Love Music Hate Racism

Love Music Hate Racism would like to give out its deepest sympathies to the friends and family members of the late reggae legend Desmond Dekker. Dekker died suddenly from a heart attack last night in his Surrey home aged 64.

Frantic Entertainment and Love Music Hate Racism present a night of peace, love and chilled out tunes. Join Ross Martyn, Jennifer Hall, Paul Goodwin and the down tempo beats of 209 radio's Sunday night chillout master Wellsey for some beautifully soulful acoustic and electronic tunes to round off your weekend...

Late Wednesday night (17th May), a 30 year-old Afghan man was stabbed outside Barking tube station by four white men. After shouting “f****ing pakis” and other racial abuse, they stabbed him twice in the chest and stomach, draped him in an England flag, and left him for dead. The man is in serious condition at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. The anti-fascist movement has always said that where the BNP make gains, racist attacks will always increase. When the BNP previously held one seat in Barking, attacks went up by 18%, now they have 11 councillors and we are seeing the results already. We cannot wait for more racist attacks and murders to take place. It is absolutely vital that we continue to build the strongest united anti-fascist movement possible both nationally and locally.

The gains made by the fascist BNP in the recent May 4 elections are a blow to all who value democracy and the multicultural Britain in which we live. While they dress themselves up as a respectable political party, the reality of life with the BNP is very different. When they previously held one seat in Barking, racist attacks went up by 18%. Now they've won 11 seats there and their total across the country has risen to 48.

Everybody who Loves Music and Hates Racism must increase our efforts urgently in every town and city to stop the BNP.
