Police & Customs collaborate to capture 60,000 copies of BNP's Voice of Freedom

[sihhi]

About 60,000 copies of the September issue of The Voice of Freedom were impounded after they arrived at Dover on Sunday, in a lorry from Slovakia.

Phil Edwrds says:

"What they are doing is trying to look for something wrong when they don't know there is anything wrong.

"We are saying it is an abuse of power - we are supposed to be a free country."

My question is:
Is it possible for the BNP appeal against this?

 

[editor]

Why aren't the BNP using British labour to create a British magazine promoting the fact that British people don't need pesky foreigners? It's an outrage!

I wonder how many British print workers the BNP are helping keep out of work with their insistence on using foreign labour over hard working Brits?

When pressed, the party leadership claim they have been forced into it by being denied other printers, but that clearly isn't the whole story--for example, Hancock (veteran fascist) is still functioning in Brighton.

So, your point about the BNP not using 'British' labour contradicting their stated ideology still stands.

Hancok was always too closely tied to Tyndall for Griffin wasn't he?

why has hancock been able to continue for so long hmmm...?

and i thought the bnp stopped using the arab owned satallite press because of their own members not because the company refused to print it?

1) The answer re Hancock is the utterly obvious one you infer.

2) No, most members didn't know about the arab owned press until it was splashed across the media

If there are no grounds for the seizure they can sue.

Tangent question: Why was an arab owned printing press prepared to print B*P shite? Just the money or prepared to tolerate somthing I assume has its share of anti-semitism inside?

1) so that's why griffin won't use him maybe

2) and then the members revolted (or some anyway) i thought

even so i'm sure there are acceptable printers in this country who would take it on with few qualms

 

[Larry O'Hara]

well, he is an 'ecumenical' fascist who has printed for everybody (including Browning/Sargent, wherein lies a tale...), plus a nice line in phone kiosk sex worker cards, not to mention the circumstance whereby his premises (without his knowledge ) were used to print moody passports.

His own politics more hard-line Nazi: see his Revisionist booklists for example.

i imagine because they are money grubbing cunts who dont give a fuck, after all the rich bosses are unlikely to suffer much from racist attacks in their leafy suburban homes

1) True, Hancock is widely distrusted, but there is also a cost factor. Give any spare money from printing goes in part to Nick Griffin plc

2) You may be right, though the BNP internally claim that the precise type of printing operatiopn with the skill/technology mix required is difficult to find outside multinational-owned concerns.

Is it possible to sue Customs or would they have to sue just the police?

 

[rednblack]

If there are no grounds for the seizure they can sue.

unless the law has changed very recently customs can seize pretty much anything on suspicion and do pretty much anything they like without having to provide evidence of suspicion - and all with no compensation

they have destroyed entire businesses on very shaky ground in the past

I am much humbled to have my point approved by you.

If you read the report it was not customs who did the seizing. If anyone thinks it was a random siezure they must still believe in fairies and father christmas.

of course it wasnt random, that would be very naive

 

[fij276]

The seisure of BNP literature just weeks after a court ruling on the legality of a leaflet went in favour of the BNP just show how stupid the police/customs/ the Labour government who are behind it really are. All that will happen is the BNP gain more publicity, and again show the failings in the democratic system in Britain

Anyone got any update on this?

Hard working Brits - are there such things these days? I believe the only people in this country who actually work hard are those who own a business/are self employed.

Doesn't everyone use foreign labour these days?

The government helps keep the vast majority of the population out of work by paying them gross amounts of money to stay at home watching neighbours and drinking cans of lager.

You do realise that you'll be re-banned when your status as a previously-banned returning poster is discovered, don't you?

Probably the biggest load of bullshit I've heard on these boards. It reaches the parts other posters would like to avoid.

According to the BNP's website, the impounded papers were released on the evening of the 12th of September. That was the day after they were seized.

Yep it is- it's also on BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/4236640.stm

A spokesman said sample copies of the paper had been kept for the inquiry.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will decide whether to prosecute over a possible incitement to racial hatred.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.
