BNP Member Attacked with Hammer

[Loyalist]

A British National Party (BNP) member was attacked with a hammer when protesters arrived at a campaign event in Greater Manchester.

Violence broke out as 30 people surrounded a BNP vehicle outside the Ellesmere Pub in St Helens Road in Leigh on Friday evening.

Tony Ward, 48, was hit with a hammer and later treated in hospital.

A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm, Greater Manchester Police said.

Officers arrived at the pub to discover the BNP's trailer had been overturned, said a police spokesman

A traffic diversion was put in place on St Helen's Road, while the trailer was removed and the road was closed. It has since reopened.

One witness told BBC News: "They had hammers and they smacked the vehicle to pieces, smashed all the windows and tore off the bumper, completely decimated it.

"I was shocked at what I saw." (Continues)

And then they (liberals and the rainbow coalition) call the BNP a "hate" mob. Bizarre. :rolleyes:

This can only be good news, what would have been a small gathering that few outside the BNP knew about has now gotten national attention, and for all the right reasons. I notice that the BBC doesn't condemn the actions, but at least it isn't condoning them either.

Reminds me of a debate at Oxford some years ago which would have feathered Griffin (am I remembering correctly?) where the protesters were scaling fences and running riot in an effort to get it shut down.

Ironic seeing how intolerant these "liberals" behave towards views which don't match their own. They are the real haters and supremacists. Conservative people generally just want to be left in peace and not manipulated and bullied into a system and society which is alien to them.

I just made a donation to the party funds, as I received an email from the BNP saying that this had happened. So, hey, what do we do? Keep going.


The ultra-successful Battle for Britain Road show hit Wigan last night raising an amazing £2,200 for the Euro election fund despite a violent attack on BNP members elsewhere in the area by Labour-Party supporting thugs and police harassment which saw three venues threatened into closing.

The evening itself went off without a hitch thanks to the superior organisational ability of the road show team. The standing room only crowd of well over one hundred people were treated to speeches, a film, re-enactors and a sound and light show which left not a dry eye in the house.

Earlier, the Labour Party Stasi, also known as the Greater Manchester Police, sent officers to no less than three venues the BNP had lined up to host the road show. In an act which was completely illegal, and which will be the subject of court action, the Stasi told the venue owners that if they dared host the road show, the police would withdraw their licences.

This blatant interference in the democratic process by the police was witnessed in person by a member of the road show crew, and the BNP leadership will be pursuing these criminal actions by the police in the courts. As BNP leader Nick Griffin told the crowd last night: “It is the job of police to stop burglars, not to prevent political parties from holding meetings.

“When we win seats in the European Parliament and are part of the ruling body of the Northwest, we are going to make sure that the police understand this very clearly. We pay their salaries, and they are our servants, not that of Gordon Brown and his Labour Party organised and supported communist thugs,” Mr Griffin said to wild applause.

Earlier, the famous Liverpool BNP A-frame trailer and Land Rover was attacked by a group of around 30 Labour Party supporting thugs at one of the alternative venues. The Land Rover had every window and light smashed out, and every panel of the vehicle dented.

The A-frame itself was overturned and the skins damaged. When the BNP members got out of the vehicle to defend themselves, they were violently attacked by the racially mixed group of Labour Party thugs. Liverpool activist Tony Ward was stuck twice by a claw hammer wielded by a black thug. He was hit once in the eye and once on the head.

Mr Ward was knocked unconscious and picked up by fellow BNP activist Andrew Tierney, who dragged him to safety. Mr Ward was later removed by a third BNP man in his vehicle.

The A-frame was righted, and the BNP men left the scene. During this violent assault, the police were nowhere to be seen — they were far too busy visiting the next venue where they thought the BNP was holding the road show so they could intimidate that owner as well.

Mr Ward received eleven stitches later in hospital.

“If the Labour Party thinks they can break us with their street thugs, they are wrong,” Mr Ward told BNP News. “We are back, stronger than ever before, and we will not stop until we have rescued this country from the immigration invasion and Islamification nightmare to which the Tories and Labour have subjected us.”

"The left wing" are playing the general British voter right into the very hands they are trying so desperately to warn them about.

These sort of vicious and downright thuggish, fascist attacks are equal to the methods used by uncivilised persons in other countries which instil such resolve in British minds to not ever emulate or become.

Well done the attackers! You have become your own worst enemy.
