Sadie Grahams house raided by police

Hix | 02.01.2008 16:59

We hear that just before xmas, the house of Sadie Graham and her boyfriend Matt Single was raided by a large number of police. The couple, recently expelled from the BNP for plotting against Nick Griffin (allegedly!) had their house in Church Lane, Brinsley, near Nottingham turned over by police - looking for weapons.

It seems that Single (ex BNP security team) rather than Graham was the real target of the raid (Graham must have hidden her rifle somewhere else! See www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/nottinghamshire/2007/04/368703.html).

Question : Why would anyone be surprised that prominent fascists - whose political strategy depends upon trying to look like any other political party whilst secretly encouraging racist violence - are interested in, and probably possess, weaponry?

Fall & Decline of Griffins empire?

02.01.2008 22:17

The blog of Sadies fiance who used to run BNP Red white & blue festi security & says that with the timing he reckons Griffin got the police sent after Griffins bodygaurd Martin Reynolds gang had raided Sadies house for the BNP laptops . Looking at the blog & timing I'd have to say I agree it looks like Griffin got the police around, when antifasicists or memmbers of public complain the police often dont do much unless they get the complaints from a large number of people.
When checking the BNP website, Griffin claims that Sadie & others are nazis connected to the old blood & honour network whereas that is all behind him. Strange as Sadie Graham the expelled BNP councillors "real BNP" blogs before going down seemed to be saying that they had split because they were against the nazism of Griffins entourage like Collet sho recently praised Hitler with Seig Heils etc.
The BNP site claims to be britians most popular political site,ha I doubt it get the hits indy has or the the green party or anarchist sites have especially as they only seem to have one site for the national when ours have a site for almost every city.

"Question : Why would anyone be surprised that prominent fascists - whose political strategy depends upon trying to look like any other political party whilst secretly encouraging racist violence - are interested in, and probably possess, weaponry?"

It's a fair point if we're BNP-bashing.

But the obvious extension here is, "why would anyone be surprised that the above question can be equally asked of the Labour or Conservative parties here in the UK?"

Single confirms - check his blog!

03.01.2008 21:10

The blog of the rebels kicked out of the BNP confirms that this raid took place - see  http://enoughisenoughnick.blogspot.com/

Scroll down the posts till you get to "Griffin's Political Coffin Nails" on "Older Posts". There, Matt Single describes his distress in his own words - poor dear! (Imagine how an "assisted repatriation" feels, you tosser.)

There's a much more recent update on the raids too, with the revelation that Single's house in Essex was also raided.

This blog is a fascinating read in general to watch the twists and turns of the internal power struggle for the BNP (that's the trouble with far-right parties - everyone wants to be the fuhrer!)

F.P.C.

"(that's the trouble with far-right parties - everyone wants to be the fuhrer!)"

fair point, but that's not too dissimilar from other mainstream parties. the whole political system in this country needs a fucking overhaul. The BNP are a symptom of a sick system as much as they are racists fuckups themselves.
