Antifa has received some interesting photos of the BNP doing a bit of
international networking; these are from the Russian ultra-right's annual
big day out, when a couple of thousand neo-nazis and ultranationalists
march through Moscow on "National Unity Day" (November 5th).

BNP on holiday
As you can see, the event this year attracted a BNP delegation, keen to mix with the
rabid crowds and get a bit of stiff-arm saluting practice in (they don't
often get to do that here - not in public at least!).
For more info on the russian march and the company the BNP have been
keeping, try these mainstream media reports :

We are so used to the BNP squeezing into the ill-fitting suits and trying
to look like the respectable political party they desperately dream of
becoming - witness the ongoing London Assembly /Mayoral election campaign
- that it's almost refreshing to see them casting off their inhibitions on
their overseas jolly. (Of course, this march was prior to the BNP's
recent purges, and we don't know which faction the tourists would now
belong too; but we don't think it makes any difference).
On a more serious note, antifa would like these "holiday snaps" to remind
everyone who might be in doubt that, despite all the attempts the BNP
makes to rebrand itself, at heart it remains the same fascist shower it
always has been, and the need for militants to organise against it is as
keen as ever.
