ANTIFA - Voting Labour Will NOT Stop Fascism

15-05-2009 14:54

In the run-up to the forthcoming Euro elections, both New Labour and the BNP hope to use racism to maximise their vote. The BNP will use the age-old tactic of scapegoating 'immigrants' and 'foreigners', and basically anyone who isn't white, while wooing those sickened by the greed and corruption of the mainstream political parties. In particular they will hope to appeal to disaffected former Labour voters who feel abandoned and betrayed by Britain's ruling political party. For their part, New Labour will be hoping to mobilise anti-racists into voting for them simply 'to stop the BNP', ignoring Labour's own appalling record of racism, and the fact that the BNP have only been allowed to grow in the political climate they have created. They will be aided in this cruel and threadbare chicanery, by the middle-class Left, who are clueless in their analysis of fascism and simply see the BNP as an opportunity to recruit gullible new members and swell the coffers of their party. Typical of this ilk are the ‘Searchlight’ front ‘Hope Not Hate’, who in return for heavy funding from New Labour and its political satellites, are attempting to lead another generation of anti-racists down the blind alley of electoralism.

Mayday Mayday Brighton Smash EDO protest

09-05-2009 13:42

Despite the Brighton’s Argus EDF (energy Daily Newspaper of the Year) editor’s, best efforts in outweighing the balance of positive comments from the many residents who don't want an Arms factory anywhere near their town by two to one. All that all that could be offered in it’s pages by way of a reasonable counter argument against the demonstrators was idiotic twaddle like "Why don't they have a bath and get a life", "Why aren’t they recycling their bottles and cans instead of using them as weapons" from the rudely awakened Mr and Mrs Complacent of Brighton

Public meeting: Stop the deportations of the Pakistani students

09-05-2009 00:19

Stop the Criminalization of muslims. There will be two public meetings in Manchester in response to the decision by the Home Office to deport muslims for opaque reasons of "national security" despite no evidence being found, apart from possession of sugar and photographs of Manchester landmarks, for the much publicised "very big terrorist plot" as the Prime Minister called it, just before 12 men were arrested and detained for almost two weeks before being released without charge into detention by the immigration authorities where they may remain for several years pending their appeal against arbitrary deportation. If civil rights aren't for you, forget about these meetings.

Those pests have struck again.

After their spoof of the local paper was so well received the people behind the Yorkshire Evening Pest have responded to yet another rise in the fares on First buses by producing stickers which helpfully inform passengers of both the rise in prices and what the company really thinks of them.
