Anti-fascist group removes BNP wreath

[Beorn]

CAMPAIGNERS from Pendle United Against Fascism have been condemned as extremists after removing a BNP wreath from the war memorial site in Nelson.

The annual Holocaust Memorial Day was held on Wednesday at the new Memorial Square outside Nelson Library as a Vigil for Peace.
But members from Pendle United Against Fascism caused uproar when they removed a wreath left by the British National Party.
Richard MacSween, of PUAF, said: "The BNP have left a wreath and we have removed it because we don't approve of fascism."

The group said they were "outraged" by the political party's gesture to lay down a wreath, and said they were going to actively campaign against them.

But Coun. George Adam, from the Nelson and District branch of the Royal British Legion, said: "I'm annoyed - they have no right to remove that wreath. The BNP is a legitimate political party and they have a right to put down a memorial wreath just as any other members of the public do."
He continued: "The PUAF have done that without any explanation, so who is the fascist?"

Coun. Brian Parker, of the BNP, condemned the group's actions, saying: "It is disgusting and it's theft.
"Coun. Adam Grant was the one who laid the wreath and he himself has been in the Army. We have had trouble with this extreme group before and anybody who approves their views is deliberately planning to make the British a minority. Our group is all for parliamentary democracy."
Coun. Adam said: "Doing things like this just incites problems."

Nelson police said they were looking into the matter.

Isn't it refreshing to hear the BNP being spoken of as the aggrieved for once.

I'm actually quite shocked at that. Whats the betting it was asians who stole it?

I saw some UAF recruiting yesterday, I made sure to say "hypocrits" as loud as I could as I walked by them They were all old white hippies by the look of them, and all communists.

The UAF make me sick, it's the old 'We believe in Free Speech but....' argument, which means they don't believe in Free Speech at all unless it corresponds with their narrow minded, liberal hypocrisy.

Seems, to me, historically 'tis the left(ists) that produce the "facsists"...

Maybe wrong... spontaneous remark!!

The UAF will stop at nothing to have a go at the BNP.
Maybe they should concentrate on the muslims and there vile ways

Naturally………they were formed in 2003 for that specific purpose.

Unless you think the UAF really are interested in stopping fascism? Fair does many of the UAF probably are dumb reds who have overdosed on Marx and seriously think this is a “workers united” movement fighting “fascism” given some of the quotes made by them one would have to conclude they are either ideologically dim or astute users of Orwellian double talk, my money is more on the former….but the bods running UAF know the value of the later….

Their sole purpose is to disrupt the BNP by any means possible, legal or otherwise. They are funded by the trade unions (who also bankroll the Labour Party) and the SWP.

Politics isn’t just played out in offices you know, the streets and the boot are just as relevant as ever….

Antifa = Fascists, usually with Zionist, Homo and Feminazi overtones.
Like the saying goes, anti-fascism is the new fascism.
