A large BNP (British National Party) meeting was held in a village just outside Halifax on Easter Sunday (27/03/05). The BNP leader, Nick Griffin was present at the meeting, and on the agenda was party strategy for the May elections, and also the demonstration coinciding with Nick Griffin answering his bail at Halifax police station on April 6th.
At short notice, a mobilisation was organised to counter the meeting. Due to police presence on the day, the response to the meeting would have to be short and sweet. So thirty anti-fascists pulled up outside the meeting and within seconds were hurling half bricks and rocks at the BNP security, who ran inside the meeting hall. BNP activists cars were smashed (most car insurance doesn't cover vandalism). Job done, and a quick getaway was made. No injuries, or arrests made.

Nobody cares, except the BNP. An 80 year old pensioner is facing a campaign of harassment in her own home just because she is white and British. Margaret has lived in her Rotherham home for fifty years trouble-free, gradually her entire street saw her friends move away as the Muslims moved in. She has remained in her family home despite the pressure to get her out of the way.
The trouble started when a mosque, a former church opened in her street, directly opposite her house. The Muslims want rid of her and have even turned up with a bag of cash to buy her out of her home. The offer that was made was much less than the market value of her property.
Since then Margaret has been subject to
• Black paint thrown at her window
• Rubbish thrown into her garden
• White paint thrown over her lawn and footpath
• Police arrest for defending her property
Police cell
The final straw came when her Muslim neighbour demolished a 5ft Victorian Gatepost shared between the two adjacent properties and replaced it with a 3ft concrete post. Distraught and upset that this fine landmark should have been vandalised and demolished, the defiant pensioner took a hammer and chisel and reduced the concrete pillar to dust. Her Muslim neighbour contacted the Police who duly arrived and proceeded to bundled Margaret into a police car. She was taken to the local station where she spent several hours in a police cell. She was released without charge but shaken by the experience.
Margaret has contacted her local councillor, the three Rotherham MPs and the local newspapers and not one of the people she has contacted has offered any support or words of advice. One vexed councillor has called her “a nutty old bat” and Labour MP for Rotherham, Denis McShane with a massive 13,000 majority suggested she moves away from the area. It would be poetic justice if the Muslim bloc vote ensures that Mr. McShane fails to get re-elected on an anti-Iraq war protest.
Ethnic cleansing
This ongoing harassment against this grandmother is nothing less than ethnic cleansing and not a single councillor or MP has had the courage and bothered to help this pensioner. The followers of the religion of “peace” want rid of non-believers from what they consider to be “their area”. Similar situations are being acted out in towns and schemes across the country; Luton, Glasgow, Peterborough, Bradford, London and Oldham, areas where there is a sizeable Muslim community.
In desperation Margaret contacted local BNP representative Marlene Guest, Marlene is the prospective parliamentary candidate for the Rotherham constituency. Marlene has contacted the local council and the local newspapers on Margaret’s behalf and other BNP members have offered to help clean up the mess in her garden and keep her company and generally look out for her. That is real care in the community, something that the failed New Labour politicians can never understand.
A short video clip about Margaret’s plight can be seen on BNPTV.
Margaret's generation deserves better than this. Her late husband was a war hero and gave the best years of his life to defend this country.

This is actually a violation of Indymedia's editorial guidelines - you're supposed to write your own comments: http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/static/editorial.html
On the article itself, it is hard to comment since the BNP's own interpretations of such incidents are notoriously unreliable, and always used to further its racist political agenda. Racist incidents against white people do sometimes happen though they are almost always reactive, and dwarfed by the racist violence and abuse of white supremacists.
You don't need to infiltrate the BNP as a BBC journalist with a hidden camera to know that the BNP is made up of people who fanatsise about spraying mosques with machine-gun fire and who attack defenceless people for fun. But it has been done.
"Nobody cares, except the BNP." Wow - a Nazi accusing others of lacking compassion. You know full well that the BNP would never have noticed Margaret if she wasn't white.
You got swastika eyes.

Maybe these people are ones who (their resistance to the BNP aside) have been targeted, maybe not, but it doesn't stop at race etc. Maybe one day the Fascists will come for you Ed, Then who will fight for you?

And how exactly would you know anyway, if you're simply a 'disillusioned supporter'? funny how NO-ONE else seems to have heard these rumours.
You're either a very badly disguised nazi on a trawling mission that no-one with any ounce of sense would be stupid enough to fall for, or a copper trying an equally desperate tactic, or more likely you're just some fuckwit who doesn't have a clue what they're on about.
You're just making yourself look stupid... now go away.

"The BNP won this General Election! The reason being that Immigration was the hot topic of conversation. It was the issue everyone was talking about. Racism is not dead inBritain but growing! It is now legitimate to question immigration and immigrants. Racism is becoming acceptable."
Always a mistake posting your e-mail addresses Max. Surprising what even the most rudimentary detective work will turn up.

So put yourself to the test. As for you having to chase Nazis around Leeds these days,cant you add up. The BNP stood a record number of candidates in both local and national elections in Yorkshire including Leeds, you dont have to look far.
As for people having bottle, where you one of the thugs who lobbed bricks at kids and then ran away. Some bottle.
Mate you couldnt knock the skin of a rice pudding. Real anti fascists like me dont have to talk tough, we let our political actions speak for us.
