Nazi punks fuck off!
Before demolition, Tierney saw himself as Che Guevara
Posting on his YouTube channel three days before council elections in which the BNP were standing several candidates locally, Tierney told viewers that he had "fought hard" to maintain the "cultural identity" of Liverpool, but had become "disillusioned" with the "LibLabCon" of mainstream politics. "The tsunami's coming", he declared, "and it's called BNP".
Many of Tierney's former backers will not doubt react with disgust and disbelief when they discover who his new pals are. But despicable though it is, there's a definite political logic to his decision. After all, he's certainly not the first small business owner who's turned to fascism. Historically it has been the Pete Tierneys of this world that have bankrolled fascist movements, hoping for protection against big business. However, when fascists get into power, they inevitably turn against their former backers, as they struggle to run a capitalist economy in crisis.
The Labour, Liberal Democrat and Conservative big business parties have each played a big part in Quiggins' demise. It was the Lib Dem council who drew up the Bluecoat Triangle Plan as part of their successful Capital Of Culture bid. This meant that the Quiggins market in School Lane would have to be demolished, to make way for the Liverpool One project of Tory aristocrat the Duke of Westminster. In May 2004, the Labour government backed this proposal, and Quiggins closed its doors on 1st July 2006. Since then, Tierney has been looking for a permanent city centre site, and sought the lease on the former John Lewis store on Church Street. Unfortunately for him, the ever-expanding Rapid Hardware beat him to this piece of property.
The 2008 Capital Of Culture award has tightened the grip of big capital on Liverpool. Small business has felt itself increasingly marginalised. However - as this revelation demonstrates - working people cannot defend small business without playing into the hands of the most reactionary interests. Our culture is not something that can be bought from a shop, no matter how 'alternative' that shop seems to be. It has to be created in opposition to the profit system.

The great "British" Nonce-worshipping party all true British people hate,
Led by Colonel Gaddaffi's mate who enjoyed tea&hobnobs at oxford with Abu Hamza,
Mr Nicholas Griffin the apple of his Tory councillor daddies eye,
How dare they hide behind the british flag!
How dare they hide behind freedom of speech!,
How dare they hide behind democracy our grandparents fought for!,
Even the dregs of Mordor wouldn't murder kids,
Hitler said he wanted peace, that he loved children,
just like Stalin & President Truman who nuked Japan after war was won,
But even Stalin &Rockefellers boys didn't systematically murder children,
Griffin & Collets God Mr Hitler won the prize for worst pervert of them all,
They pretend to have changed, but we know their game,
They pretend to be honest, don.t make us laugh,
If they really cared about Britian they would change their evil ways or kill themselves
