Anyway now that is cleared up, Monday saw the beginning of the trial for ‘incitement to racial hatred’ of BNP leader Nick Griffin and his (not Gay) sidekick Mark Collet. For many it was like Groundhog Day in Leeds with an identical number of Nazis and Antifascists as last time. The Police operation was also breathtakingly similar to the last one with even the same FIT clowns from the MET being sent up to waste everybodys taxes. The weather was also the same as were the chants, placards, faces and politics. If you read the review of the previous demo:

Then you may as well stop here, as there are no new revelations other than the confirmation that Mark Collett does it with girls and definitely not boys or sheep.
The BNP, outnumbered by their Police protectors.
The much bigger UAF/Trade Union demo.
Following close behind Griffin was Collet who it seems intent in following in his Fuhrers footsteps and one day becoming one of Britain’s unimpressive fascist leaders. A bit like Martin Webster or Nicky Crane…
There was no direct action taken against the assembled Nazis who were heavily outnumbered by the counter demo. The exception was one individual who attempted to confiscate one of the BNPs flags ripping it from its pole. The assembled plods sprang into action bundling our heroic (if somewhat kamikaze) antifascist away to be arrested. This was one of the few interesting moments in what was a very tedious outing for all concerned.
At around 1pm the assembled antifascists went and had their rally. This gave the BNP their opportunity to bore all concerned with some insomnia curing speeches. The only bit of light relief came when the BNP ‘vicar’ showed up to deliver one of his barking mad sermons. This time he went one better, striking an important blow for atheists everywhere by banging out a truly tuneless rendition of ‘To be a Pilgrim’. The original composer of the hymn would probably have topped themselves on hearing this had they not already been dead. If the BNP are trying to replicate the success of the Christian right in other countries then they could be in for a rocky ride. The fact that they seem to have set up a new front group under the title “Christian Council of Britain” suggests that this could be the case. Like most white supremacist outfits, many of their core supporters are into Odinism and all those fringe Nordic religions. This way they don’t have to consider the problem that the Christian Messiah was probably what they would describe as black and definitely Jewish. Roll on another split…..
The demos were filmed by Derek ‘Decker’ Dawson the BNP’s answer to Leni Riefenstahl who spent the day hanging out with the assembled media and trying to earwig their conversations. Even if he hadn’t been recognized by anti fascists as a member of the BNP from Burnley it was pretty obvious. The fact that he spent most of his time taking close-ups of the UAF demonstrators was a bit of a giveaway. It should be remembered that many of the images on ‘Red Watch’ are in fact stills taken from video. The BNPs opponents should consider this the next time they spot this inbred cretin filming them.
Finally it should be pointed out that the earlier reference to former NF leader Martin Webster is not intended to give credence to his claim that he had a homosexual affair with Nick Griffin in the late seventies. The fact that Griffin (who is loaded) has refused to sue Webster over the claims is immaterial. The BNP say that when they come to power being gay will become illegal. So please remember in the meantime that their fixation with shiny boots, leather coats and shaved heads is unrelated.

More about the BMP, a new political party

Their policy discussions focus almost exclusively on countries called "Iraq!" and "Iran!", though none of its members has ever set foot outside Millwall!
"Concerned" was given a pet cat over Christmas: this doubled the membership of the BMP, a dramatic tactical boost which will hopefully be reflected in an improved quality of comments from their membership over the coming months!
Thank you and goodbye!

Unlike the shameful implications about Mister Current Co-defendant which do nobody any good. Unless you like that sort of thing. American Travel to meet genuine Fascists that is.
Just like Mark Cotterill - who apparently resigned from the American Friends of the BNP in mysterious circumstances in August 2001. AFBNP has now apparently disbanded - after all why take cheques whe you have PayPal.
If Concerned could furnish a similar tidbit about Hamza (Perhaps he takes tea with Mister Myatt - who knows. Anything for scandal) then maybe someone would furnish Financial details of the £1,500 Benefit discrepancy of Mister Cotterill - did it have anything to do with Sharron Edwards, Party Treasurer Michael Newlands and West Midlands Organiser Steve Edwards all "leaving" amid allegations of financial irregularities within the BNP.
Who knows.

I understand that pointing out any contradictions is a good way of expeosing the shit that the BNP talk, but does using this topic help anybody? Or does it make people who are gay feel even more tlike they are laughed at?

BNP 300 UAF ?
20.01.2006 13:43
The BNP shows many more pictures of themselves proving their claim of numbers of 300 +.
The UAF on the other hand has not disproved the BNPs claim that they had only 300, maybe truth telling is a class you dont take at university.

In fact all he has to back his claims is his Nazi political prejudices and his pathetic problem with educated people. Diddums, just 'cos most BNPers are too thick to get GCSEs, much less anything else.
The fascists' tedious pretensions to speak for working people is obviously bullshit, and has been a stuck record ever since Hitler brutally shored up the bosses' power in 1933.
[CLUE for Madman: Going to university is usually reckoned to be a GOOD THING. That's why people do it]

Have you actually read the BNP’s policies? They will NOT make homosexuality illegal when they are in power.
“The Police turned a blind eye to this just like last time leaving many wondering if they were in some way sympathetic to aims and objectives of Britain’s self declared ‘Master race’?”
‘Self-declared’? Funny that…I’ve never heard the BNP describe themselves as the 'Master race'.
“The exception was one individual who attempted to confiscate one of the BNPs flags ripping it from its pole. The assembled plods sprang into action bundling our heroic (if somewhat kamikaze) antifascist away to be arrested…”
Your 'heroic antifascist'? Interesting – you actually seem to be praising him for breaking the law and attempting to antagonize the BNP supporters. Yet on the few occasions when BNP members break the law you jump right on top of them. Ever so slightly hypocritical?
In all? I enjoy your articles, if merely from an entertainment point of view, but can’t you at least try to cut back on the scaremongering and get your facts correct?
Cheers.

Or how the American Friends of the BNP plea bargained with the Justice Department because Mark Cerr (a Pseudonym) was breaking both American and UK Law. Or why PayPal - with the "untraceable" small donations is preferred to Barclays.
So stop sitting around laughing and actually make the BNP finance clear. Are Banned American Neo Nazi Hate Groups still calling the shots? If you don't make it clear foolish people will merely speculate.

Street violence denials - fine. Donations via PayPal, not fine.
£15,440 From Gaming? What's that all about? It would be quicker to explain on line than to write to the accountants (Silver & Co. 77 High Green, Cannock, Staffordshire, WS11 1BN) and ask. Or maybe you could give a contact there for all of those Paypal Users to ask for receipts, audits and the like. Come on. Make Indymedia the serious source of reporting you want it to be.
Or maybe Sikorski is a Fascist apologist with no desire to see any Indymedia reporting.

I am no 'fascist', perhaps you should consult a dictionary for the correct meaning of the word as you seem to have no idea.

Fascist Apologism
25.01.2006 20:12
"[Fascism] is a technique for obtaining Power, exacting a ruthless militarism and rejecting all appeals to ethics. Fascism denies Democracy - and asserts: Faith, Obedience, Combat to be the ultimate slogan."
I already knew what an apologist is. So A Fascist Apologist would be someone making excuses for those sort of things. Not necessarily a Fascist themselves.
So Back to the PayPal thing. Thanks for the Advice. PayPal inform me that it is entirely possible to place all transactions for a particular account into spreadsheets and such. This would allow the BNP to make clear all of their transactions via the Wonderful World Wide Web. An apologist would merely ignore such an opportunity. A genuine Nationalist would simply do it - secure in the knowledge that publishing such accounts would promote Democracy in their Nation. Combating the speculation and outrageous remarks that could arise from everybody knowing it is possible to do but is not done. A Shame. And one that merely fuels speculation.
An Apologist for Fascism is more dangerous than a Fascist. An Apologist for Fascism spins lies for the ruthless. An Apologist laughs as the Genocides pile high the corpses. Apologists for Fascism are no better than the Evil they Fetischise.
