Oh joy

Griffin and his travelling fundraising circus will be performing with the Battle of Britain road show this Friday March 20th at the Broadclyst Village (Victory) Hall, about 10km northeast of Exeter on the B3181. They used the same venue when Griffin visited Exeter last year http://www.thisisexeter.co.uk/news/Residents-left-furio....html

The hall's trustees seem to think that because the BNP is a political party they have no reason to bar them.

If you wish to speak to somebody at the hall, politely please, you can reach them on 01392 461528

Whilst I HATE the BNP don't you think that people have a right to express their opinions? Those of us who like to think of ourselves as being open-minded people who support free speech cannot then turn around and completely ban someone just because their views are different to ours. Of course there are issues of people who don't necessarily understand what the BNP are like becoming 'indoctrinated' through talks like this, but at the end of the day the same happens with groups, parties or societies that we are a part of. Though of course it's perfectly all right for people to protest outside the building and try to save the poor souls who are entering it!

The BNP are not the Conservative Party. The 'oath of allegiance' that they still require all their new members to take commits them to supporting the forced repatriation of all non-Nordic and Aryan people out of Britain. And by 'force' they mean 'force'.

The BNP are a fascist party. Fasicst parties the world over have the same ideology: divide a society into Them and Us, and then use Them as the scapegoat for all life's problems, until the rest of Us hate Them enough to not care if they are disappeared, butchered, or sold for human experimentation.

That is why the BNP is opposed and should always be opposed, with whatever tactics are effective, violent and non-violent. Not for what they are at the moment, but for what they would like to be given half the chance.

From Moseley's fasicsts being so thuggish it made even the Daily Mail blush, to the NF 'policing' black areas in the 70's, to the BNP deliberately provoking a race riot in Lozels in 2005 (then melting away to let the police take the heat). Violence is a part of Fascist ideology, a respect for free speech is certainly not.

I see your point, but the BNP are a fascist organisation; in the sense that they would, upon taking power remove democracy and remove free speech. Thus to defend what we have, we have to stop those who would take it away.

Fascism is used as an insurance against the threat of a united working class.
It is another way of running capitalism and protecting it. Crude,effetive but bad news
for us. Therefore it goes without saying that fascism must be beaten down at every
opportunity by our class.
