The Skegness Standard supports fascism

anon@indymedia.org (East Midlands Anti-fascists) | 11.03.2013 08:55

The BNP has recently announced that its Lincolnshire Coastal Branch, organised by Grimsby’s Robert Ashton, will be holding another day of action in Skegness next weekend. The BNP will be meeting from 11.30am on Sat 16th March, with the intention of marching to the Heath Road halal abattoir. Last time they met at The Victoria, 23 Wainfleet Road. We don’t imagine they will have moved far but you can call them on 07714009285 to find out. They are even taking the party’s Lie Lorry for a spin around the streets – let’s hope that there are no low bridges in Skegness! Party activists will, once again,  be crying crocodile tears and pretending to care about animal rights but in reality they are more interested in persecuting Muslims.

Interestingly, local paper The Skegness Standard seems to be propping them up, giving the fascists “ground breaking” advertising space for their demo. Readers may remember that after the last BNP demo in January, the Standard gave the BNP a totally uncritical front page article, which will undoubtedly have been a boost for them. Either the people running the paper are totally naive or are sympathetic to the fascists.

We have written to the Standard’s editor, Philip Murray, asking him why his publication is giving support to the fascist BNP. We ask that anti-fascists contact Mr Murrary to find out why his publication is promoting a party led by a holocaust denier that has a racist and authoritarian ideology:

Skegness Standard
Unit 22
The Hildreds
Skegness

At least they're not afraid to touch issues such as cruel, barbaric religious slaughter which many Antifascist, animal rights groups and politicians tiptoe around out of fear of been racist.

Maybe if more Animal Rights groups protested and campaigned against the cruel religious slaughter there would be no need for the BNP to do so? That won't happen though, because most are scared of been branded as racist. I couldn't give a toss who is campaigning against halal and kosher slaughter as long as someone is. I care more about the rights of animals than the rights of vermin humans who have messed up this once beautiful world.

If i's gonna take the fascists to campaign against religious slaughter then so be it.

What worries me is the amount of growing support the BNP seems to be getting recently.

People might also want to ask the CEO of the publishing group that owns the Skegness Standard why it’s supporting fascism. The firm is Johnston Press and the head honcho is Ashley Highfield – email  ashley.highfield@jpress.co.uk or tweet him at @ashleyhi
