NF & KKK lynched black people in effigy in Swansea

360 | 11.03.2013 04:00 | Anti-racism | Wales

On 19 Feb 1941 the Nazis arrived over Swansea - the Luftwaffe injured 400 locals and killed 230 innocent Welsh people. On the 9 March 2013 the Nazis came back....

KKK lynch golly & make Nazi salutes at Blood & Honour concert

On 19 Feb 1941 the Nazis arrived over Swansea - the Luftwaffe dropped over 1,200 high explosive bombs and 56,000 incendiary devices, destroying over 800 homes, schools, businesses and churches, damaging 11,000 buildings, injuring 400 locals and killing 230 innocent Welsh people.

On the 9 March 2013 the Nazis came back. The National Front organised a "White Pride" (sic) rally in Swansea, followed that evening by a concert of the Nazi music organisation Blood & Honour, which takes its name from the motto of the Hitler Youth.

Despite drawing Nazis from all over the UK, predictably the NF rally in Swansea was tiny, but during the Blood & Honour concert hooded Klansmen made Nazi salutes and lynched a giant golliwog to mock victims of racist murders and to symbolise their intention to murder black people.

The NF rally and Blood & Honour concert were both organised by David and Bryan Powell (who also performed in the concert) and Luke Pippen

Talk about someone who blew his chance

11.03.2013 18:20

After the Welsh Defence League collapsed in 2010, Chris Lewis asked to be left alone, saying he just wanted to get on with his life, and his request was respected. Since then, rather than choosing to keep a low profile, he's been literally banging the drum for Fascism at National Front parades and performing vicious race-hate songs alongside hooded Klansmen at Blood & Honour gigs.

Spotter Cards?

11.03.2013 19:16

You obviously have a good idea who alot of these faces are, their names, what organisations thy belong to etc.

Could someone put together a spotter card of their details? No doubt a lot of them will come to Brighton for the March for England and it would be good for anti-fascists on the ground to have details of who is who, handy.

There will be squads out actively hunting for nazi scum to have some frank political discussions - and they'll be more interested in white suprimacests than silly loners with misguided ideas of muslims.

exactly how easy is it to go to a blood and honour gig, i mean, ive gone to punk gigs in London for years, and yeah, i have listen to a bit of anarcho/oi/krust music, i do know of Cockney Rejects, and a few of those sorts of bands, but if called up the mobile phone number and went to the gig, what sort of welcome would i get, im assuming they ask me loads of questions etc..

im not black, so i pass the first test.

i aint a nazi or anything, or even a sympathiser!

Welsh KKK founded by sex offender Allan Beshella

Welsh Klan founder and sex offender Allan Beshella

The Welsh Klan was founded by KKK Grand Klingon, Grand Klaxon, Grand Wizard or whatever the fuck these shit-for-brains call themselves, called Allan Beshella, who emigrated to Maesteg from California after he'd been convicted in the USA as a sex offender.... is that what Bryan and David Powell brothers mean by White "Pride"?

Racist violence shot up after Beshella moved to Wales

Not Darren Clifft

Indy mods

13.03.2013 10:19

We always knew the St George's Day march in Brighton is a Nazi walkabout, an not (as the March for England organisers pretend) some kind of "family fun day"

So, we had one Blood & Honour thug post above (using the name "ES" - Eddie Stampton?), also admitting he committed violent assaults on the Brighton demo, thereby proving the point about Brighton on both counts...

But unfortunately IMC mods spiked his comment - yet again removing exactly the wrong information from Indymedia

Welsh Nazi - Adam Turner / Hughes?

13.03.2013 11:06

Welsh Nazi Adam Turner... performing for Blood & Honour in 2013

At the time of his work for the Welsh Defence League

Group photo with Swansea NF / Combat 18

But maybe his surname might be Hughes?

The Blood & Honour Swansea gig featured Nazi karaoke act Blackout (one of those so-called Oi bands who don't understand the word "Oi" comes from the Yiddish slang of London's East End). Anyhow, as seen in the Live Leak video, Blackout feature a former Welsh Defence League Facebook admin, possible Abergavenny resident, who calls himself Adam Turner (see screen-grabs). Bearing in mind that all the information available about these people was info that they themselves chose to place in the public domain, Adam's details were noted at the time of WDL activism, but not re-publicised, partly out of consideration for the wee fella's obvious youth, but now he's a grown adult, and openly supporting homicidal Nazism, things have changed

Be aware some Nazis (like Adam's friend "Earl Turner" aka Luke Pippen) adopt "Turner" pseudonyms to ape characters in the "Turner Diaries" (the Nazi terror book that inspired serial-killer David Copeland) - so, since this gentleman indicated on Facebook that his parents surname is Hughes, possibly his real surname might be Hughes? In the group photo he can be seen (red boots) posing alongside Bryan Powell & Wayne Baldwin etc. On Facebook he described himself as a former student of the (very posh) King Henry VIII Grammar School in Abergavenny. He's aged a bit since most of these photos were taken. Please post any more info / clarifications....

According to "No Race Hate in Swansea" the venue info was wrong so Indy mods please remove the comment including the link above, ASAP, and remove the original thread this link led to -

https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2013/03/507442.html

Sincere apologies to the venue in question. The venue should however blame the Nazis for deliberately including them in the false information they spread about their plans however

Valley Commandos Motorcycle Club, Abercynon

First photo - same "Valley Commandos" emblem as in Blood & Honour photos (above). This could be an innocent mistake, booked in ignorance by the venue, however the Valley Commandos MC logo is virtually identical to the Combat 18 logo, and on Facebook a British Movement supporter called Mark Owens shows up as being friends with Bryan Powell and dozens of NF goons and as "liking" the Valley Commandos Motorcycle Club in Abercynon - sign in to Facebook, then go to this link...

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Valley-commandos-biker-club/197773790256955

... then click on "11 people like this" (top right), then click on "Mark Owens", which will take you to this page...

Enoch was right

13.03.2013 21:20

After Enoch Powell was appointed Minister for Health in 1960, Powell oversaw massive recruitment of NHS doctors from the Indian subcontinent, many of whom went to work in the least prestigious practices, such as, for instance, deprived working-class communities in the Welsh Valleys, which many ethnically white doctors preferred to avoid serving, but whose residents the immigrant doctors served ever since.

Case in point is the Abercynon Health Centre, where Sri Lankan and Gujarati doctors serve the interests of the white working class, while a tiny handful of Ku Klux Fuckstains of the South Wales NF celebrate the regime whose Luftwaffe butchered the people of Swansea during the Blitz.

Indy mods please don't remove Eddie Stampton's comment about Brighton above, or remove his Swastika graphic, because it's useful to be able to prove that the people Anti-Fascists will be facing in Brighton aren't "patriots" at all but proper Nazis like him. Thanks.

@AFC - all the evidence available on-line suggests Chris Lewis teaches music as a freelancer, yes I agree the relevant authorities should definitely be informed - that a KKK supporter who lynched black people in effigy is offering his services as a teacher, there's a serious issue of child protection at stake here. I take it as red that the police constantly monitor Indymedia, I wonder whether they'll bother to do ANYTHING?

@still curious - the Indy mods STILL HAVN'T removed links to inaccurate info about the venue (inaccurate info which was supplied by Hope Not Hate btw), however the actual venue was the Valley Commandos Motorcycle Club in Abercynon - see above

16.03.2013 09:22

The people who attended the Swansea demo are congratulating themselves they actually managed to wait until after the demo before getting pissed - not much of an achievement is it

Yes, shaving your head, putting on weight and wearing combat gear can create the superficial appearance of an intimidating presence, but as a case in point, on one demo SDL rent-a-plumps visibly struggled to run up a (short) flight of steps. You should always be careful just in case, but in reality the ones to be most concerned about are skinny ones like Darren Clifft, he's actually a martial artist, unlike most of these gimps

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/black-country-man-christophe-philips-5391195

Black Country man appears in court over 'mock golliwog hanging' -

A Black Country man has appeared in court to face racial hatred charges after he allegedly posted footage on YouTube in which he apparently staged a mock hanging of a lifesize golliwog. Christopher Philips, 23, of Willenhall, faced two race hate counts when he appeared before Walsall magistrates on Wednesday (July 31). Philips is accused of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with the intention or likelihood of stirring up racial hatred. He is further charged with playing a recording of sounds intending to, or likely to, cause racial hatred. The charges relate to a gig following an extreme right-wing ‘white pride’ march held in south Wales on March 9 this year, when it is also alleged Philips wore a Ku Klux Klan outfit. He allegedly posted a video on YouTube three days later. Philips did not enter a plea to the charges and was told by magistrate Patricia Whistance his case would be sent to Wolverhampton Crown Court on October 24. Philips, wearing a grey suit, white shirt, light blue tie and sporting short brown hair, was granted bail on the condition that he lived at his home address, observed a 9pm-7am curfew, reported to Bloxwich police station twice a week, and did not post anything on or access social media sites including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
