I am not in favour of any violence for any political objectives, nor do I think it will benefit the community to single out a few individuals in the area who are members of the party.
The petition/campaign that I linked to - http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/notinmyname - is organised by Searchlight, which has spoken out against violence in opposing the BNP - see article. This is why I feel it is useful to support a campaign that is carefully and responsibly organised by people who have a long history of opposing racism.
This weekend an appeal video featuring various celebrities will be posted online to urge the public to donate. More than 84,500 people have already signed up to its database, making it bigger than those of any of the mainstream political parties.
Searchlight is proposing a clever campaign that is focused on imaginative ways to build public support against this small and vicious fascist party.
Signing up to HopeNotHate in no way condones violence, it is part of a carefully organised campaign to defeat the hate spread by Far Right parties in this country, but Searchlight also works against racism across all of Europe and beyond.
