There were a couple of different reasons for producing this yearbook. One was that we urgently needed to raise funds and it would be nice to have some kind of regular fundraiser that also provided some kind of service (which means we’ll be knocking one of these out each year).The second reason was that we wanted to preserve the first year of the Lancaster UAF blog – or at least the articles that we had written. Apart from giving a snapshot of the year from an anti-fascist viewpoint, the articles show the way the British National Party and other fascist groups operate and how we respond to their activities. The old blog, being based on a separate blog from the one at the current location, will probably end up in the same graveyard as all the dead web pages that have ever existed. Paper doesn’t, we hope, do the same thing. See, there are still some advantages to using paper.
We’ve been told that the blog is a valuable resource enough times that we now believe it, and valuable resources should be kept to be appreciated in a spare moment or two, so take a stroll through the highs and lows of 2006, have a laugh or two at the BNP’s expense (and several more at the expense of the even more stupid smaller fascist groups) and make good use of the list of organizations and websites at the back of the yearbook.
We’ve greatly enjoyed producing the book and we hope you enjoy reading it and, if you’re not already involved in fighting fascism, it encourages you to get active. Whether your activity involves raising awareness in your community, waving placards at demonstrations, delivering leaflets or starting your own website, we don’t mind – it’s the activity that’s important.
Fascism is a dire threat to our communities. The BNP and other fascist groups will exploit and encourage division for their own ends, regardless of the damage it causes, and it’s up to all of us to fight division and intolerance wherever we find it. We can only win if we are united in, if you’ll excuse the expression, our intolerance of intolerance.
Okay, that’s enough introduction. Go read the book…
