Letter to SNP and Labour candidates

As I explained in a recent blog post, I decided to write to Osama Saeed and Anas Sarwar, to encourage them to take a stand against the BNP’s freedom to stir up racial hatred. Below is the text of an emailed letter I sent to anas@sarwar4glasgow.com and blog@osamasaeed.org Dear fellow candidate, First of all, allow [...]

UKIP – more nutter than you think.

UKIP are the most successful minor party in British electoral history. Despite having no MP’s, no official backing from any major newspaper, and only 70 councillors UKIP were able to beat the Lib Dems and come third in 2004′s European Elections. Last year they went further, coming second and beating the governing Labour Party. Today [...]

BNP: they're not singing any more

Two days ago, the Scottish section of the BNP put a statement up on their website, ‘exposing’ an ‘anti-BNP Scotland group’ which has pledged to ‘destroy the party in Scotland’. Who could this mysterious organisation be – whose actions the BNP admit have lost them ‘thousands’ of votes? Unite Against Fascism? Antifa? The Thunderbirds? Not [...]

Joint anti-fascist meeting this Saturday.

Regular readers of this site will know of two attempts by the so-called “Scottish Defence League” to march in Glasgow in Edinburgh to demonstrate against Muslims in this country.

Anti-SDL meeting in Edinburgh.

Earlier fears of the SDL marching on [...]

Stop. GriffinTime.

Special Guest Post Exclusive by Honorary SSY Member Jo Harvie…. So it’s the morning after Griffin got on Question Time. The Guardian and Independent have slammed the oxygen feed to the fascists, the Star has called him a nuttaaaah, and every single telly programme and radio phone-in, from GMTV to This Morning has discussed the [...]

Nick Griffin to appear on Mock The Week.

The Mock The Week team. Just out of shot, death camps. Well, not exactly. BNP head honcho has been invited on to Question Time. It’s not unsurprising – the BNP got 6% of the vote, almost a million voters backing them and 2 MEP’s to the European Parliament. It was the first time a fascist [...]

Griffin In Stay-At-Home Shocker!

It has today been revealed that recently elected British National Party MEP Nick Griffin has run into difficulties with taking his seat in the European Parliament. The British National Party, known for “not being racist, honest”, had two of its members elected in the recent European elections. Andrew Brons, elected in the Yorkshire and Humber [...]
