A Message from UAF

A message to you all from the North West Regional Organiser for Unite Against Fascism.

The Fleetwood and Wyre UAF coordinator would also like to add their own thanks to all of you who took part in the demo in Cleveleys. Well done everyone!!!

Please also see below regarding a protest outside the BBC studios, and if you haven’t already, please consider joining UAF with the form found here.

Thanks

"Dear All, I'd Just like to say a huge well done, and thank you, to all of you for your part in the hugely successful demo against the Fascist BNP in Cleveleys the other night.

We clearly showed the Nazis that they are not welcome and that anti-fascists are the majority.

Their behaviour towards black and Asian members of the public is a clear example of their real racist politics, and something which we will be highlighting in our campaign to expose the Fascists.

See Fleetwood Today
here for a full report.

Thanks to all from Unite Against Fascism; Blackpool, Flyde & Wyre Trades Council; FBU; members of UNISON, USDAW, UCU; Labour Party members, Councillors; members of the local community and local youth; and everyone else who was there to join the protest.

Unite Against Fascism would encourage everyone from the protest to join UAF so that we can continue to build as strong an anti-fascist movement as possible to beat the BNP in the future. We are also asking people to come to the national protest against BNP Leader Nick Griffin when he tries to appear on Question Time on 22nd October."

The BBC has invited Nick Griffin, leader of the fascist BNP and a man with a criminal conviction for denying Hitler ’s Holocaust, onto its flagship Question Time programme on Thursday 22 October in London. The BBC says the BNP should be treated as if it were a democratic party. But there is nothing democratic about the BNP. It is a racist and fascist organisation dedicated to kicking every single black and Asian person out of this country.

Griffin himself wrote: “When the crunch comes power is the product of force and will, not of rational debate.” He isn’t interested in impressing people with his arguments — he wants to back up the BNP’s slogans with “well-directed boots and fists”.

The BBC has chosen to roll out the red carpet to racists and fascists. More airtime for the BNP will lead to more racist attacks on the streets.

If you’re disgusted, come along to the demonstration outside Question Time. Please bring family, friends and banners welcome.
