Keen to keep the momentum going following the tremendous impact this year’s Viccy Park Carnival had, and mindful of renewed if limited success for the fascist BNP in local election elections, LMHR have announced plans to take the Carnival to the North of England in 2009, ahead of June’s European Parliament elections in which the Nazis will again be aiming to do well. There will also be a major LMHR event in Yorkshire this summer. John McClure aka The Reverend of Sheffield’s Reverend and The Makers is working with LMHR on an exciting lineup of top acts from the region, to hammer home the message that many thousands of people in Yorkshire want to rid their area of racism and fascists like the BNP. The Rev announced the Yorkshire event in this week’s NME in an excellent article on the BNP’s results in the May elections, alongside a piece by Babyshambles’ Drew McConnell analysing the London elections and the need to keep up the fight against racism and fascism. More details will be announced shortly.
