Peter Tierney and Merseyside BNP head to court yet again…

Andrew Tierney in typical pose
Today, Merseyside BNP “super-activist” Peter Tierney was up at the Crown Court to enter a plea on charges of assault. In response, Liverpool Antifascists turned up to distribute leaflets informing the public of exactly who Merseyside BNP has in its ranks.

Overall, the response to the leaflets from the public was a positive one and several hundred were distributed. The only negative response we received was from people who picked up on the word “BNP” and instantly became wary, only letting their guard down once they realised we were opposed to the fascists, not for them. Such a reaction from those mistakenly believing we supported the BNP is a common one, and betrays the depth of feeling against the party amongst the ordinary, working class people of Liverpool.

As a counterpoint, the fascists were out in force today, with Steve Greenhalgh, and Clive Jefferson amongst those most familiar to the BNP amongst the swarm of suited “activists” waiting to enter the court. And of course there was Andrew Tierney, who was happy to mingle with the gaggle of tracksuited boneheads brought in to make laughable attempts at intimidating us “reds.”

Steve Greenhalgh before the hissy fit that nearly saw him arrested
for breaching Section 5 of the Public Order Act, the same offence for
which one antifascist was branded a "thug" by Merseyside BNP and
had his photo, name, and address published on Redwatch

For as long as we were there, Andrew continued to film us. There were also shouts and attempts at goading from him and his fellow goons as time drew on. Perhaps due to the proximity of the crown court, the police (better known for protecting the BNP rather than persecuting them) actually responded to complaints about the filming.

Particularly ironic was the moment when one police officer threatened to charge Steve Greenhalgh with a breach of section 5 of the Public Order Act for swearing at him. It was this same breach that one of our own activists was found guilty of when Tierney’s accusations of assault and criminal damage were thrown out as untenable nonsense. For Merseyside BNP this amounted to a “serious public order offence,” though we imagine it will quickly become “police persecution” now that Greenhalgh is on the receiving end.

Having delivered our leaflets and accomplished what we needed to, antifascists then left the scene – and the boneheads – behind. We will, however, be returning when Tierney faces trial and he is finally forced to face the truth of his actions back in April.

Further updates on the case to follow soon.

Racist thug Peter Tierney's MySpace: -

Warning! - Contains racist blog postings.

Boycott Quiggins Attique said...

Another BNP supporting member of the racist scally Tierney clan is Sue Tierney who goes by the name Sue Quiggins, and she operates the Quiggins website, as well as her own decor shop called "Quiggins Attique".

Her myspace happens to be:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=269030384

Just in-case you are wandering what her politics are, take a look at Peter Tierney (Peter Quiggins) racist blog video on MySpace claiming Muslim people are taking over Britain:

http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=257177269&blogId=485728576

Sue's comments on Peter's myspace that Muslims are very scary and white people must preserve their own identity.

(take a look for yourself)

On her myspace "Quiggins Attique", Sue Tierney makes a big play about being friendly with lots of celebrities including Laurence Llewelyn Bowen who was reportedly "taken with Quiggins" (obviously not knowing about the family's violent racism), filming for ITV1 series "House Gift"!

Would they be the same Tierneys that bullied their way through
Myrtle and Sydney Gardens as children?
