Fuck The BNP – Strange Fruit
So Nick Griffin sits there on Question Time, sat next to an American black woman no less, and describes the terrorists of the Ku Klux Klan as a non-violent organisation.
Next day, after getting the “good old political rough and tumble” he said he was looking forward to and making himself look like the absolute gobshite he is, he then describes a studio audience as a “lynch mob”.
Lynch mob eh. A term kind of made popular by? Well, you finish that thought.
Anyhow, one of the best protest songs of all time is undoubtedly Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit.
Here is Nina Simone’s version remixed by Montecristo. I like Billie’s version best but this comes with a devastating video.
So here’s a message for any smarmy fat Adolfs who run scared of a mere studio audience: this is what a lynch mob REALLY looks like, you turd.
Fuck the BNP! Fascists out! Refugees welcome here!!
Watch this video, hear these words, and remember that this is what the fascists are really about. Never again.

This is no time to mince words, Alun. Once again you have hit the nail square on the head. Fuck them indeed. Nick Griffin – do his follows see him as a prophet given that one ‘Isaiah’ than the other.

This city (liverpool) knows better than most what terrible things hate can achieve. Never again… please!? Nick Griffin preys on the impressionable section of societ, well at leat I would like to think so – otherwise it is intellegent people who are voting for him. Either way, he is a vile, vicious scumbag who laughs at the murder of millions of jews… I believe in freedom of speech yes, but when you are spouting such hurtful racist, biggotry then there should be a limit to what we except!
