Interview with Nick Margerrison Kerrang Radio

I was interviewed on Kerrang radio last night to discuss chasing off Nazi Nick and his cronies last Tuesday at College Green. This was a great opportunity to raise awareness to more young listeners of the rise of the Nazi BNP and what we can do stop them. Nick's show has 1.5 million listeners, so this will hopefully have encouraged more people to join UAF and get involved in their area.

You can listen to the show on http://www.whatson.com/kerrang/, and go to "The Night Before" on the Sunday section. Its about 30 minutes into the show.

CHUCK A CHAPATTI TIME!

A BIZARRE campaign has been launched offering cash to those who bombard BNP nasty Nick Griffin with ETHNIC food.

The far-right chief had to abort his Euro MP success speech outside Parliament this week when he was pelted with eggs by political opponents. Now a website is offering a £200 reward to those that dare to chuck a chow mein, fling a fajita, launch a lamb tikka or hit him with a volley of vindaloo.

A spokesman for the site – www.bragster.com – said: “He will be out and about a lot in the coming days, so now is the time to strike. “Let’s show him just how much fun international diversity can be.”

The dare, which must be supported by video or photo proof, came as Griffin showed signs of cracking under the political strain yesterday by clutching a box of eggs. It was supposed to be a dig at the protesters who targeted him.

Instead of raising a chuckle, the 50-year old was once again hit by a deafening barrage of chants including “Nick Griffin Is Fascist Scum” and “Nazi Scum Off Our Streets”.

Griffin was throwing a press conference after winning a North-West seat to become a Euro MP for the BNP. He was barred from staging the conference at Manchester Town Hall, so he picked the nearby Ace of Diamonds pub, run by Derek Adams, who stood unsuccessfully to become a BNP councillor.

Union flags were strewn around the bar room as police kept around 50 protesters waving Unite Against Fascism banners at bay. Sipping half a pint of bitter, Griffin tore into all the mainstream political parties and said: “I think it’s very sad to see that hostile mob.

"They are allowed to register a protest but should not be allowed to get away with this level of violence and abuse on the streets of Britain.”

Griffin was one of two BNP candidates elected as an MEP last weekend. Andrew Brons, 61, won the other for Yorkshire and Humber. Griffin won his seat despite his party polling only 8% of the North-West vote.

CHASING OFF NAZI NICK

I was one of the people that went at the last minute to College Green, triumphantly chasing off Nick Griffin and his fascist cronies from the press conference that he attempted to set up. It was a great achievement to catch Griffin in the middle of spouting his lies to the press. Seeing his terrified, egg-covered face as he ran away was satisfying to say the least!

This was a great achievement - Not only because we managed to chase him off that day, but also due to the amount of media coverage achieved. Having Martin Smith and Weyman Bennett on the news exposing the BNP's fascist views has already inspired people all over the country to get involved.

This is not the end by any stretch of the imagination. The BNP's election in Yorkshire and the North West has given them more airtime, more money to spread their propaganda, and more connections with other fascist parties already at large in Europe.

Nick Griffin will also now be under a lot pressure from the more militant members of his group to start to march on the streets. We need to be there in the largest numbers possible to make sure that we show them that these are OUR streets, and this country does not tolerate racism of any kind.

This is why we need you to sign up to UAF today and get involved in the fight. Unity is the key to stop these Nazi scumbags and show that they don't represent us.

Black and White. Unite and fight. Smash the BNP.

UAF reaction to Euro election results: We must confront the fascist British National Party

DEMONSTRATE: anti-Nazi protests called for TODAY: Liverpool, 5.30pm, Town Hall; Manchester, 5.30pm, Piccadilly Gardens; Sheffield, 5pm, Town Hall; Preston, 6pm, Flag Market

Last night saw the fascist British National Party (BNP) gain its first two seats in the European parliament. BNP candidate Andrew Brons, a former stalwart of the National Front and a lifelong Nazi, narrowly took the final MEP place in the Yorkshire & the Humber region. The fascists polled 120,139 votes, representing 9.8% of the vote as compared to 8.0% in 2004.

BNP leader Nick Griffin took the final MEP place in North West England in the early hours of today. Griffin, who has a criminal conviction for incitement to racial hatred, polled 132,094 across the region, or 8.0% of the vote as compared to 6.4% in 2004.

Peter Hain MP, secretary of state for Wales, said:

"It is a shameful stain on Britain that we now have racists and fascists representing our country. It is vital that everyone now isolates and confronts the BNP and works with Unite Against Fascism to defeat them."

Ken Livingstone, chair of Unite Against Fascism, said:

"The economic crisis and abuse of MPs' expenses have provided fertile ground for the extreme right. It is no surprise in these circumstances to see an electoral breakthrough for the BNP, a fascist party, in Britain.

"The BNP claims to be a normal political party. In fact they are 21st century Nazis. As in the 1930s they exploit people's anxieties in an economic crisis to scapegoat minorities and ultimately threaten all our democratic freedoms.

"Wherever the BNP wins elections, racist attacks increase. Nobody should use the BNP result as an excuse to capitulate to racism. That is exactly the approach which has helped them get this far and it would help to get them further.

"Unite Against Fascism is committed to the broadest progressive alliance against the BNP -- linking all democrats, trade unions, minority communities and the great majority of society against every kind of racism and fascism."

Weyman Bennett, joint secretary of Unite Against Fascism, said:

"This is a turning point in British politics. It is the most significant electoral success to date for a fascist party in this country. It threatens to normalise the presence of the BNP on the political scene in a similar manner to Jean-Marie Le Pen's Front National in France.

"We cannot allow this to happen. It is vital that we mobilise the largest possible mass movement across every walk of life to stop the fascist BNP and drive them out of the political mainstream.

"We have done this before when working people rose up in unity to defeat Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. We did it in the 1970s when the Anti Nazi League drove the National Front of the streets. Now it is our duty to inflict the same defeat on the British National Party."

URGENT: your vote can stop the BNP from gaining seats in tomorrow's election

There is a serious danger that the fascist BNP will gain seats in the European elections tomorrow if people don't turn out and vote against them. Your vote can make the difference between the BNP winning and losing.

The time to act is now – make sure you vote against the BNP, and make sure all your friends, colleagues and family understand how important it is for them to get out and vote.

Love Music Hate Racism Festival in Stoke

Over 20,000 people attended the LMHR festival last weekend in Stoke, the North London crew were out in force to unite with people from around the country, who are determined the fascist BNP must be stopped.

The atmosphere was electric, with live music from Kelly Rowland, Pete Doherty, Reverend and the Makers, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Kano and Beverley Knight to name but a few. The inspriational event sent a clear message to the BNP throughout the country - you do not speak for us and you never will. There are loads of photos of the event on www.lovemusichateracism.com, and there are a few of our own below.
