A protest will take place against the “Red, White & Blue” 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. The protest has been called and organised by UAF, the Midlands TUC, LMHR and many local organisations. There will be speeches at the event as well as music from LMHR-supporting artists from across the Midlands. Coaches to the protest are coming from Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Chesterfield, Coventry, Birmingham, Stoke and the Black Country – see www.uaf.org.uk or call UAF on 0207 833 4916 for more information.
