Furious BNP chiefs have drafted in security guards - to protect a POSTERThe far-right party splashed out £2,000 on its first billboard campaign in Scotland. But just hours after the massive sign was unveiled, it was targeted by outraged protesters and torn down. And since being replaced, the poster has been pelted with paint, covered in graffiti branding the BNP "nazi scum" and even set on fire. The party has now hired two security guards to keep an eye on the Aberdeen billboard round the clock.
Barry Scott, the BNP's north east organiser, said: "We thought we might get a problem with graffiti but we never expected the poster would be destroyed. If people have a problem with the BNP we would rather they emailed us."
On their website, the BNP boasts that the poster on Aberdeen's Great Northern Road is "yet another breakthrough" for the party. But local Labour councillor George Adam said: "There are certainly people who are extremely concerned about this, who think the poster is offensive."
And Ken Ferguson, of the Scottish Socialist Party, added: "It's not surprising that a poster for the BNP has attracted hostility. Their racist views are repugnant to the vast majority of people in Scotland."
Grampian Police said four men aged between 20 and 25 have been charged in connection with three incidents involving the billboard.

Security guards for a fucking poster??? Weak.
The poster is wrong anyway. The people on the poster are american models so can't vote.
BNP Scotland is pathetic. Walter Hamilton wants to takeover Raikes' leadership and has already got some of his friends in official roles in Scotland. Glasgow BNP is in a mess as Hamilton has bullied a lot of members and they refuse to be active. Other units only have 2 or 3 activists who do next to nothing, I say next to nothing as they do write an occasional report. Talking of reports, Raikes no longer has access to the BNP website after he reported on the Scottish Volunteers. BNP Scotland blamed the Scottish Volunteers on not being able to field 9 candidates but if truth be known its down to lack of funding. The only thing that BNP Scotland is celebrating is the return of Nazi Scott McLean.
It must be nice being so popular.
Awesome, do it again
It might be worth finding out the company that sold the space to the BNP, also who made the poster for them/and put it up.
We could then try and convince them doing business with the BNP isnt good for your company in the longrun, and even bring their conection with the BNP to their other customers.
The neo-Nazi scumbags on the Casuals United blog is patheticlaly trying to jeer at the playwrite of the anti-BNP play not allowed to be performed in Dudley.

The graffiti actually makes the poster look better. Shockingly bad design! From the so-called publicity department I presume?
I wouldn't be surprised if indignant members of the public were to express their anger with Clear Channel by engaging with some of their other posters about the place. Which I would utterly disapprove of, of course.
"Shockingly bad design"
Yes. As somebody who works in advertising I think it's laughable. It's very old fashioned and would be derided if pitched at any agency. However, the BNP are reactionary and old fashioned so maybe it's appropriate.

Maybe thats why some are saying Collett has been suspended/sacked from the BNP....... any news on this AF?
Theres a thread on the dissidemnt NWN blog showing a BNP bulletin stating Collett's been colluding in a palace coup against the fat one

Hmm. I have severe doubts about this but what the hell, I've put up a post about it. Even if it's an April Fool, it'll give us a laugh and embarrass Paedo Boy. :)
