BNP blocked in Bath

A determined group of Anti-fascists upheld the principle of “No Platform” in Bath yesterday.


The Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution had invited the BNP to a European election hustings.

The green and labour candidates (followed in the end by most of the rest of the pack) had refused to share a platform with Nazis .

A lively anti fascist demo took place outside

A few of the anti fascist protesters started blocking the entrance to the venue asking people not to enter.

At approx 7pm a few fine examples of the master race (aka the BNP) tried to get into the building at which point the “door blockers” numbers were swelled by anti fascists of various political hues (mainly anarchists, but also socialists and greens) and 3 lines of people were formed to prevent the BNP from entering.

The BNP thugs unsuccessfully tried to force their way in, then appealed to the cops to do their dirty work, then ended up hiding behind appeals to democracy and their “right” to free speech.

This was shown up in comic fashion when Roly-poly-goaty-beardy-fascist, responded to a door blocker's shout of “the only good Nazi is a dead one!” with a pitiful whine to the cops of “he's threatening to kill me” before a response from another door blocker pointing out that the moron had just publicly outed himself as a “Nazi” wiped the smile of face.

A stand off ensued for approx an hour and a half before Bath police forcefully removed the non-violent door blockers and escorted the Nazis into the, virtually empty, building.

I know that the mainstream media portray the BNP as racist/facist all the time but i am yet to witness this for myself from any of there stuff i have viewed on the web. To be honest, they come accross as the most patriotic of the parties along with UKIP. People need to start waking up to the totalitarian society we now find ourselves in, before it gets even worse. The other parties would have our sovereign state destroyed forever and allow the lisbon treaty to be forced upon us. Have you read it? Do you know that its a dictatorship with a police state? Do you know that the EU can now abolish westminster in may 2010? Please see eutruth.org.uk and print of literature to distribute before we have no chance of stopping this. This current government is hardly democratic! Its support of common purpose is making sure things are how they choose, not us. Please see stopcp.com or cpexposed.com and start waking people up.

Further to the above comment, The lisbon treaty which is 10,000 pages long, contains, in a footnote, of a footnote, of a footnote, the details of the reintroduction of the death penalty for rising up against the eu (just google lisbon treaty death penalty) and imagine what awaits you at the next G20 summit.

Despite what you can currently read in the conservative media about the Bath anti-Nazi demo, I can confirm that at least one BNP thug was arrested on the night for assault. Apparently he shoved a middle-aged demonstrator to the ground and has been bailed to appear at Bath police station next week. Pity the media didn't do their job right and report the facts in the first place. This is why the local newspaper is known as The Chronic....

Er, no...Griffin has the look of a greasy Hitlerian git who's the son of a stupid rightwing Tory millionaire who was so pissed off at never getting anywhere within his party, he took himself and his spotty little social misfit of a son to a National Front meeting. Said spotty, greasy little squit decided he'd like to be Fuehrer of England one day, and here we are. Sadly, the best he could do was lead a bunch of stupid, deluded wsocial misfits like himself. This allowed them to get elected in the North with a pitiful voting turnout and zero active opposition from the Labour party.

Great achievement. Not.
