Received today from Liverpool Antifascists:

It would seem that the Freepost Against Fascism campaign has been successful. From the BNP website:

"Please be aware that our FREEPOST address is no longer operational due to sustained abuse and illegal activity from our political opponents. This matter is currently under police investigation and until further notice we would request that you use the following postal address instead" etc. etc.

No doubt the police investigation will fail to materialise, unlike the slew of desperate, begging letters from Gri££in!

RESULT! Thanks to our friends everwhere for spreading the word, taking part and making this happen.

…has revealed some very interesting information. We would imagine that, right now, 193 people across the greater BS postcode area are not very happy with the British National Party's security measures. While we accept that there may be a handful of inaccuracies in a list containing just under 13,000 names and addresses (and we would encourage anyone who's seen it to double-check and confirm the info themselves), the party hierarchy have conceded that it's essentially correct. According to the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks, their own staff have independently verified the list too.

For the record, Bristol Antifa has no interest in the legality or otherwise of the BNP. Nor do we care whether the State permits or prohibits such fascist groups. But we do think that we, the working class, have every right to stand up to and act against fascist politics and sympathisers in our communities and workplaces. We don't want nazis for neighbours, we don't want to work alongside racists and we don't want our kids to be taught by bigots.

We know that the BNP has managed to hide its true colours from many of the working class people who may have voted for or got involved with the party in recent times. Part of our role as working class activists is to expose the real nature of fascism and ensure that our class is not fooled by such deception. We are working hard on challenging and demolishing the fascists' lies.

But equally, as a part of the working class (rather than, like the leadership of the BNP, apart from it) we will not shirk from taking whatever action is neccessary to confront, disrupt and destroy fascist organisations wherever they are found.

We know that fascism doesn't start with the gas chambers, that's where it ends, and we will not allow history to repeat itself.

Antifa England have again organised the annual Cable Street anniversary benefit gig. Last year's event was a massive success, with hundreds of anti-fascists gathering to celebrate the victorious stand made by our forebearers in the face of the fascist threat. This year promises to be an equally joyous affair and features a top line-up of acts (see below), united together for the anti-fascist cause. Great music, great company and great beer guarantees a great night out.

We'll see you there!
