The BBC has invited Nick Griffin, leader of the fascist BNP and a man with a criminal conviction for denying Hitler’s Holocaust, onto its Question Time in London. Anti racism and anti fascism campaigners will be protesting outside BBC offices everywhere on the day the program goes out. The broadcasting workers’ union BECTU has said that it backs the protests and that it will support any of its members who refuse to take part in making the show.
This is not an issue of free speech. This is an issue of the BBC bending over backwards to give publicity and therefore credibility to an avowed fascist organisation who would try to deny even the most basic rights to those who are black, Muslim, gay etc.
If you’re disgusted by Nick Griffin and appalled by the BBC’s decision to host him, come join the protest outside the BBC on Thursday 22 October. Please bring friends, family & workmates.
Please pass this message on to everyone in your address book and download the poster to print and display in your workplace or college.
Hope to see you this Thursday at 5pm.
