UPDATE - Fascist meeting cancelled

15.07.2008 22:37

Pressure from anti-fascist campaigners has resulted in the cancellation of the BNP's meeting in Southey, Sheffield. The fact that the BNP are unable to find a venue in the area willing to host their meeting confirms that the vast majority of people reject their vile race-hate politics. This is a great victory for the campaign to keep Sheffield a BNP free zone. Thank you to those people who contacted the venue to protest against the meeting and who helped arrange the protest (which has now been called off) at such short notice. The next challenge for anti-fascists is to prevent the BNP from winning a seat at the European parliamentary elections in June 2009. Please contact Sheffield UAF to get involved.

Not a Victory..

The fucking left and there delusions is staggering, one reason there is rise in the vote for the far right is the left capacity not to tell the whole truth.

No this not a Victory, the only true Victory is the utter anilation of this scum from the streets of Sheffield, not forcing them to hide or to cancel there meetings, the working class have gained nothing from this, but the far right have gained a lot in free publicity and looking like there victims of some kind, and you know what will happen here the working class will no doubt side with the far right more all you have done dear lefty is had another propaganda victory to the far right i hope you feel just in your actions, if you want to smash this vile scum then check out antifa.org.

Yes, it is a fucking victory

Yes, the only true victory will be driving these twats off the streets altogether, but forcing them to hide and cancel their meetings stops them being able to organise and grow, and so it's a step towards that victory. We have enough failures to whine about, we should be able to acknowledge it when we do succeed.

Smash the fash

What's so special about the BNP?

Quite rightly people are calling the BNP a bunch of vile fascists. Why isn't anyone disrupting the activities of New Labour and the Conservatives? After all they're vile fascists too.

let them get on with it

let them get on with it, get caught out seig heiling, attacking each other and whetaver the fuck else they do and all under the media lense.

alternatively, give them the masssive PR coup of being able to say a bunch of reds stopped britains celebrating their flag and culture.

(that said, all well and good if they get kicked to fuck as they make way to the event and whatever but an organised protest/demo is just a load of self-defeating bollocks and only plays into their hands)

Bastards got away with it in the end

http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/BNP-meet-goes-ahead.4297170.jp - apparently they got away with it in a different venue somewhere. And most of the comments on that story seem to be from BNP wankers.

It did happen..

The meeting went ahead!! Well, what a surprise - you'd almost imagine that the BNP always planned for it to be cancelled at Southey, creating an opportunity for them to cry 'police state', and then go ahead with it in the venue they always planned to use anyway.

According to one local who did attend (despite detesting the BNP) there were only actually about 60 people there, at least 20 of whom were from outside of Sheffield

"And most of the comments on that story seem to be from BNP wankers."

What some class struggle anarchist disagree with you and we are now BNP wankers, we do suspect one of the 2 That the BNP always planned for it to be cancelled at Southey, creating an opportunity for them to cry 'police state', or that the meeting was a spoof for the same reasons, and for them to gain publicity.

Yes there meeting did happen we can inform you, some of was on the streets and we spoke to people according to one local who did attend (despite detesting the BNP) there were only actually about 60 people there, at least 20 of whom were from outside of Sheffield..

Now we need to organise on the streets, of course there is no vote the disaffected working class can vote for we know this, this is why we need to encourage them not to vote and understand the nature of there occupation under The Middle Class, then perhaps instead of fighting each other, our class pick up the gun and knives and turn it the real enemy of class and make them The Middle Class History..
