I don’t think tonight could have gone any better if I had actually planned it. We held our proper AGM for a local branch of the UAF and despite my appalling organisational cock-ups recently and some unfortunate timetable clashes there was a reasonable turnout – certainly enough for a valid meeting.

How did I fail to mention this earlier? The local branch of the UAF, covering Crawley, Horsham, Redhill and surrounding areas is having its first AGM on Tuesday evening. It is at St John’s church hall in Crawley town centre, and everyone is welcome. Having helped a bit in getting to this stage, I am […]

UAF – Crawley and Horsham and beyond

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 […]

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 […]

AGM tactical blunder

This evening I forgot one of the fundamental golden rules of attending AGMs – I got carried away and volunteered for something and now find myself on the committee of the Crawley Campaign Agaist Racism. The CCAR is a venerable organisation, now in its 31st year. Many of the firebrands who started it up are […]

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?

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 […]
