Bradford's BNP Latest Meeting Place

Rock Fans Against Race Hate | 05.07.2009 10:50 | Anti-racism | Culture | Social Struggles | Sheffield

West Yorkshire's BNP current meeting at a popular music venue that regularly hosts local bands from West Yorkshire and beyond, the Royal pub in Low Moor. Like their hero Adolf Hitler with his beer hall meetings, the Royal is where West Yorkshire's fat and ugly BNP demifuhrers now meet regularly to plot their campaigns of hatred.



The BNP in Bradford including Griffinite cronie councillors, Paul and Linda Cromie, are currently meeting at a popular music venue that regularly hosts local bands from West Yorkshire and beyond, the Royal pub in Low Moor. Like their hero Adolf Hitler with his beer hall meetings, it's particularly sad that neo-nazis use alcohol to spread their message of hate.

The Royal is sadly the latest venue where West Yorkshire's fat and ugly BNP demifuhrers meet regularly to plot their coordinated racist campaigns, while hoping to indoctinate some of the venue's younger drinkers.

Described by one drinker as a "proper BNP party members pub", this isn't just an ordinary bog-standard boozer. This popular Low Moor pub is unwittingly being used far right thugs from around the region to spread the fascists' poisonous message of hate by rabble-rousers such as the Cromies...

These Nazi scumbags will always find some hovel to meet at, but what is particularly worrying here, is the Royal is popular with young musicians, most if not all of whom are unaware that this place has become a fash-friendly pub.

We do not ensorse anything but a peaceful, lawful boycott of the premises, and in particular, we advise both potential drinkers and any musicians due to play there to think twice about supporting premises which hold regular BNP organisers' meetings.

(to avoid confusion): - This is the Royal Hotel, New Works Road, Bradford, West Yorkshire BD12 0RQ

(not the Royal in Heckmondwike, another BNP haunt)

Hopefully the manager/landlord will step in and ban the likes of the Cromies from gathering there, when anti-racist drinkers vote with their feet and drink elsewhere, and the takings fall!

Arsed-brained BNP trolls, don't even bother posting bullshit comments following this article. Despite electing an affirmed national socialist from Harrogate, we can rest assured that most Yorkshire voters do not support the BNP despite the Westminster expenses scandal.

Easy To Remember for BNP Half-Wits, lol

It's quite fitting that two popular pubs used by the BNP to meet (Low Moor and Heckomndwike), have the name Royal when the BNP are anti-British, and don't actually like Prince Charles and the rest of the royal family.

Maybe by meeting at pubs with the same name, it ensures that tit-brained low IQ members of the "masterrace" don't forget where they are meant to meet.

Boycots Are Best

05.07.2009 12:06

That won't be necessary! Non-violent boycots suffice. Just like the Royal in Heckmondwike, concerted protests ensure takings fall. When pubs make a loss, they close, whether racist haunts or otherwise.

Let's Keep It Peaceful Please!

05.07.2009 12:16

All action against the pub needs to be 100% peaceful! The nazis like to claim they are victims and they always make the most of violent acts commited against them. So no more thoughtless comments about broken windows that plays into the hands of fascists, here please.

It also doesn't help the cause of Indymedia to have posts approving of criminal direct actions, when Greece is already trying to shut this website site down, and other world governments try to follow suit.

Boycotts work wonders in the long run. Most casual Low Moor pubgoers once they know the Royal is a fascist boozer will spread the word not to drink there, and the place will shut!

It would be better still

if all the pubs the BNP are known to meet at were all listed together rather than one at a time. Could someone collate all this information and post it so that it can be picked up easily by all regions. Then people in those regions can pass it it accordingly for local boycotts.

For example the Collingwood in Bolton-Upon-Dearne in Barnsley has a landlady, a woman called Peel, who has stood as a council candidate for the BNP. Also another pub in Barnsley called the Spencers Arms in Barugh Green was used by the BNP in 2008 as an election campaign headquarters. Griffin even visited it. Barnsley BNP were stupid enough to put this information on its own website. (But don't confuse it with the Spencer Arms a couple of miles away in Cawthorne). This is separate to Griffin's well-advertised meeting in Barnsley in May this year at the Fleets in Shafton.

get a grip, no tactics should be dismissed in the fight against fascism. Just because you yourself are not a fan of this approach does not mean it will work.

It will shut the pub far faster than you and your friends boycotting a pub you probably don't even go to anyway.

Pubs are insured, and windows are easily replaced.

Peaceful boycotts are the only tactics which work long term in shutting down BNP meeting places!

Just a week or two ago some Romanians in Belfast were getting their homes attacked by loyalists. Did you go up to them and say it's okay, the windows are insured. That wouldn't have been the point would it? They were terrified and militant anti-fascism should be about returning that terror onto its source - the fascists and their supporters. Now back to the UAF website with you.

Because a boycott is really going to work...

05.07.2009 17:07

...that's what stopped Hitler right, a boycott? As ballz said, get a fucking grip!

Social change is made by insurrections not boycotts. Smash this place in!

Or better still burn these places down. It'll likely deter other pubs as well.

Let's Not Fight Amongst Each Other

05.07.2009 18:07

Why has Indymedia become a battleground between Unite Against Fascism and direct action anarchists? Just about every thread about the BNP seems to be about like-minded people turning the metaphorical guns on each other rather than the enemy.

It seems rather than unity in a common cause, there is in-fighting all the time, which must be music to the ears of the neonazis.

Wasn't it disunity that helped the Spain lose the civil war to the nazis?

Anybody read the novel or seen the stage adaptation of Homage To Catalonia?

Surely the lessons of the brave anti-fascist fighters in Spain being pitted against each other should be learnt by us all, so as not to wash our dirty linen in public.

Orwell Fan

Why just a "peaceful, lawful boycott of the premises"?

05.07.2009 21:51

I realise you can't endorse anything other than a "peaceful, lawful boycott of the premises" for legal reasons, but I'm sure most of us agree that other tactics could be very effective.

Pubs are there to make money, so if one part of their customers are causing them grief and losing them large amounts of cash, they will boot them out pretty soon.

There seems to be more and more pub's willing to host BNP function's now than ever before.
The problem is, thank's to Labour at least 6 pub's a day are closing down and trade has dropped by up to %60 in some cases in the remaining pub's.

It's unfortunate but alot of pub's can't afford to turn away trade and whether it's spent by you, me or a member of the BNP a pound is still a pound.

You can't pay bills or feed your children on principal's can you............

That's the problem with you anti's, always going after the soft target. The people that are ultimately responsible for this pub hosting BNP function's are Labour and their attempt to kill off the "local boozer". You can not blame the landlord/lady for doing anything they can to keep their business affloat and a roof over their head's.

Here's a crazy idear instead of making threat's and vandalising their property and generally spreading misery about the place, why don't you pop into this boozer and offer to cover the loss in taking's if they cancell the BNP meeting.

Any coward can make prank call's or smash window's in the middle of the night and all that achieves is to push more people into the arm's of the BNP. But deal with it like civilised adult's and you walk away the winner.

The BNP is not fascist or nazi

The BNP is not fascist or nazi it is just nationalist standing up for Britain and the British people and against the flood of asylum seekers and Third World migrants.

"That's the problem with you anti's, always going after the soft target", said D.

I take it D IS NOT AN ANTI-FASCIST.

From the tone of this remark, justifying pubs and hotels like the flea-ridden New Kimberley from hosting neo-nazi gatherings, D is in-fact himself a BNP follower. He must be, or he wouldn't speak about anti-fash peeps as being in a different camp from himself, camp the apt word as many nazis are secretly gay.

When it comes to the far right, you're either with them or against them. You're either an anti-fascist or a facist.

There's no sitting on the fence, MISTA TROLL!

I think cheap booze at supermarkets is doing a lot of damage to pubs. Talking of damage to pubs have a look at

 http://www.barnsley-chronicle.co.uk/news/2,0000,2779.html

If that fails (as it did with me) type Barnsley Chronicle Peel Bolton into google and click on the result that matches the above address (the first when I did it) to meet the landlady of the year.

If pubs are failing, it might be due to the far-right company people have to keep there. At the Spencers Arms in Barugh Green in Barnsley local BNP members have been seen sitting outside the back. Look out for bald heads and dyed hair. So much for genetic perfection. They sit by the main road so anyone wishing to discuss their manifesto can do so quite easily.

Another pub in Barnsley worth keeping an eye on is the Cherry Tree at High Hoyland. A BNP leaflet was seen behind the bar during the recent Euro elections. It may have been an oversight by the staff but they'll need to be more discreet in future.

The other BNP pub in Barnsley, the Fleets, has lost two close rivals down on nearby Wakefield Road in recent years. If it doesn't want to follow them it may wish to rethink its policy of hosting Barnsley BNP.

Stop being biased please Mod, there is no reason to keep blocking this post.

Oh well, look's like you have caught me out Gandalph. I switched over from UKIP to BNP about 18 month's ago. I woke up to the fact UKIP are a waste of time and no better than Labour or the Conservative's.
Although the BNP would not of normally been my first choice, when it came down to it there was no other serious or practical choice. But im open to any suggestion's you may have about which party has the best idear's on how to save our country. Or you can just scream and shout "Nazi" and "Racist" as usual.
It would be nice if just once a "lefty" replied in a civilised way and had a go at putting their thought's across instead of just being abusive.

Im serious Gandalph i am actually interested in hearing you're point of view and where you think we should head as a country. I think it would be pretty interesting to have a serious debate with you, i leave alot of comment's on here and other far left site's but so far have had nothing but abuse in return. I mean you call us knuckle dragger's and ill educated but it seem's it's actually the other way round, i would say it's the left who are ill educated and unable to hold any form of interlectual discussion. Then there is the problem of the moderator's on here, for some reason alot of my post's are not allowed on the board. It's pretty obvious this is a biased, one sided site with moderator's only interested in filling it with fairytale's and left wing propaganda.

But i still stand by what i said though, The left do go after the soft target's.

At a meeting last year some of you're comrade's were brave enough to hide round the corner and wait until we had all gone indoor's before spray painting a couple of our car's.
Then a few week's later some local anti's must of had a surge of courage because they sprayed a swash sticker on a frail 74yr old pensioner's car in the middle of the night. Who ever did it was obviously local, knew he was BNP and would also of known he was a pensioner with mobility problem's.
Then there was last year's RWB where some Antifa activist's threw rock's at some women and children and then ran off.
I mean i could go on for age's but i can't really be bothered, id just like to ask one more thing.........
How come every pub or venue you threaten for holding BNP function's is alway's by annonymous phone call ? Not once have any of the "telephone hard men" ever had the ****'s to go in the pub and make their threat's face to face.
So when i say that the left alway's go after the soft target's im speaking from personal experience.
