Just a manipulated organisation

When the train of a social movement leaves the station, the security and intelligence services feel compelled to hop on board
The BNP undoubtedly has government agents amongst its hierarchy much as the SWP has Alex Callinicos (or whatever his name is) calling the shots
Why bother with them? they are just an extension of central governments attempts to sew conflict and introduce 'summary justice' to deal with it

The BNP (all 5 of them) were kept completely separate from the antis (40 of those) by the police, nobody was 'offed' by anybody, except the BNP candidate, Chris Hill, who was offed by the voters.
Perhaps the BNP supporters who persist in posting lies on Indymedia and other places should consider reading something other than the self-obsessed BNP site, the Sun and the Stormfront forum. Maybe then they'd be able to tell reality from fantasy. Try the Lancaster UAF blog - at least it tells the truth...
'Skerton West by-election result - BNP come last
Forty people, complete with placards and leaflets, came along and demonstrated against the British National Party outside the by-election count at Ryelands School last night. The local vicar joined us at one point and said that while it was bad that the BNP had stood in the ward it was good that Lancaster UAF and our supporters had leafletted against them. Many drivers passing the demonstration, once realising who we were, took leaflets or blew their horns as a sign of support. Very encouraging, although one of them got told off by the plods for blocking traffic.
Chris Hill, the BNP candidate, had only four supporters with him, unless a couple were hiding somewhere. Hill keeps good company. One of his little entourage was Bradford BNP councillor, Paul Cromie, currently being investigated in a vote-buying scandal, while another was well-known Combat 18 thug and stunningly useless BNP councillor for Calderdale, Adrian Marsden, former bodyguard to BNP leader Nick Griffin during the January court case in Leeds.
Hill's little gang accompanied him into the count so there were no pro-BNP demonstrators outside. When the BNP left the count after the result, demonstrators waving placards and shouting anti-nazi slogans crowded round both sides of the school gate to wave goodbye - hopefully forever.
Despite numerous leaflets, almost continual canvassing and being out on the day with the traditional loudspeaker, Hill only managed third place.
Total votes cast 1383
Turnout 31.13%
Robert Smith (Labour) 826 (Elected)
Debbie Buck (Conservative) 336
Chris Hill (BNP) 220

"So its true! The UAF are just a ofshoot of the Labour party, at last the UAF admit it! Anarchists alongside Labour party supporters and the local vicar! You have just made my day, you are really funny."
Well, no. Not exactly. Twat. No-one has admitted anything of the sort. Yeah, UAF has people from many different affiliations as well as people from no affiliation all uniting against fascism. Yes, that includes people from the laobur party just as it includes people from many other parties and indeed anarchists from no party.
What's so surprising anyway about anarchists working alongside other people. Since when have anarchists had to keep themselves strictly to themselves.
I know it's easy to dismiss people who believe in mainstream politics as scum. I certainly find it hard to stomach the 3 main parties. But SHITLOADS of people vote for labour (and the other two parties). Shitloads of ordinary people. If you really want to go off on your own and be holier-than the general public who just aren't radical enough for you then that's your choice. Meanwhile, OTHER PEOPLE will make other choices. And yeah, I know you were being sarcastic but if "the local vicar" wants to unite against fascism too then fair play to him (or her!).

King Of All Mingers - Nick Cass Is So Tough!!!

Just 'cos the police don't mind you taking photos for Redwatch, doesn't mean we'll sit back while you take the piss. One day, you'll won't be bragging like you are now, and the government will wake up and smell the coffee, and confiscate your wanky little camera, poor darling...
How many kids have taken the piss out of you, Nicky Baby? Don't you hear them sniggering behind your back, as you walk down the street? Holding Chris Beverley's hand won't protect you from the inevitable ridicule, whenever you pass by a group of kids down the street, while sticking leaflets in doors.
It's a wonder you ever got laid, looking as ugly as you do!!!
How the fuckity did Nick Cass get laid? Answers on a postcard, fascist watchers!

What a decade for the BNP... from Tyndall's fantasies of of controlling the streets with his make-believe army of muscular lederhosen-clad young men, to Griffin's dumbed-down UKIP-meets-Daily Express in a cheap nylon suit, to this... some kind of lame Boy Scout charity day.
How about Nick Cass in a canoe - anyone else getting images of some kind of aquatic Weeble???
