Subject: RE: BS: Anti BNP Protest, Codnor, 15 August
Of course I could be clearer myself...

UAF has a policy of attacking the BNP with facts and information but principally by way of massed demonstration and non-violent direct-action (like egging Nazi Nick or just following him everywhere with the placards and the factsheets).

Hope not Hate's tactic is based on getting the facts and information out by way of media domination and community-based education actions like the "not in my name" campaign which encourages a broader range of people to sign up for anti-fascism, joining a number of famous people, principally from the world of Music and the arts. It's a rerun, and very effective, of Stop the War Coalition's "not in my name" campaign against the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Social/Political campaigning has always needed both sort of groups and I'm proud to give my money to both of these.

Look through the news and other pages of UAF and HnH and you'll see a united front of cooperation in campaigns and ojbectives. Exactly as it should be.
