PROTEST at British National Party Public Meeting in Oldham

Thursday 31st July
Meet @ 5p.m. Civic Centre Car Park, Rochdale Road

Sorry for the short notice. We have just learned that the BNP are holding a public meeting in Oldham tonight (Thursday 31 July) at 6.00p.m.at the Higginshaw Rugby Club, St Stephen Street, Shaw, Oldham. Protesters will be meeting at 5.00 p.m. at the Civic Centre Car Park on Rochdale Rd to go together to protest at the Rugby Club. If anyone can bring trade union or campaign banners, they will be especially welcome. Through united campaigning, we have done really well to stop the BNP winning any council seats in Oldham. Now we need to keep up the anti racist and anti fascist presence.

Phone in protests to the Higginshaw Rugby Club:

The phone number is 0161 626 2009.

Please pass this on to anyone who might be interested.

MR gerk i take then you support the BNP ?
Please take your anti swp comments to the proper threads not this one
The anl is more than just a swp front the steering commite of the scottish anl
contains john macallion (leading labour left person)amar anwar (leading human rights lawyer and defending assylum seekers etc ) .
Are you the gerry francis former swp regional organiser who was replaced?
Yes lets ignore the bnp while racist attacks mount up and the gain more power in the north of england it a lot safer and easier to attack the swp.
You are bitter

gerk I may disagree with you, but quite simply I dont post as other people, whats the point of that?


So I think a little apology is in order.

Re; 'shaid'

31.07.2003 13:26

Dear 'shaid' no the posting but under my name that implies support for the BNP was in fact posted by a SWP member called 'Sonic' who obviously thinks fascism is something to joke about..

As to whether i am the bigoted, sexist, homophobic sacked full timer Ger Francis

Lets just say that as Jung explored each persons crimes psychologicaly cohere, as Karma says the sum of our deeds influence the next life..with each passing smear, with each lie, with each sexist and homophobic comment, with each attempt to physically square up to dissent I have Become. Already Ger's actions have resulted in Me: i know his history I know his life and each day will bring Me nearer to him: a Revolution in the True sense A Home Coming

the swp in scotland

31.07.2003 13:39

There is a swp in scotland they are part of the IST group which is a platform of the scottish socialist party similar to the cwi,rcn.ism .The ssp is made up of these groups and socialists who are not members of any group ,And yes there is some sectarianism from groups and fallouts but the ssp moves on bacause all belive that the movement is bigger
more important than bickering.

...you are all sad gits, the lot of you.

Especially the troll at the top who thinks it's cool to impersonate people and discedit them.

Get a life all of you. And why not focus on what the actual item says?

Stewart is Right

31.07.2003 13:52

There are platforms, but we dont get all stroppy with each other (well most of the time!)

It was difficult to start working together at first, and there will always be debate about the way forward, but we all agree that we are SSP members first and foremost.

Are you aware of the similarities between your "name" and the "germany calling" callsign used by another nazi puke bucket, Lord Haw Haw?

Just wondering...

hmm

Now why would BNP supporters post up messages all over the place telling us the Anti Nazi League are a useless joke? If the ANL really was useless/counterproductive, wouldn't they keep quiet about it, or even encourage us to join? Their continuous hysterical denunciations of suggest a different conclusion..

hand in glove

01.08.2003 22:52

At a time when the BNP/brit narzi party are trying to clean up their image, to appear more palatable and liberal to appeal to wider sections of increasing labour defectors and guillible british voting public.

Yes the BNP/white narzi party are intrinsically fascists, who hide their love, adoration and loyalty to Adolf hitler, narzi aryan principles and social hierarchial order beneath the cloak of respectable neo conservative new labour pseudo brit nationalism/patriotism.

New labour and new BNP narzis go hand in glove. New labour's zenophobic anti foreigner asylum seeker rhetoric, is the match which lit the BNP's fire. The BNP just jumped on the new labour/old national socialist/tory bandwagon. During New labour/old national socialist's term of government, nazis and the BNP are more visible, more prominent and in increasingly deprived areas more socially acceptable.As the gap between the rich and the poor increases, nazis are there to deflect the blame from government social and economic failures/ills on to imaginary hordes of foreign invaders and asylum seekers.

spar wid me


um Gerk?

05.08.2003 12:17

You say 'Please Don't Use Other People's Names' which is fair comment..

But, um, aren't you using someone else's name, ie. this bloke Ger Francis?
