BNP 'No Platformed' Again in Barnsley

Antifa | 02.12.2007 13:46 | Anti-racism | Sheffield

Yesterday, the British National Party were again prevented from spreading their racist filth in Barnsley.

Only weeks after Barnsley BNP had their stall smashed by antifascists, their
paper sale has again been targeted. On Saturday 1st December, as they were
assembling, the BNP were confronted and their racist literature taken away
from them, preventing a paper sale taking place. Judging from the way they
are now whining about it, we can only wonder how they'd sound if they got
the beating they richly deserve. They are also asking, 'Why Barnsley?' As if
this question should have to be asked. Barnsley has a proud antifascist
history, and it is sickening that the BNP are trying to establish a base in
the town, something which would have been unthinkable only a decade ago.
Around the country, the BNP are crawling out of their rat-holes and back
onto the streets to try and peddle their racist lies. They should be
confronted wherever and whenever they appear. No Pasaran!

Great to see militant anti-fascism on the rise again.

To many academic liberal tosspots around recently, by the way, I reckon they should be a bloody target too!

No Pasaran!

is obviously what you`d label me just because I beleive in the ideal of free speech. As I have said so often on this site,I do not beleive in what these people have to say,which includes all types of fascist,whether they be Nation of Islam,BNP,ect,ect.In my opinion a society without debate is in danger of becoming a dictatorship. Surely it is through debate and an understanding of where peoples point of view,however distorted,comes from. Steven,are you not as small minded as these people? Academia,knowledge is power,not violence

There's a difference between liberty and licence. Some of us have learned the lessons of history when it comes to letting fascists organise. I imagine, being white and almost certainly middle-class, you're not too worried about being spat at in the street Mr Smith, or having your windows put through by those who buy into the BNP's lies. Is it imagination you lack I wonder, basic human empathy, or simply intelligence?

your response outrlines exactly what I was trying to say! You expect me to be "most certainly middle-class",my friend you could be no further from the truth,I don`t profess to be super intelligent and as about learing lessons from history,it is my opinion that all heirachies to be treacherous and dictatorial. Follow what one is told or face the consequences with violence. Surely violence breeds violence. If I am attacked violently I will respond violently,thus violence breeding violence. As for name calling,this in my humble opinion displays a lack of empathy,human understanding and indeed,intellect. I have many friends and associates of colour whose opinions of these far right minority bigots is to simply ignore them or at the least debate with them over thier policies,which usually points out the fact that all of us on these islands in fact are immigrants somewhere along the line,mine being Romany. Sometimes the picture is not always black and white,excuse the pun. It is of my opinion and expirence that by banning and gagging opinions can only give more of a platform to an otherwise minority opinion that is usually ignored. I am a militant athesist,would that give me credence to violently attack church goers and street preachers?

So, you're not an accademic, as you imply in your original post, Mr Smith? You've misquoted me by the way, I said, "almost certainly middle-class." Not, "most certainly middle-class." And I did not call you any names. You're being disingenuous I feel. You say you have many friends and associates of colour, then why not let them speak here for themselves? But then these characters, your friends and associates, prefer to ignore racism or debate with the likes of the BNP. I'm sure I'm not alone in considering what you say to be nonsense. If you were an Asian shopkeeper in Armley you might have some understanding of what it means to encounter daily racial hatred. Since you are not, you might at least use your imagination and empathise with the victims of racism, something you seem unable, or unwilling, to do. Instead, you prefer to defend the BNP polluting our streets with their racist filth. That you do that from a suposedly liberal position does not make it any better. Evil only flourishes because good people choose to do nothing about it, and liberals like yourself were complicit in the rise of Hitler, and the subsequent murder of Millions of people, including thousands of Romany Gypsys. Fascism is a fundamentally violent ideology, whatever current mask Nick Griffin currently chooses to hide behind, and when his racist foot soldiers bring their racist hatred onto the streets once more, as they did in the past, they deserve to be confronted not ignored.

'Free Speech' - My arse!

2nd Anniversarry of mums brutal murder by Kirkby Notts"freeSpeech"BNPcandidate
Anarcho-syndicalist, trade unionalist | 05.12.2007 04:56 | Anti-racism | Free Spaces | Social Struggles | Nottinghamshire | Scotland

Rememberance & condolences to Christine West's family who was found at home by one of her children at Brookfield Avenue, Sutton-in-Ashfield on 19 November,2005. Christine suffered 37 stab wounds to her neck & abdomen after returning the eternity ring of Garry Marshall BNP candidate. The BNP a PC party for nazi bigots minorities get a platform from Oxford Union on free speech, not indymedia, who had equipment seized in the UK by the FBI for free journalism. But if bastions of the establishment courts nazis, should we be suprised?

Mum Christine murdered by Kirkby NottsBNP candidate



Garry Marshall now serving 17 years is a former miner who ran for the British National Party (BNP) in the 1995 Kirkby North by-election for Nottinghamshire County Council and lost,he had previously claimed he was elsewhere at the time of Christines murder.
 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/nottinghamshire/6128634.stm

In Brinsley, Nottinghamshire recently a Sri Lankan family was cleansed from the area by thugs throwing bricks through the families windows. They happened to live next door to Brinsleys BNP councillor Sadie Graham, was the PC "antiracist freedom of speech defending" lady involved?
does 2+2=4?

Add this to the nazi BNPs others councillors & we have a bunch of convicted murderers,thugs, thieves& fraudsters running for a "legitimate party" defending freedom of speech backed up by members convicted of possesing the largest haul of bombmaking equipment in UK history.
Monty Python & George Orwell take a backseat when you look Griffin, before his PC makeover Nick described himself as a true nazi brownshirt,he was successfully convicted of racial incitement. he is a denier of the holocaust in which children were tortured,experimented on & sexually abused, managing to beat their invasion of Poland Stalinist allies into number one top slot for crimes against humanity.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talbot_Street_bomb-making_haul .

Apparently the BNP & their stormfront web backers are now saying old One Ball Adolf actually loved his jewish ancestors, children, animals & was pioneer of free speech & racial rights for minorities.
BNP Stormfront writers liken people of Britain to sheep, the majority of us aren't, this anarchist hopes the majority vote tactically to stop the BNP,spoil ballots or vote green party tactically if possible.
Anarchism as originated by Proudhon is "true democratic governance by & for the people".Lets use ballots as well as action to help us get there & if necessary lets use bullets to defend true democracy.

"In Brinsley, Nottinghamshire recently a Sri Lankan family was cleansed from the area by thugs throwing bricks through the families windows. They happened to live next door to Brinsleys BNP councillor Sadie Graham"

Obviously these poor people were not 'friends and associates' of Winston Smith above, otherwise they'd have just ignored the attack or invited their attackers in for a chat! What utter bollocks you talk 'Smith'. THIS is the reality of the BNP.
