Arsenal against the BNP!

Being the multi-cultural football lovers that we are, I thought many of you would want to campaign against this march that the BNP are planning through Luton.

Some might say that this isn't the forum, but we are all Arsenal and we are all against racism and the insidious BNP, so take two minutes to send Alan Johnson a letter.

Once that's done, we can get back to arguing about 'realists' and 'rose-tinters' again!

Cheers

I have no love for the BNP. OR any other extremist group.

But if they are making a lawful and peaceful protest, then they have a right to do so.

When Muslim extremists made a protest at the homecoming parade of British troops, they were likewise within the law.

Extremists love attention. A counter-protest provides them with the exposure they crave. Better to ignore them, in my opinion.

I'd like to add that this is a forum for football fans.

Not a political recruitment agency.

Nothing personal against you, MH.

I understand your point Olgit.

My reasons for doing so are personal and moral.

...and it won't be peaceful, as there are already plans to target Muslim areas.

I'm leaving this one up and open as I despise racists in all forms. And given some of the foul shit the likes of the chavs and their combat 18 retardo's spout, football is sadly not unaffected by racism.
