Peter Tierney and Merseyside BNP head to court yet again...

Liverpool Antifascists | 09.12.2009 14:31 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | Liverpool

Today, Merseyside BNP "super-activist" Peter Tierney was up at the Crown Court to enter a plea on charges of assault. In response, Liverpool Antifascists turned up to distribute leaflets informing the public of exactly who Merseyside BNP has in its ranks.



Overall, the response to the leaflets from the public was a positive one and several hundred were distributed. (Click on the image to the left to download a PDF version.) The only negative response antifascists received was from people who picked up on the word "BNP" and instantly became wary, only letting their guard down once they realised that the leafleters were opposed to the fascists, not for them. Such a reaction from those mistakenly believing that antifascists actually support the BNP is a common one, and betrays the depth of feeling against the party amongst the ordinary, working class people of Liverpool.

As a counterpoint, the fascists were out in force today, with Steve Greenhalgh, and Clive Jefferson amongst those most familiar to the BNP amongst the swarm of suited "activists" waiting to enter the court. And of course there was Andrew Tierney, who was happy to mingle with the gaggle of tracksuited boneheads brought in to make laughable attempts at intimidating the "reds."

For as long as antifascists were there, Andrew continued to film them. There were also shouts and attempts at goading from him and his fellow goons as time drew on. Perhaps due to the proximity of the crown court, the police (better known for protecting the BNP rather than persecuting them) actually responded to complaints about the filming.

Particularly ironic was the moment when one police officer threatened to charge Steve Greenhalgh with a breach of section 5 of the Public Order Act for swearing at him. It was this same breach that one of our own activists was found guilty of when Tierney's accusations of assault and criminal damage were thrown out as untenable nonsense. For Merseyside BNP this amounted to a "serious public order offence," though we imagine it will quickly become "police persecution" now that Greenhalgh is on the receiving end.

Having delivered their leaflets and accomplished what they needed to, antifascists then left the scene – and the boneheads – behind. They will, however, be returning when Tierney faces trial and he is finally forced to face the truth of his actions back in April.

Fashionable Fascism - Quiggins Attique

10.12.2009 17:05


Sue Kendrick of Quiggins Attique, the stylish and fashionable wing of Tierney's Quiggins empire, is doing her utmost to make Liverpool BNP fashionable.

 http://www.quiggins.com

Since leaving the city centre of Liverpool, Sue has helped expand the Tierney's empire to new markets. Quiggins Attique sells outfits, decor and stylish English antiques to sports and media celebrities, famous fashion columnists, and the world of glitz and glamour, and has recently been featured on ITV's decor makeover programme "House Gift" presented by Laurence Llewelyn Bowen who was reportedly "taken with Quiggins" (obviously not knowing about the family's violent racism), while filming, and has become a firm fan of the series.

http//www.myspace.com/quiggins_attique

Described as "Burlesque meets Baroque", this quirky bohemian treasure is the flavour of the month with the rich and the famous, and supplies lots of people who if they knew the connection between this business and the fascist thug on trial, would refuse to shop there, so it essential that celebrities such as Laurence Llewelyn Bowen know the score.

Using her company's MySpace rather than a personal blog, however, racist bigot Sue has very unprofessionally "tied her colours" firmly to the mast, supporting Peter (Quigley) Tierney's paranoid racist video which Muslim people are taking over Britain with a supportive comment (see the avove picture, and check out the following link: -

 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=257177269&blogId=485728576

Quiggins Attique must thus be boycotted and shunned by all sectors of the comunity along with the rest of the company's assetts.

Their address: Quiggins Attique Ltd, 325 AIGBURTH RD,Liverpool L17 0BL,(not far from Lark Lane/Sefton Park).

This doesn't surprise me.

Capitalism has no social conscience, and in Hitler's Germany, the famous and the fashionable chose to shop at boutiques owned by the leading Nazi Party members, just like that Laurence Bowen guy's doing now.

Is it true that Lee Tierney is Liverpool's EDL organiser?
