London BPP Fash get slapped!

D | 25.04.2008 09:46 | Anti-racism | Workers' Movements | London

Militant Anti-fascists turned over the BPP Victoria meeting. According to the BPP report on Stormfront, 'a couple of people got a good kicking, but the most serious injuries were a broken ankle and a comrade who was taken to hospital after being kicked unconcious'. The message is clear: No Platform, No Pasaran!

The following article has been taken directly from a Stormfront (fascist website/forum) post about the event. It is the BPP's view of the day and this should be taken in consideration when reading the article. Therefore I apologise for the bad grammar. Please remember that the people who post on Stormfront have an extra finger and shrunken cranium:

"This post is to make people aware of the events of Saturday 19th April and the attack by Antifa on the BPP Victoria meeting and to prevent the same thing happening again to any Nationalist group. There is no denying this Antifa group had at their disposal up to 35 people and they were organised, disciplined, informed and very bold. There were several football matches being played in London on that day, a heavy police presence who were doing alot of stop and searches.

These scum can not be dismissed as a bunch of kids or a bunch of middle class UAF students, they were very tough, split into small groups, had spotters and were carrying stanley knifes and screwdrivers. The attack took place on the way from the RV point to the meeting place (they did not attack the meeting itself which was their aim), a couple of people got a good kicking, but the most serious injuries were a broken ankle and a comrade who was taken to hospital after being kicked unconcious. We were very lucky because previous experience shows the weapons they carry were not for show, they have and will use them. There is a strong possibility that they were present at two previous BPP/BM events, the aborted Holborn fundraiser concert for the BNP and the aborted Brick Lane paper sale. Please note both events were aborted because of a strong reaction by Antifa's allies in the Police force.

This is not the time for blame and their were no cowards at the BPP meeting on that day, but Nationalists must be aware of the red scums potential and any meetings must have a good security regime in order. Discussing with comrades today, I would recommend that Richard Barnbrook (who seems to come in for alot of bile on their sites) and Troy Southgate (a National Anarchist) with the New Right meetings must be on their guard.

Be aware, don't take chances and check out new comers who ring up and want to come to meetings, even if it means having 2 re-direction points"

Well done to the anti-fash! Ignore the comment from the Met, if it was really them they'd have dealt with you as they have many resources to harrass protestors rather than stopping real crimes.

in response to 'your actions are criminal'

I guess its pretty obvious that the comment puporting to be from the Metropolitan police is fake, but just to clarify a few errors, namley the offences. Carrying a weapon does not consitute the crimes listed, more likley 'going equipped' or something along those lines would be used. It is possible that GBH would be used, but the weapons are irrelevant, as GBH can be committed with bare hands. So, nice try, but at least research the law before posting here. That being said, it could well be the pigs, knowing their immaculate knowledge of the law!
Well done to Antifa - keep the slaps coming!

These nazis are lucky

25.04.2008 12:00

These nazis are lucky, these are the same kind of people who make jokes about & do cowardly murder people of colour, bisexual, anyone who doesn't follow their ideology if they get a whiff of power. They have only been tolerated because a minority of the "ruling classes" still finance & support them, funding them specifically in deprived white working class areas.

They hide behind freedom of speech & democracy that our brave grandparents fought for, I feel sorry for some of the decent coppers who they often hide behind. They have no honour, they are twisted,perverted. They murdered & abused millions of children systematically & forced good people like Einstein & Oppenheimer to use their knowledge to make bombs instead of explore the universe.
These nazis make allies with the worst fundamentalists around the world like Abu Hamza, Bologna train bombers etc.

They are a distraction whilst we should be able to concentrate on making safe the industrial military complex under the banking oil oligarchs warned by Orwell & Eisenhower. Kissinger,"Methodist!"Rockefeller,Brezezinski, act like the Politburo relying on badly designed technology that could soon obliterate or replace all of us literally with robots. Reliance on technology designed without proper testing & safety measures has gone too far.
The oligarchs are meeting up in Washington to try & again steal the American election as I type, though their power is nothing compared to cooperative people power& nature!

I heard that Richard Barnbrook's dad is bigger than Nick Griffin's. Can anyone confirm?

non violence protects power

25.04.2008 13:43

Personal freedom, if someone tells you they're a pacifist punch them in the face and then see how pacifist they are. The ruling ideology in this country of self righteous assertions such as 'it makes you just as bad as them'. I guess if Jews/Armenians etc. being systematically slaughtered started trying to organise to destroy the respective empires trying to exterminate them they'd have been 'just as bad'. 'decent coppers' or however it was put misses the point, no one has the right to have power over your life however 'decent' good or saintly they are, they're still fallible human beings (with out considering the nature of the peace and order they uphold) and you do not know when their judgement may err or their orders may change to the detriment of your freedom till it's too late. The utmost respect to those who acted on this occasion, everyone has a choice, they can respect everyone else's freedom or we'll take them out. In case you'd forgotten we are all mortal beings and our morality can not transcend that, it doesn't need to, we all need to wake up and stop getting beaten and locked up. What greater morality can there be than to command respect for all life?

well done comrades!

25.04.2008 13:56

oh what glorious work. This is the ONLY way to stop the fash bastards - tho not defying that a vigorous campaign or counter-propaganda in their target localities is necessary.
There is a time to talk - and a time for action.
Viva Antifa!

There is a well known activist in Sheffield with a acab tattoe on his forehead, his discovered his brother is a copper,apparently they get on but agree to disagree . The police are based on militias, but sadly at the moment they often work for major criminals.
Society does need some kind of professional security to deal with bastards who try & abuse people, but in the hands of the neighbourhood communities & peoples groups like the international brigades who were supported massively by the cooperative movement & exploited by Stalin.
There are alot "ex"afa activists who work as professional door staff part & full time & its necessary, many could have joined or were state special forces,marines etc.
Heres to all the true skins & antifash, keeping the peace
Lets cooperate & get our lads back from the middle east!!!

Big Up ANTIFA. While the coppers are out there protecting fascist thugs and their creators, you're out there ensuring they think twice before harming one of their many targets. Good Stuff.

Round of applause!

25.04.2008 15:38

well done to all those involved, reading stormfront over the last few days has provided me with many a laugh, those muppets can't even organise a "defence force" without squabbling amongst one another!

There should be no platform in britain or anywhere else for facists or nazi's, the price paid for giving these people a platform in the past can be seen in the massed graves of Auschwitz and the ruins of Guernica. Everywhere the likes of the bnp or bpp try and organise we should be there, black, white and asian, side by side, ensuring these bastards don't get given a moments peace or an opportunity to divide and split our communities.

They're the lackeys of big business and apologists for the poverty, alienation and degradation brought by contemporary capitalism and shouldnt be tolerated whether theyre dressed in celtic cross adorned bomber jackets or pin stripe suits.

No platform!
No retreat!

I'm confused

25.04.2008 16:03

If they hate the "red scum" so much, why are they running around calling each other "comrade"?

It's garuanteed to get you pegged as a member of the SWP.

Betar uber alles ?

25.04.2008 20:08

Genuine question considering the fact that "antifas" act apparently with total impunity and are way more fascists than the fascists themselves apparently.

Whatever you mean by "act apparently with total impunity", what does that have to do with anything! If not getting caught by the cops, or being otherwise effective, is something to slander, well just keep typing away to yourself and keep off the streets!

And what do you mean "way more fascist"!!!

> Fascism
> a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic
> controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent
> nationalism and racism.
> b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.

If fascists want to deny the right of certain people to exist, then stopping them in the streets having that power over others is not fascist, but merely allowing different people to be themselves, against the fascists.

No platform.

skunker than thou


...Their actions are immoral!

26.04.2008 10:03

Why do people treat legality as so much more important than morality? I understand some folk are scared of repercussions, but how ignorant do you have to be to assume everyone shares your POV?
Go antifa, thankyou very much for your hard work.
