Simone Clarke, a principle dancer with the English National Ballet has recently been exposed as a member of the British National Party. Clarke confesses to agreeing with the fascist politics of the BNP which include the wanting of an “all white Britain”, and although the father of her child and partner of 5 years is Cuban with a Chinese father, and immigrated to this country, she shows no remorse when saying that immigration in this country has “got really out of hand”. LMHR are calling on artists and performers, those working in the arts, music and dance fans, teachers and students, and everyone opposed to racism in the Arts to sign the statement below (click ‘Read More’) and to contact us to be sent a PDF copy of the petition …
On Saturday 17th February, UAF and LMHR are holding an important national conference.
The British National Party (BNP) is receiving the highest levels of support for a fascist party in British history. In recent years its vote has increased in a context of rising racism, Islamophobia and attacks on multiculturalism. At the same time there has been much resistance from UAF marches and rallies to the hundreds of LMHR gigs and events up and down the country. We urge everyone from across the UK who wants to get involved in the fight against racism and fascism this year to come down to London on Feb 17th to listen, debate and link up with other anti-fascists.

Metx ‘n’ Trix and Persia play at LMHR event Friday 5th Jan in Nelson, near Burnley, Lancashire.
