keep them out of North Antrim
North Antrim Fascist Out! Campaign groups have carried out a poster and leaflet drive in Colraine, Ballymoney, Portrush and Bushmills.
The WNP had largely disappeared as a public organisation following their humiliation in Portrush earlier in the year.
On that occasion members of the WNP broke the land speed record while running for cover to the local PSNI station when confronted by anti fascists. One WNP member handed over information that has made it difficult for them to hold any public activity and has exposed their organisation to increasingly hostile attention from local people who, thanks to the work of local anti fascist activists, are becoming aware of their true nazi character.
Following that debacle the White Nationalist Party was about to try to revive its fortunes in the area. The FOC has stepped up its work to ensure that they find North Antrim difficult territory for fascist ideas.
North Antrim FOC would like to thank all those who put in the time and effort this week to help.

The truth is that the wnp has attempted to intimidate the people of North Antrim but found the tables turned on them.
They ran like the chickens they are and their mates blew the whistle on them.
FOC is right to take their approach to the wnp.
The only way to deal with the wnp is to, expose their real political agenda, fight the social conditions that they try to use as a breeding ground for fascists ideas and deny them the opportunity to organise.
Unfortunately the backdrop to their activity in Northern Ireland is a massive number of racist attacks. Any liberal live and let live attitude will be at the expense of ethnic minorities and, when they feel strong enough, the working class. The wnp can not be given the breathing space to become the organising centre for these attacks.
FOC is right; no platform for thugs.
They where out at the week end doing car parks again,there wasalso a racist attack in Portidown
Keep the flag flying
wheres your posters in bushmills theres none there
BUt should a free and fair country not allow everyone a platform to air their views no matter how extreme?
"No platforms for thugs"
Thats the problem with such self appointed or should I say annointed vigilantes.
They assume the right for everyone else to identify "thugs" and supplant the legitamate authorities.
Kind of like the IRA or the LVF when you think of it.
Good to see NI return to form.
