East Midlands Unite Against Fascism have called a protest against a fascist rally organised by the BNP in Derbyshire on Saturday August 16th. Despite significant local opposition – including the withdrawal of a premises (alcohol & music) licence by the local authority and police – the BNP are going ahead with their Nazi rally in the Derbyshire countryside. In previous years, BNP members were secretly filmed by BBC documentary makers singing Nazi marching songs at the event. UAF are calling on every organisation and individual opposed the BNP’s attempt to hold an event aimed at stirring up race hate to protest near the rally site at Denby Lane, Codnor, Derbyshire from 9am on Sat 16th August.

More details of the protest will be released shortly.
From nme.com:
Lily Allen has posted by a clip of a new song about the British National Party on her MySpace page.
The song, entitled ‘Guess Who Batman?’, is expected to feature on Allen’s forthcoming second album, which she is completing in Los Angeles.
Writing on the Lily Allen MySpace blog, the singer explained, “This song is not a direct attack at anyone, it was originally written about the BNP in the UK but then I felt this issue has become relevant pretty much everywhere.”
The song features the lyrics, “Look inside your tiny mind, then look a bit harder/’Cos we’re so uninspired, so sick and tired of all the hatred you harbour/So you say it’s not OK to be gay, well I think you’re just evil/You’re just some racist who can’t tie my laces, your point of view is medieval/Fuck you, fuck you very much/’Cos we hate what you do and we hate your whole crew, so please don’t stay in touch.”
There was an excellent, diverse and loud turnout for Saturday’s LMHR/UAF demonstration and carnival parade against racism and fascism. The event is a great start in building a year-long campaign to stop the BNP gaining success in next year’s Euro elections. There were LMHR and UAF groups from around the country, scores of trade union banners, and musicians present included John McClure from Reverend and the Makers, Babyshambles’ Drew McConnell, UK-Iraqi rapper LowKey, Birmingham “grime theatre” group Decypher Collective, The Priscillas, The Thirst, Mecca 2 Medina, Stoke’s own ska outfit Skalinski, and DJ Rugrat whipped up a storm on the decks. For photos from the day check out our flickr site, and there is also video from the day to watch – click the title of this item to have a look. Thanks to all who helped organise the event, and in particular the trade unions who sponsored it and turned out members and leaders to speak.
