No Borders campaigns are playing into the hands of the far right / BNP



No Borders and the Calais campaign activists are prioritising the rights of people who don't live here, while people who do live here, of many different backgrounds, are struggling.

If these activists were people who had created strong communities where they live, people who looked after their neighbours instead of regarding them as racists, people who had stopped bad housing, cheap labour and all the rest, then maybe supporting migrants in calais and elsewhere might make sense. But they have not, so all this meaningless support, and pride of place on the IndymediaUK features column, just plays into the hands of the BNP.

If you/we have no power where you/we live and work how the hell do you think you/we can help those who are also powerless?
