    On November 2nd, Nick Griffin and Mark Collett from the fascist British National Party (BNP) will be going to court on race hate charges. There will be fascists there supporting them. Come to Leeds for the counter demonstration to stop them!

    On November 5th, the BNP are going to have a rally in racially charged Keighley. Come to keighley on november 5th and kick them out of town!

    I shall be there! Time for some Anti Fascist Action perhaps?

    This is a peaceful, positive response to show our rejection of the fascist BNP and their politics of hatred and fear, but to make it successful we need YOU to join us! Come in your lunch hour, come for the whole day, come alone or with friends and colleagues, but make sure you’re there. http://www.uaf.org.uk/
    Hmmm do they really expect us to control our selves while a Nazi walks into a court room; I fucking hope not!!!

    I don&#39;t know if you live near Leeds, but perhaps you can PM me if you are interested in coming to some organising meetings against the BNP

    The anti-fascist demo in Keighley is now probably cancelled. This is due to UAF&#39;s call on the police to ban the demo being successful. They now no longer want to march in counter protest.

    The BNP will still be going to Keighley leafletting, so hundreds of fascists will be terrorising the population and there&#39;s nothing we can do about it&#33;

    Well that&#39;s the problem. As UAF have cancelled, it could now be pretty dangerous to go. I don&#39;t think I will be going now, however Nov 2nd is still going ahead.

    Why can we do nothing about it? This would be a much more better position from an anti-fascist point of view.

    If the demonstration is solid strong, then my presence will be there. To go alone is a dangerous risk to take.

    Now is that not typical of the crappy reformism and pandering to the liberal middle classes that the SWP (sorry, I mean UAF) do.

    Yup, for the SWP/UAF, it&#39;s fuck your principles and fuck real anti-fascism.

    Just recruit as many people as you can, no matter what their ideology, heck even homphobic/fascistic Islamic fundamentalists will do *cough* Respect *cough*.

    And I really do fail to see what letting a few white doves will do, besides making a few bird droppings on the pavement.

    Direct Action and smashing the fascists/nazis is the ONLY way.

    If that approach puts off some uptight liberal middle class reformist, so fucking what, anti fascism is a struggle, not a popularity contest.

    Like the the anti-war movement and the anti-capitalist/Mayday movement, the SWP seem hellbent on destroying a progressive cause for their own twisted ends and their shallow attempts to just up membership figures for their party or their front groups.
