message from General Secretary Bob Crow

All RMT members in London concerned about the racist activities of the BNP should attend the Union’s Forum on Sunday 11th April 18.30 -20.30, at Broadway Theatre, Broadway, Barking, IG11 7LS. (Map)

Hope not Hate and Billy Bragg will also be attending the Forum which will discuss the consequences of the BNP strengthening its grip and the positive alternative of uniting the local community to fight for jobs, social housing and public services.

Fighting the BNP, particularly in Barking, is absolutely essential and I hope that you will join the campaign too.

The British National Party is becoming a household name. In the process it is trying to appear more moderate and respectable. But it is not. As Hope not Hate says, scratch the surface and you find the same old organisation it always was.

Hope not Hate reveals that the BNP is dedicated to imposing apartheid-style rule in Britain. It wants to create a system that is based on the nonsense that white people are superior to all others. Black and Asian people would become second-class citizens under the law.
We must not ignore the BNP. Everyone who rejects the BNP's politics of hate has the duty to do everything they can to stop them. See the bullet-points below which expose the real BNP.

I hope to see you there.

Bob Crow
RMT General Secretary

What if ... In a BNP Britain

• The BNP would kick out all those people who were not born in Britain. What if every other country in the world kicked out the Brits? A staggering 5.5 million people would be sent back here – far more than would leave our shores. This includes 800,000 from Spain, most of whom are pensioners.
• If non-white people were ordered out of Britain then the NHS would collapse overnight. 16% of nurses are from minority ethnic communities, as are 40% of new dentists and 58% of new doctors!
• The BNP would introduce apartheid into Britain. The BNP call for whites to be given first preference in housing, education and jobs. This is no different from apartheid South Africa, a racist regime which the BNP supported.
• Mixed-race relationships would be outlawed. The BNP constitution opposes any racial integration. Articles in BNP journals condemn mixed-race relationships as “mongrelising the white race”.
• The BNP’s answer to violent crime is to allow every household to have a gun. We kid you not. This barmy idea was in the BNP’s 2005 general election manifesto.
