BNP plan rally in Brum

The contemptible stain that is the BNP are expected to rally in Birmingham city centre on Tuesday 10th February in support of former teacher and current fascist Adam Walker who left his former job following allegations of using school property to spread racist messages on internet forums.

The contemptible stain that is the BNP are expected to rally in Birmingham city centre on Tuesday 10th February in support of former teacher and current fascist Adam Walker who left his former job following allegations of using school property to spread racist messages on internet forums.

The sceond part of Walker's hearing is taking place at the General Teaching Council, Victoria Square, Birmingham on the morning of February 10th. During the last hearing which took place in November last year the BNP managed to drag out 30 odd specimens from around the country together with a dozen or so meat heads in their security team to come out and support their members "right" to make racist statements on white-nationalist websites using his school laptop. Although they received plenty of abuse from passing crowds of locals who couldn't believe a fascist party would have the audacity to demonstrate in Birmingham city centre the official opposition gave the fascists little cause for concern.

The relative ease with which the BNP were able to hold a demonstration in englands second city suggests that they'll most likely try and do the same again in order to whip up support and consolidate their appearance as a "legitimate political party". It's up to anti-fascists to ensure that the BNP and any other group of fascists who create racial division, profit from nationalist sentiment and divide our communities are not permitted to rally on our streets without facing vehement opposition from those who will not tolerate the far right in Britain.

Keep the fash off the streets of Brum!
Tuesday 10th February
Victoria Square, Birmingham
Arrive early

There's no mention of a rally on any of the BNP sites, unlike last time.

Where is this info from?

I don't recall there being any mention of it on the BNP's website last time, they advertised it on stormfront, facebook and using their internal bulletin.

The hearing is set to take place on Tuesday 10th February at the General Teaching Council.

Jim, where does it say in that article that the BNP will not be attending the Walker hearing? I've trawled through the 3 pages of nonsense, platitudes and verbal crap that constitute the comments section but i can't see anything.
