  “I
thought in the last couple of years racism had been cut out of the game.
But you read things, you hear things. These things need to be cut out
of the game because they’re not good for the people involved and
not good for the game.”
David Beckham, England football captin

 “The
electors of Millwall did not back a Post-Modernist Rightist Party, but
what they perceived to be a strong, disciplined organisation with the
ability to back up its slogan 'Defend Rights for Whites' with well-directed
boots and fists. When the crunch comes, power is the product of force
and will, not of rational debate.” Nick
Griffin, BNP leader.
“The trade
union movement has a long and proud record of standing up to Fascism in
its many forms….(the BNP) sneak beneath a veil of respectability,
just as Hitler did when he high-jacked Germany’s fledgling inter-war
democracy and closed down all the unions.” Roger
Lyons, Joint General Secretary, Amicus-MSF.
“Mein Kampf
is my bible” (Mein Kampf is a book written by Hitler in which he
set out his Nazi philosophy and practice.) John
Tyndall, BNP founder and former leader.
“As people
of faith, the defeat of racism is the business of us all. For it is only
through the active participation of the many that justice is done and
true liberation of those that are oppressed is secured. It is vital that
people understand the impact of racism, for instance, the tone of the
public debate about asylum seems to have led to an increase in racist
attacks. Several asylum seekers have been murdered, but members of settled
minority ethnic communities also report greater levels of prejudice. Many
fear that the War on Terrorism, including the conflict in Iraq, is further
fracturing British society and leading to suspicion and resentment against
minority communities.” Secretary for
Churches Commission on Racial Justice, the Rev Arlington Trotman speaking
on behalf of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland.

“The
sick minds who would have us believe that Jews were gassed at Auschwitz
are completely twisted.” Tony Lecomber,
number two in the BNP.
“It’s
clear that we need to defeat fascism, not just at the ballot box but to
defeat the ideology of fascism and racism.” Bob
Crow, General Secretary of RMT.
“A point
of detail in the history of the Second World War.” (Referring to
the gas chambers in the Nazi death camps.) Jean-Marie
Le Pen, leader of the National Front in France.
“I don’t
believe that British working people have an appetite for fascism.”
Kevin Curran, General Secretary of GMB.
 “A
drunken, warmongering slob.” (Referring to Winston Churchill.)
Tony Lecomber, number two in the BNP.
“We are
committed to making sure that our members are aware of the consequences
of BNP activity, both in the local community and more specifically the
workplace.” Sir Bill Connor, General
Secretary of USDAW.
“I am well
aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were gassed and
cremated or turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that
the earth is flat…I have reached the conclusion that the ‘extermination’
tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie,
and latter day witch-hysteria.” Nick
Griffin, BNP leader.
“We need
to challenge discrimination and disadvantage in the world of work and
face the challenge the BNP are posing which is part of a European-wide
threat.” Brendan Barber, General Secretary
of the TUC.
“Many who
feel that Hitler was right do not believe it is safe yet to state such
views openly. But times will change.” John
Tyndall, BNP founder and former leader.
“We underestimated
the fascists in Chile. We learned the hard way that you need to keep an
eye on them, not only the open fascists, but those who conceal themselves
and work in a hidden way inside democratic organizations.” Ernesto
Leal, trade unionist victim of fascism in Chile.
“When we
get to power our opponents will be swept away like flies.” John
Tyndall, BNP founder and former leader.
