Please note: this is not an anti-Islam event, nor a BNP-organised demo. It's for people who believe in free speech to come out and be counted. Surely Indymedia believes in free spech, right?

You have freedom of expression so why not use it?

I found it interesting that on the blog there is a section dealing with the contradiction of organising a 'freedom of expression march' (with full consent and co-operation with the state apparatus set up to deny our rights relating to freedom of expression), while at the same time setting out restrictions on freedom of expression for those bringing banners or placards...
"If on the day we feel that any banners do incite hatred, our stewards will ask for them to be removed and, in the case of a refusal, we will ask the police to intervene. We are not prepared under any circumstances to allow this to be hijacked by hate-mongers."
Freedom of expression - who gets to be the judge?

Third Way are a splinter from the old National Front. They claim to be 'non-racist' but also say they stand for 'Indiginous (sic) Christians', and their leaders remain White Supremacists.
And the Freedom Association - while not Fascist in the BNP/NF/Third Way sense - were strong supporters of the Hard Right within Margaret Thatcher's old-style Tory Party - anti-immigration and pro-death penalty as well as strongly pro-capitalism and anti-trade union.
