8/14/2019 STOP the FASCIST BNP Peace and Unity Vigil 20th

1/2

Peaceand unity

vigil

The fascist BNP have called a rally inStoke on 20th September and theirleader Nick Grifn will attend. The BNPis not a respectable political party itis a fascist organisation that thrives inan atmosphere of racism and bigotry and they plan to create that climate in

the city.Everyone opposed to the BNP muststand together against them.

The BNP is trying to present BritishNational Party (BNP) activist Keith Brownas a white martyr and a victim of Islamic jihad against Great Britain. Buttruth is that Brown and his son AshleyBarker subjected their neighbour HabibKhan, and his family to years of racistharassment and violent abuse.

The judge, Simon Tonking, noted thatdespite denials to the contrary, both MrBrown and his son Ashley Barker wereinvolved in acts of racial aggressiontowards members of Mr. Khans family.

The Khan family was called pakis andtheir windows were smashed nearlyevery other day.

They had a panic button installed after

one particularly vicious incident in whichBarker who is also an active memberof the BNP beat Habib Khan tounconsciousness.

Barker was convicted of assault last year.

The BNPs attempts to portray Brown asa victim should be seen for what theyare a transparent ploy to stir up racehatred and violence.

Mr Khan has been convicted and

sentenced following a court trial.Having an essentially political rally inStoke is not about the BNP seekingjustice for Keith Brown a longstandingfascist BNP member. This is about theBNP pushing a racist agenda in Stokein preparation for next years mayoralelections.
