George Galloway Declares War on BNP
MP Galloway spoke at the Eton Community Centre for the official launch of Respect Against Racism In Barking & Dagenham today, pulling no punches in his stated goal to rid the borough of ‘jack-booted Holocaust deniers.’
Galloway told the assembled crowd of around 100:
“White working class people who are angry about their position in life have transferred that onto black people and other minorities.
“Once upon a time they had good wages, good quality council housing, and good public services.
“But now there’s a huge housing problem in Barking and Dagenham, with too many people living in run-down council houses, and thousands on the waiting list.
“When that happens and suddenly a number of foreigners appear on the same street, the consequences are not surprising.
“But we mustn’t blame those who are taken in by the jack-booted Holocaust deniers with their Hitler packs under their covers at night. We must win them over.”
The Tower Hamlets MP cited the success of his party in the East London borough, saying: “Ten years ago, the BNP had a councillor in Tower Hamlets, now it’s a no-go zone for them.
“Respect is here in Barking and Dagenham because we feel there’s no way the core Labour vote is going to stop the rise of the BNP - we have to fill that gap.”

I have been to many B.N.P. meetings and never once have I seen any jack boots or heard anyone discussing the holocaust, no racist remarks just serious decent discussion that all the British working class are talking about today and how this parliament is destroying the Britain we love.
Let George Galloway rant and rave all he wants, what he cant say that we are traitors like him and his parliamentary colleagues.

Don’t be such a stooge. The BNP is, and is proud of being, a racist organization. Its very constitution states that it is “committed to stemming and reversing the tide of non-white immigration and to restoring, by legal changes, negotiation and consent the overwhelmingly white makeup of the British population that existed in Britain prior to 1948″ and advocates the repeal of all anti-discrimination legislation, and restricts party membership to “Indigenous Caucasians.”
According to the BNP Election manifesto of 2005, the BNP believes that racism is a part of human nature and therefore describes its supporters as “realists”.
The violent, openly neo-Nazi group Combat 18 was formed in 1992 (although not originally under this name), to act as stewards for BNP rallies.
the BNP’s 1995 national rally was addressed by Dr. William Pierce, the then head of the US National Alliance. Pierce wrote The Turner Diaries, which allegedly inspired Timothy McVeigh to carry out his Oklahoma city bombing, killing 168 people. The American Friends of the BNP, a party offshoot headed by Mark Cotterill, was still having extensive contacts with the much more extreme National Alliance as recently as 2003, as documented at length by Nick Ryan in his book Homeland: Into A World of Hate.
The BNP and its supporters are little more than fascist thugs and reactionaries. All Fascists are traitors, and none are welcome here.
