Oh, the irony.

Having said that, violence of any sort is completely inappropriate.

No that's not on...That's just yobby and vigilante behaviour...No I've no time for their viewpoints and politics but hitting someone with a hammer is NOT a political debate...:mad:

Wigan Battle for Britain Road Show Raises £2,200 Despite Labour Party Thug Violence and Police Harassment

wigan-battle-for-britainThe ultra-successful Battle for Britain road show hit Wigan last night raising an amazing £2,200 for the Euro election fund despite a violent attack on BNP members elsewhere in the area by Labour-Party supporting thugs and police harassment which saw three venues threatened into closing.

The evening itself went off without a hitch thanks to the superior organisational ability of the road show team. The standing room only crowd of well over one hundred people were treated to speeches, a film, re-enactors and a sound and light show which left not a dry eye in the house.

Earlier, the Labour Party Stasi, also known as the Greater Manchester Police, sent officers to no less than three venues the BNP had lined up to host the road show. In an act which was completely illegal, and which will be the subject of court action, the Stasi told the venue owners that if they dared host the road show, the police would withdraw their licences.

This blatant interference in the democratic process by the police was witnessed in person by a member of the road show crew, and the BNP leadership will be pursuing these criminal actions by the police in the courts. As BNP leader Nick Griffin told the crowd last night: “It is the job of police to stop burglars, not to prevent political parties from holding meetings.

“When we win seats in the European Parliament and are part of the ruling body of the Northwest, we are going to make sure that the police understand this very clearly. We pay their salaries, and they are our servants, not that of Gordon Brown and his Labour Party organised and supported communist thugs,” Mr Griffin said to wild applause.

Earlier, the famous Liverpool BNP A-frame trailer and Land Rover was attacked by a group of around 30 Labour Party supporting thugs at one of the alternative venues. The Land Rover had every window and light smashed out, and every panel of the vehicle dented.

When the BNP members got out of the vehicle to defend themselves, they were violently attacked by the racially mixed group of Labour Party thugs. Liverpool activist Tony Ward was stuck twice by a claw hammer wielded by a black thug. He was hit once in the eye and once on the head.

Mr Ward was knocked unconscious and picked up by fellow BNP activist Andrew Tierney, who dragged him to safety. Mr Ward was later removed by a third BNP man in his vehicle.

The A-frame was righted, and the BNP men left the scene. During this violent assault, the police were nowhere to be seen — they were far too busy visiting the next venue where they thought the BNP was holding the road show so they could intimidate that owner as well.

Mr Ward received eleven stitches later in hospital.

“If the Labour Party thinks they can break us with their street thugs, they are wrong,” Mr Ward told BNP News. “We are back, stronger than ever before, and we will not stop until we have rescued this country from the immigration invasion and Islamification nightmare to which the Tories and Labour have subjected us.”

Great phraseology - "the Labour Party Stasi, also known as the Greater Manchester Police" and "the famous Liverpool BNP A-frame trailer".

I think both statements are equally accurate.....;)

Re: politics aint what it used to be
 

Obviously entirely trustworthy then. Debate and BNP don't exactly go together, either - their usual mode of operation is to try and disrupt democracy in order to prove that democracy isn't working.

Re: politics aint what it used to be
 

Blimey even the BNP can be halfway polite about ethnic minorities in a complaint..

Re: politics aint what it used to be
 

:clap::clap:

Re: politics aint what it used to be
 

I`m not a supporter of the BNP But why did the police want to stop the Roadshow when Muslims can do what they want and hold Anti British protests, rallies, threaten to kill us all etc, etc with no intervention?:confused:

Re: politics aint what it used to be
 

probably depends on the police force and how tollerent they are to demonstrators
also most muslim demonstrations tend to be pr-organised with the local police wereas the bnp just turn up

Re: politics aint what it used to be
 

So what happened to the sickle then?

Re: politics aint what it used to be
 

its only alleged that the police wanted to stop it --i mean stasi in abeyance of there commi masters. its probably 90% bull

Re: politics aint what it used to be
 

Meaning?:confused: Sorry mate, i don`t understand what you mean.

Re: politics aint what it used to be
 

It was an attempt at satire. I hope a few people got it at least.

Hammer. Sickle. Communism. BNP. Anti-fascism. Redwatch. Labour Party.
