I was in liverpool, a really piss poor turn out again, herd lots of discontented whispers , what's going on with all this infighting?, we have to chuck out the idiotic twofaced arrogant rabble who are causing this.
Big thanks to everyone who did turn up against the nazi scum, especially steve and joan, will see you soon.
All trouble seems from ketlon and not see him at liverpool, he must go.
Another platform for the B Nazi P scum, from Idiot Ketlon Osowski at Lancaster Unity, hasn't anyone taught him how to write, he's made the UAF anti fascists sound like a bunch of football BNP thugs, Below is part of what he wrote, its unbelievably stupid, making the BNP sound like victims.
Dealing with violent protests which broke out during a controversial BNP Red, White and Blue festival cost Derbyshire police a quarter of a million pounds. During the event, anti-BNP protesters clashed with police, leaving residents trapped inside their homes, the police are deploying resources to protect the local community and combat potential crime at this event, masked anti-BNP activists fought hand-to-hand with riot officers on the first day of the festival, pelting them with stones. The violence happened when protesters tried to barricade a road leading to the festival. Police armed with batons moved in to quell the demonstrators, making 34 arrests. All those arrested remain on police bail.
Simon Darby, BNP spokesman, said protesters should pay towards the police’s costs for the event. He said: "None of the arrests were from the BNP party. I think that says it all. "
