Hope Not Hate have set up a page at action.hopenothate.org.uk/eventsnearme so you can find events near you campaigning against the BNP in advance of the Euro and council elections. There seems to be a real chance that the BNP will gain their first MEP at the forthcoming Euro elections because of the proportional system. It’s [...]

Further to my last post on the BNP claiming Jesus’ vote, Searchlight are running a petition on their Hope Not Hate website: The BNP are preparing a high profile billboard campaign claiming that Jesus Christ would support their policies of racism and hate were He on earth today. Statements like these – designed to cause [...]

The BNP think it would be them; they’re running a billboard campaign suggesting that Jesus would vote for the BNP. That’s Jesus Christ – believed by Christians to be the Prince of Peace (Isiaah 9:6) – being used by the BNP – that’s the racist, Nazi, Holocaust-denying, criminal British National Party. I’m guessing this is [...]

The Thunderdragon doesn’t care who is a BNP member; I’d like to explain why TD should. TD says, in short, that the BNP is a legitimate political party and membership of a party should, therefore, not impact on what job you can have. I think this is patent rubbish; some jobs have to take account [...]

I’m not going to go over it in fine detail, although I recommend the posts and comments at Pickled Politics, Liberal Conspiracy and these two at the Wardman Wire. The second one deals with legal implications for blogs; look, listen and take heed. I commented on the subject at PP, and it pretty much sums [...]

Do you remember, a little while ago, that the Hackney Gazette and its owner, Archant, caused some unfortunate publicity for themselves when they agreed to run an ad from the BNP in the run-up to the Mayoral election? No? LabourHome: Archant takes BNP cash Liberal Conspiracy: It didn’t bother Sunny Hackney Councillor Luke Akehurst: shock [...]

Sunny Hundal asks a couple of interesting questions over at Pickled Politics; should a no-platform policy with regards to the BNP be continued and should that it be extended to groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir? By way of a background, I understand a no-platform policy (in the instance of the BNP) to mean that no-one from [...]

Mayor Johnson The headline news is, of course, the victory of Boris Johnson. It is no secret (at least if you’ve been reading this blog!) that I was and remain a strong supporter of Ken Livingstone and that I have very grave doubts about the Johnson mayoralty. I have tried to draw a comparison between [...]

On May 1, Londoners will choose the Mayor and London Assembly for the next four years. In 2004, low turnout in the London elections allowed the BNP to receive 4.9% of the London Assembly vote — dangerously close to the 5% threshold required to win a seat. You can register to vote using the information [...]

The Oxford Union is a private debating society; only members can attend its proceedings. Its appeal for speakers is in being able to influence some of the top minds in the UK and the world and, of course, being recognised as worthy of such an opportunity. It does not matter a hoot whether people outside [...]
