This evening we held our meeting to get the Crawley & Horsham UAF established, and I am so glad it is out of the way. It seemed like a good idea at the time – to hold an open meeting and get some sort of body of officers elected/selected – but as it got closer […]

Unite Against Fascists

During the recent elections a number of people in Crawley and Horsham distributed leaflets to roughly 4000 homes, providing information about the BNP and their record when they have won elections. The results in Crawley were: Furnace Green BNP votes slightly down, despite an increased turnout, and their percentage reduced from 14% to 6%. Ifield […]
None of the above
May 5th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Politics
The local elections in Crawley saw an overwhelming landslide victory once again for the none-of-the-above party. I believe that where I was standing there was a turnout of something like 44%, but other places were much lower. In the past we have had turnouts getting close to 10% in some areas. Being involved in an […]

The other day I had confirmation of the date for our Crawley/Horsham UAF meeting. It will be in the Friary, Crawley – right next to the bus and railway stations – on May 23rd. I will be trying to do my best to promote it to see if we can get a decent crowd, but […]

A Crawley and Horsham UAF got a little bit closer to being established tonight at a meeting we had. As there is currently no proper organisation, everything is a bit chaotic so the main topic was how to use what resources we have to counter the BNP candidate sin 4 wards in Crawley and 2 […]

BNP in Crawley
April 9th, 2007 · 6 Comments · Politics
This year the fascist party is standing in 4 wards in Crawley (Southgate, Ifield, Furnace Green, and Tilgate) and 2 wards in Horsham (Denne, Roffey North). The same person is standing in both Denne and Tilgate. The BNP have not stood in Tilgate before, as far as I know. There are also a couple of […]

The uphill struggle to try and get the UAF established in Crawley continued last night at a hastily-convened meeting which was organised by someone from the local SWP/Respect party.
Solidarity?
February 22nd, 2007 · 4 Comments · Politics
I wanted to write something about this new BNP trade union, Solidarity – having seen it mentioned by Tom Watson, Mike Ion and others, but i was just too slow. It turns out that johninnit has said just about everything I could want to say about it already. He points out that anyone joining Solidarity […]

Scary phrase
February 16th, 2007 · 3 Comments · Politics
I came across a phrase the other day that stopped me dead in my tracks – and I can’t even remember where I saw it, or what exactly it related to. It went something like this… “Just because nobody is saying the unspeakable, doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking it” Whatever it was about it made […]
Lancaster UAF

The Lancaster UAF blog has moved onto a Blogspot server. It can now be found at http://lancasteruaf.blogspot.com/ and is always worth a read. One recent post on there is about Andrew Spence joining the BNP, a story which amused me when I saw it in the papers. It amused me because in the comments on […]
