Thread Name: BS: Anti BNP Protests - Luton
Subject: RE: BS: Anti BNP Protest, Codnor, 15 August
I don't know whether this is just a bit of media hype, but I've found the following statement on AOL news:

"A three-day BNP festival is set to close after a major police operation to ensure a demonstration against the event passed off peacefully." The full story is at

http://news.aol.co.uk/protest-and-scuffles-at-bnp-event/article/2009081510431813948004

I can only say that it was a magnificent demonstration, that it left the good people of Codnor in no doubt over our feelings about fascism, and that a few minor incidents apart, it passed off peacefully.

Hopefully, if the BNP don't close their hate fest voluntarily then the local council will find some way of doing it for them. Otherwise, it will be a case of same time same place next year.
