		<description>Perhaps you should just refrain from being such a scumbag.  The BNP will never have any power, just a small following of poor misguided fools, still clinging on to their medievel beliefs.

You all fail at life, stop making yourselves look like idiots.</description>

		<description>If multiculturalism is so great come and live in any inner city borough then tell me the BNP are not right. It is more than apparent that those who are most opposed to the BNP have no idea what the consequences of multiculturalism really are. If you think it is so wonderful then live in Peckham and send your kids to the local comprehensive. They will love the vibrancy and diversity they get. Don&#039;t preach multiculturalism from your gated suburban white communities!

		<description>Let me try to clarify a few points here. The endorsements of the Searchlight initiated Hope Not Hate campaign are simply one part of an overall strategy. 

When Griffin shifted the whole direction of the BNP away from street centred activities the anti fascist movement had to do the same. The old ANL was past its sell by date with lollypops and shouting &quot;nazi scum off our streets&quot; when of course the nazis weren&#039;t on the streets any more, certainly not in terms of marching.

A long hard pook was taken at what to do and several strands were identified. The first was to ditch the old tedious traditional anti fascist leaflets which no one ever actually read. 

was also recognised that what happening in Lancashire was different to what was going on in Barking and Dagenham. The old top down type of organisation based in London couldn&#039;t respond to the way that Griffin and the modernisers had reshaped their movement and it was recognised that there had to a local response.

From about twenty groups across the country there are now in the region of sixty and they can all be seen on the Hope Not Hate site. Similarly the literature was redesigned so that people would actually read it. The centrepiece of the new design was an eight page tabloid with articles, competitions and a sports page with what the England team would look like in a BNP britain with all the black players removed.

These papers were also tailored for different parts of the country. We have distributed 50 000 issues of a special Hackney edition which was written by the local campaign and this has been replicated all over the country.

The use of celebraties is only a part of the campaign and there have been days of action in places like Dagenham were the wards of the do nothing councillors have been mass leafleted.

The last of the leaflets and papers will go out today and then everything is in the lap of the gods and we wen&#039;t know until Sunday when all of the results are announced at once. If we can hold them from even one seat then next year a lot of their council seats come up for reelection and we will be throwing everything at them in outer East London where sixteen of their seats are.</description>

		<description>To those wanting criticism of the BNP based on their performance - I&#039;ve had a stab basing things on Richard Barnbrook&#039;s woeful GLA antics to date at &lt;a href=&quot;http://5cc.blogspot.com/2009/06/why-you-shouldnt-vote-for-bnp-on.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Why you shouldn&#039;t vote for the BNP on Thursday&lt;/a&gt;.

I hope you like it.  I don&#039;t normally plug myself not nor nuffing.  Honest, guv.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What is effective is relating to what affects or interests people in their every day lives. Apparently Searchlight’s most succesful leaflet was the England football team one which showed what an England team without its ethnic (mainly black) players would look like.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yeah, I thought of one with pictures of Kelly Holmes, Lenny Henry, Leona Lewis and the cast of Goodness Gracious Me with the words:-  Not White Enough for the UK under the BNP.  (Needs updating for a younger generation I should think.)

However, I&#039;ve thought anyone who votes for the BNP is either an incurable racist or so grossly thick and ignorant that they couldn&#039;t read the leaflet or would know who these people are.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’d like to see the BNP starved of the oxygen of oxygen but in the meantime starving them of publicity would do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hehe. Reminds me of Nick Griffin&#039;s recent statement that he was withdrawing from attending the garden party at Buckingham Palace &quot;because he didn&#039;t want to embarass the Queen&quot;.

My immediate reaction was: &quot;The fact that you&#039;re in this country and have a heartbeat is an embarassment to the Queen, you psychopathic racist idiot&quot;.</description>

		<description>The BNP is the anti-Labour party and all these stunts do is drive people who may have good reason to hate the government further into the hands of fascists by making them appear credible.

		<description>Sunny - you need to sort out whoever does the advertising on your front page.

Currently running with:

&lt;i&gt;How I Lightened My Skin With Nur76&lt;/i&gt;

Not exactly appropriate for a progressive website, no?

Especially after you&#039;ve (rightly) been highlighting newspapers who take the BNP&#039;s filthy lucre.</description>

Fair enough.

Apathy is indeed a blight on us all.

So, whatever you are doing to get out the anti BNP vote is OK with me. Power to your elbow, or summat!</description>
