Manchester Evening News has BNP rattled
It’s great to see that the Manchester Evening News has exposed the BNP with a series of campaigning articles that have so rattled the fascists they are asking seeking the support of the newspaper’s advertisers.
The MEN reveals that Britiain’s Nazi party is surprisingly reluctant to discuss race and has piled on the pressure with populist pieces of its own. On his ambition to deport Amir Khan, the British born and bred Olympic boxer, BNP leader Nick Griffin is reported to have said: ‘Perhaps we will lose one good boxer but there are more important things.’
A past supporter of a no-platform policy for fascists, quoting BNP figures doesn’t come easy to me. We can only find truth through rigorous debate if all sides are honest: there is no room for those who claim the Holocaust was ‘Allied wartime propaganda’.
But the climate has been changed by irresponsible news outlets. Express Newspapers, as usual following a trend set by the Daily Mail, got so carried away with racist propaganda the NUJ had to step in.
Constant lies, taken at face value by less media literate readers, have filtered into the national consciousness. The oxygen of this publicity has breathed life into an otherwise moribund fascist movement… but any success the BNP enjoys at next week’s European Elections will instead be blamed on our, admittedly corrupt, MPs.
