Kirklees Unity
Press Release
31st May 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE USE
The fascist BNP and their far right friends have stepped up their intimidation of trade unionists and political activists in Kirklees.
On Friday morning a young female student was attacked on her way to work by three armed members of the far right.
They pulled her to the ground, kicked her repeatedly in the ribs and slashed at her head with a knife. Whilst attacking her they called her “A Dirty Red” and “Filthy Lesbo” the latter being a reference to the victims sexuality. She suffered a fractured rib and severe bruising, but given the severity of the assault the injuries could have been far worse.
The attackers singled out this student because she campaigns on her campus to drive out the BNP.The victim is also a member of Unison and the NUS.
They knew her name and route to work, and deliberately targeted her to intimidate her and others campaigning against the far right.
The incident has been reported to West Yorkshire Police and they are currently investigating the attack.
The victim may be available for comment but will require anonymity in the media for fear of reprisal.
For further information regarding this press release you can contact Kirklees Unity at the following email address.

Fuck BNP scum! No surrender to the BNP! There will be no anti-fascist retreat from Dunkirk this time, not after this latest BNP attack.
Is this the way we are now going? young women attacked because they stand up for what they believe is right....attacked by a bunch of cowardly men....i hope they feel proud of themselves.
This could very well be the spark that lights the blue touch paper, and it wont be the race riots that the bnp constantly go on about, this could very well be riots where decent law abiding people decide that they will no longer take the lies and the crap that comes out of the bnp.
if i was a member of the bnp in that town at the moment i would be really worried.

Caradoc on Sotrmfront is former BNP Treasurer Mike Newland.
The Nazis have recently been bragging on their webshite of how they've got support of a major tabloid - the pornographic Daily Star (soon to collapse into a black hole on present circulation trends).
As soon as this story is reported by the Huddersfield press can everybody forward hardcopy and electronic copies to the editor of the Star at http://www.dailystar.co.uk/contact/
I wander if the attack can be linked back to cowardly Hitler worshipper and Redwatch photographer Nick Cass?
Will Colin Auty condemn the attack, or does be approve of such tactics?
Funny how Nick Griffin's BNP claim neither to be homophobic or evil thugs, when failure to achieve anything tangible via the ballot box means they are reverting back to National Front guerilla fascist intimidation tactics.
Nick Griffin rot in fucking hell!!!
When are the government going to act and put pressure on the United States government to stop Redwatch?
If they can stop the Polish version of Redwatch, how long before they remove Nick Csss/Watmough's version?
Does someone have to get killed before the FBI takes action and Nick Cass and Watmough are banged up for a long time in prison?

- Would be interested in how you found out that Mike Newland (now with the BNP breakaway faction, the Freedom Party) is ‘caradoc’ on Stromfront.
You can email me the info via Lancaster Unity.
You can also check out my article on Mike Newland, They never change: ex-BNP London mayoral candidate and treasurer in anti-Jewish postings:

Description of the assailants are a bit vague
Two attackers,one lookout.
All mid thirties
Skinheads
One has a pierced ear
Not great but that is all we have.
