Searchlight calls on all anti-fascists to join the mass picket of the Oxford Union in the event that BNP leader Nick Griffin and the convicted criminal and liar David Irving are allowed to speak.
The demo will start at 7pm on Monday 26 November outside the Oxford Union, St Michael Street, Oxford.
It is supported by Oxford University Student Union, Oxford Unite Against Fascism, Oxford Trades Council, Oxford University Labour Club, Oxford Unison Health, the National Union of Students, the Union of Jewish Students and Searchlight.
The latest news is that Irving is claiming a prior engagement in Liverpool that evening. Griffin has been keeping very quiet about putting in an appearance.
Either way it is important for everybody to show their defiance against the attempts of the extreme right to spread their message of hate in universities.

Why has that fascist comment been allowed through? What's it got to do with the main post?
You need to keep bastards like that off before bastards like me start staying off.
The moderation here's really uneven. The crapheads know it so they post shit like that to detract from the point.
Why let them do it?
Whoops, my fault. I hit Publish instead of Reject and didn't notice. Comment now removed.
Tx Ketlan. Weed the scumsuckers out.
"The moderation here's really uneven."
You're joking right?
Is it true that Russell Brand once humiliated Mark "can't-get-it-up" Collett?

Modding's a fine art, you'll never win. When Ketlan was in Blackpool DG modded and the trolls didn't get through, but you do kind of miss the muppets when they aren't here. Letting them come here to spout crap and go off topic isn't on either.
Maybe there should be only one mod or maybe you need to have some rules.
I'm sort of 99% no platform and I agree the muppets have lots more blogs than we do to spout their crap. I reckon 99% of what they shit out on here should be deleted unless it's in the interests of antifascism to show it.
I said the modding was uneven because nothing gets past DG as far as I know but it does other times. I don't mean anything against Ketlan or Denise who do a great job.
My two cents worth.

Yes he did!
He reduced Collett to tears in a beer garden.
It is true about Brand and Collett
I used to have it on video,but I have mislaid it.
Anybody else have a copy?
Ketlan??
The interview is in three parts for some reason, but links (YouTube) can be found on our old blog here

The BNP are obviously going down the student route again, since they decided to infiltrate the student union in Manchester by wearing gorilla suits.
I just by chance (via google) checked out the neo-nazi BNP myspace site, and I came across this profile of a (possible) key Manchester student BNP organiser on the first few key friends (so presumably he's an important young BNP recruiting agent).

Does anyone recogise this loser? He's obviously some sort of musician in a band, performing to large audiences, but how many people would listen to his music if they knew he was a nazi?
After all, Simone Clarke's career has hardly blossommed since she came out.... lol
Or Richard Barnbrook for that matter, if we're discussing the art-house male porn world.
If he doesn't sneak into the Manchester Uni Student Union, he'll probably end up on Great White records, which will guarantee a long and successful music career
You're right about the BNP using MySpace to reach out to the "trendy student set".
Another BNP Myspace key friend from Gillingham, studying at Leicester DeMontfort Uni, nicknamed "King Jim" boasts how he "spreads genocidal theories" whatever he means??????

Not so easy to deny the Holocaust like Griffo and Irving, if he revells in the mass murder at Auschwitz.
Luckily, he looks like a geek who at most gets off ripping the wings from butterflies. lol
Well at least one university has fgot some sense
" The British National Party has been banned from Exeter University following a general meeting of the Guild of Students.
The meeting voted to create a "no platform" list and policy, which includes the BNP and could be extended to include other groups."
I also read this earlier
...Gay rights activist Peter Tatchell counters this with the example of Hitler and the rise of the Nazi party in Germany before the Second World War.
In a piece entitled: "Do fascists have a right to free speech?" he writes: "It is possible that if there had been no free speech for Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany during the early 1920s... they may not have grown in strength and influence.
"Denying them an opportunity to propagandise, gain respectability and enter the political mainstream might have thwarted their rise to power. Tens of millions of lives may have been saved if the free speech of Nazis had been suppressed early on."
He added: "In extreme circumstances, there should be intolerance of intolerance. Otherwise some people can use free speech and their human rights to undermine the human rights of others."
And that's precisely what Irving and Griffin do.
Brand making a tit of Collett can be found on youtube
