The BNP and the Northern Green Gathering

AntiBNP | 21.08.2006 23:54 | Anti-racism

What happens when Nazi scum meet hippy scum? Apparently some of them got on famously.

While some of those attending this year's Northern Green Gathering may well have attended ignorant of the fact that the organisers of the NGG had booked the same farm as the BNP have used for the past 4 years ( http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/08/346768.html?c=all) others were certainly aware of the situation - and didn't care. The organisers have kept resolutely 'schtum', and Indymedia has already been treated to reports of senior fascists wandering round the NGG site, not only unmolested, but apparently being made very welcome.

One report ( http://www.hebdenbridgenews.com/) reads as follows:

"It was a bit of a washout really, but the mud wasn't too bad, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Earlier in the week there were one or two stragglers from the BNP rally that had taken place the previous weekend. Apparently they were "actually quite nice" and "brought us flowers" said one cafe owner. S'pose hippie festivals are a mainly white affair so I guess they would be quite nice."

Other reports and comments can be found on the other thread.

This is a shameful episode. Never trust a hippy!
