Unite Against Fascism - launch statement

'We call, as a matter of the greatest urgency, for the broadest unity
against the alarming rise in racism and fascism in Britain today.

'The fascist British National Party averaged 17 per cent of the vote in the
seats they contested in the last local government elections and now has a
record 16 councilors across Britain. They are poised to field candidates in
the 2004 European Parliament, local government elections and the next
general election, in what they hope will be the biggest electoral assault
ever mounted by the far right in this country.

'The BNP is now trying to present itself as a 'respectable' political party.
In fact they are a fascist party. Currently they seek to attract votes on
the basis of racism, Islamophobia and the vilification of refugees and
asylum seekers. But fascists also stand for the expulsion of Black and Asian
people from this country, the destruction of the trade unions and the
elimination of basic democratic rights.

'We believe that this dangerous situation requires a new and united response
from all those dedicated to freedom and democracy. Now is the time for all
of us to combine our forces and unite in a broad and common front against
this common threat.'
