Stop the BNP, meeting tonight
This year the British National Party may get their best election results ever in the European Parliament election, which could lead them to winning a seat in the South East.Brighton and Hove’s Unite Against Fascism (UAF) group and Love, Music, Hate, Racism are having an organising meeting to plan what action can be taken to avoid the fascist party gaining more power.
The meeting is open to anybody that wants to help plan things such as stalls and leaflets that can be used to make people aware of the racist and homophobic views held by the BNP.
The UAF said:
“We call, as a matter of greatest urgency, for the broadcast unity against the alarming rise in racism and fascism in Britain today.” They said the BNP now has 54 councillors in Britain and they are trying to make themselves look like a respectable party, but are trying to get votes based on racist, homophobic and Anti-Semitic ideas.
According to the Facebook group, ‘Vote to stop the racist BNP in 2009’, the BNP said the following in their 1997 Manifesto: “We promise to bring back legislation forbidding homosexual acts- thus driving these revolting practices back into the closet where they belong.”
The meeting will be held tonight, Tuesday March 31, 7.30pm, at the Friends Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton.
