rip this joint please
good point Ollie.

Jan 2004:

Anna Lo of the Chinese Welfare Association said she believed that Belfast's growing reputation as a racist city was deserved.

"A lot of racist incidents have not been reported," she said.

"A lot of Chinese people would have kept away from reporting attacks because they are saying 'what is the point?'.

Dec 2003

A gang of thieves orchestrated a series of racist attacks in Belfast to take the heat off their own criminal activities, The Observer has learnt.
People in the loyalist Village area blamed last weekend's violence that led to two Chinese and one African family fleeing the area on a group that they say is responsible for 51 burglaries in south Belfast this year.

Fearing retribution from local loyalist paramilitaries, the gang spread rumours that foreigners were behind the burglaries. Its members then launched the attacks on the Chinese and African homes last Saturday night, according to people living in the area.

In one attack in the Lower Donegall Road the gang burst into a house and assaulted two pregnant Chinese women - one of whom was due to have her baby on Christmas Day. A man in the house had his nose broken when a brick was smashed into his face. Bricks were thrown through the window of the two other families.

there's hundreds of stories like this in recent years. and there have been racist killings, oh aye.

from that last link though, the final paragraphs are interesting
Local unionist politicians organised opposition to the mosque's construction. Anti-racist campaigners in Northern Ireland accused the unionists of stirring up racial tensions for political gain. The organisation behind the Portadown and Craigavon racist incidents was the White National Party, an extremist breakaway faction of the British National Party.

There have been similar attempts by the WNP to organise in Belfast especially in the Village area. Last July the WNP daubed KKK and swastikas close to the homes of foreign workers and nurses.

However, both major loyalist organisations, the UDA and UVF, have not allowed the overtly racist groups to grow in their redoubts. The UVF's political wing, the Progressive Unionist Party, has been at the forefront of a campaign to stop racist attacks on Philippine and African nurses living and working in Ballymena, Co Antrim.

I hadnt heard about the housebreakers whipping up tension to cover up their activities. I find the idea of imigrants being serious crims in the area they just moved into laughable really, presumably people saw through that one a mile off. I know around 5 years ago the UVF in that area tried to convince an estate agent to put a 5 grand charge on houses that were being sold to imigrants. The idea being that it would limit the mount of imigrants that would move in to the area, but also be a good moneyspinner for the paramilitaries. However the estate agent didnt agree to it so they decided to break windows instead. Strangely enough the party that is associated with the UVF is one of the most left wing in the country, way more than Sinn Fein

BNP might be prosecuted over membership policies:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8114619.stm


I'd love to see how they attempt to tally this:

In its constitution, the BNP says it exists to represent the "collective National, Environmental, Political, Racial, Folkish, Social, Cultural, Religious and Economic interests of the indigenous Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Norse folk communities of Britain and those we regard as closely related and ethnically assimilated or assimilable aboriginal members of the European race also resident in Britain"

It says membership of the BNP is "strictly defined within the terms of, and our members also self define themselves within, the legal ambit of a defined 'racial group' this being 'Indigenous Caucasian' and defined 'ethnic groups' emanating from that Race".


With this:

Mr Griffin said the BNP was an exempted organisation under Section 25 and Section 26 of the Race Relations Act. He said this meant "ethnic groups who need special protection such as the English in their own country, who are now second class citizens" were "entitled to discriminate on that basis and not on the grounds of colour".
He added: "We are not discriminating on grounds of colour."


in court.

Dont remember seeing this on the TV news anywhere. Did it go unreported ?

"Groups that say they are opposed to Islamist extremism are plotting fresh clashes with anti-fascist organisations this summer after violent battles between the two sides in Birmingham city centre led to 35 arrests over the weekend"

There was quite a lot of coverage of the event which kicked all this off - the muslims in Luton protesting against a march by returning soldiers.

The whole thing is fucking retarded from start to finish:

fundie islamists trying to wind people up -> football firms drunk on patriotism up for a ruck -> useless anti-fascists the UAF after publicity.

Casuals United is weird, not really 'fascists', not really 'hooligans' (it's bizarre, they're using the Stone Island logo and selling 'calling cards', but jabbering on about 'peaceful protest' - but who are they? Why don't they come out with info on which firms exactly? Or have I just missed that bit?)...

Given the organisation name and the T-shirt and baseball cap merchandise, I'd lay bets it's the old Chelsea skins.

Nail on the head mate.

Yes, I heard about the Luton bizness but didnt realise it has escalated to organising regular unpoliced meets in ethnically diverse citys is just winding up ppl who are ready to be wound up is a worry and vice versa.
