Stop the Peddlers of Hate

The following has been received from Searchlight:

"Searchlight is calling on the authorities to prosecute the BNP for its Racism Cuts Both Ways campaign. We believe that the BNP’s 12-page glossy magazine, which is being circulated around the country, and the accompanying website are a clear attempt to whip up racism through lies and selective reporting.

The BNP campaign claims to highlight examples of anti-white racism. We believe that the only racism that is taking place is being peddled by the BNP.

In an introduction to the website devoted to this campaign, BNP leader Nick Griffin calls it the “silent epidemic of racist targeting of indigenous Britons”. To back up his claims the BNP has released the names of 167 people who it claims are victims of anti-white racism.

However the BNP’s research is at best inaccurate, at worst bogus. Click here to read Searchlight’s analysis of the BNP research.

The BNP has twisted facts to make them fit its warped racist agenda. It doesn’t care that it causes distress and anger to the families. The BNP hopes to make young people in particular angry and vengeful. It hopes to get people to join the BNP but it could just as easily be unleashing racist violence.

The BNP campaign is quite simply dangerous and the party should be held to account. It is time for the authorities to act.

Searchlight will be writing to the authorities demanding action and we need your support."

Searchlight will be writing to the Home Secretary and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police demanding action be taken against the BNP, and needs our support.

To demonstrate the strength of feeling about the BNP's incitement, Searchlight's petition can be signed by clicking here.

Searchlight are also urging us to contact our own Assistant Chief Constable. Click here to access a model letter (Word file) (PDF file) Click here find your local police authority. If you have received the pamphlet, we are encouraged to include in the letter details of how and where you received it and, if relevant, your reaction to it and to the fact that you received it. Such details will strengthen your complaint. You may also wish to send a copy of your letter to your local Police Commander and MP.

Spread the word. The more people who complain the greater the chance that the authorities will take it seriously. The BNP must not be allowed to get away with whipping up racism through its lies. Please click here to tell five friends about this campaign.
