Now ready for download is our LMHR winter newsletter, packed with information and stories about previous events and activities ove the last few months.
We are from Hull and 200 years ago William Wilberforce, the Hull MP, started a campaign to end the slave trade in Britain. He made things happen. However, even today there are 27 million people living lives that are not their own. We think that this was the worst angle on Racism - you could buy people "50 to a Pound" and treat them worse than dogs. Back then, the anti-slavery movement was the first to use poems and songs to make their point. So, the Padds are proud to come from Hull, the home of a protest movement that is still relevant today.
...As for the BNP and it affiliates; a pointless, pathetic and entirely threatening institution that we have an obligation to address with whatever means we have to hand. Tonight it is music. There is little doubt in my mind that these people prey upon the weak willed and vunerable. Their ideals are not radical. They are outdated; a deeply flawed philosophy opposing an intellgent moral majority. My sympathetic side may momentarily insist that these narrow minds require our understanding, that they are re-educated. Unfortunately their exclusive and extreme beliefs have harrassed the free existence of difference for such an extended period of time, I have little choice but to keep my sympathy back for those that deserve it. Fuck the BNP!
A crowd of 500 strong anti-fascists including trade unionists, students, members of the black community and local residents came together on Saturday 9th December in Central Park Dagenham to protest against the Fascist BNP. The BNP showed themselves to be the minority in Barking and Dagenham by only mobilising a crowd of 50 or [...]

Love Music Hate Racism celebrated 30 years since the very first Rock Against Racism gig - last week at the Royal College of Art, London, the same venue as that first RAR gig, which featured acts including Carol Grimes and Denis Bovell.

The BNP are attempting to stage an open public rally in London for the first time in 20 years. The BNP's increased presence in the borough where they have 11 local councillors has seen racist attacks rise by more than 60% year-on-year. Unite Against Fascism are calling on people to book transport to the event and for local public sector workers to protest in uniform, union and other banners and for you to bring delegations of people from where you work, live or study. We need the maximum possible turnout in unity against the racist lies of the BNP.

The first central London RAR gig took place almost 30 years ago to the day at the Royal College of Art. We now face an even greater fascist threat than the National Front were at that time - the BNP have 49 councillors nationwide and got 800,000 votes nationwide in recent elections. Racism and Islamophobia are rife. So it's a good time to remember how we beat the Nazis last time and discuss how we can organise to do the same today. On Wednesday, the Royal College of Arts and hosting a screening of the RAR/LMHR DVD by Alan Miles "Who Shot the Sheriff?" with the director himself, Specials legend Jerry Dammers and an LMHR speaker doing a Q&A afterwards. That'll be followed by a DJ set from Jerry Dammers celebrating Jamaican music of the last 30 years and more.
