Just back from the UAF National Conference in Manchester, people from across the country packed into Manchester's Central Hall to discuss UAF strategy in the wake of the European election reuslts.
There was a vibrant debate about the no platform policy and what it actually means in concrete terms, given their inevtiable increase in visibility in the media, we may need to revaluate this positon to ensure that the anti fascist does end up no platforming itself - for now we will continue to fight for no platform.
The conclusion of the conference was that the fight against the BNP needs to intensify, and grow rapidly uniting as many different trade unions, community groups, acitvists, youth organisations, politicans, students and anyone else who wants to stand up to the fascist BNP.
The most important thing in the UAF calendar is mobilising in Codnor, Derbyshire on Saturday 15 August, 9am to stop the BNP holding a fascist 'victory' rally which is dubbed the Red, white and blue festival. See the blogpost below for details of coaches to Derby and feel free to email if you want to get involved.
The fight against fascism is entering a new serious phase and it is essential that there is no complacency. See you at Codnor!
