A report from the anti bnp demo in blackpool today.

Report on anti bnp march/demo:

Well we got back from this earlier and for those of you that came last year it was pretty much the same except we marched/walked from the winter gdns to the hotel shouting anti bnp chants on there megaphones but our megaphone got in there with some good angrily shouted chants such as nick griffin your time has come, nazi/fascist scum your time has come we even added so youd better fuckin' run a few times to that one lol, no race war class war, anarchist communism or death and a few more we even had a rant at mcdonalds too and and someone complained to our comrade because he swore a few times. When we got to the kimberly hotel there were more police (ACAB) waiting for us so we just went onto the grass and listened to various speakers and chanted some more at the bnp scum as usual there was the occasional bnp member looking through the curtains. Thanks to everyone that came and to the luaf for organising it.

A small group swearing through a megaphone walking through the streets of Blackpool, to gather outside the hotel for more swearing and shouting slogans.
Then pack up and go home.
I bet the BNP were shaking in their shoes.

Not alot of swearing

There was only 1 or 2 incidents where someone swore so it wasnt just a bunch of anti fascists shouting and swearing! And although the demo hasnt accomplished much at least we showed them that there was an opposition to the bnp being in blackpool as there were quite a few blackpool residents there.

For anybody in blackpool that wants to be involved in anti-fascist activity in blackpool email the email add thats in the news article.

A member of St Helens' Socialist Party got his nose broken by someone who I suspect was a BNP member while walking back down the prom on his own. Anyone else see any trouble?
