BNP morons hold 'national demo'.

03-11-2005 22:53

On Wednesday the Fascist BNP called a national mobilization in support of their leader Nick Griffin and his rather embarrassing sidekick Mark Collett. Mark you may remember was the loser who allowed himself to be filmed saying all kinds of pro-Hitler shite by a BBC reporter. Both of them are up in court for incitement to racial hatred. There would have been a third defendant had former BNP leader John Tyndall not croaked in the month of July. This was a terrible shame as Tyndall was one of the more entertaining (not to mention incompetent) self-proclaimed neo-Nazi leaders.

Unite against Fascism and Yorkshire and Humber TUC called a counter demo outside the court.

As suggested in IndyMedia last month, Tarmac Northern Ltd have been able to persuade English Heritage that corporate profit is more important that Britain's heritage.
