    BNP protests lead to 33 arrests

    Rather misleading headline by new labours media outlet.

    Police have been continuing to question 33 people arrested following protests at a British National Party (BNP) festival in Derbyshire.

    “at a BNP festival”, at??

    Arrests were made on Saturday after about 40 demonstrators clashed with riot police outside the BNP’s annual event in Denby.

    “outside the BNP’s annual event”.

    Further arrests were made the same day as protesters dispersed in Heanor.

    Who was arrested? What political persuassion were they of?

    About 250 officers, including some armed with batons were deployed, as well as dogs and a force helicopter.

    The police that well equiped, so new labour has thugs in its ranks then.

    Earlier some 700 demonstrators from Notts Stop the BNP, the TUC and Unison took part in a march from the nearby village of Codnor.

    What happened to the St george’s day parade, CANCELLED, but this one of 700 hundred thugs went ahead no problem.

    Extra officers were drafted in to control the march as a group of protesters tried to break a police cordon which had been put in place.

    Earlier, the protesters were from the TUC and UNISON, now their just protesters.

    BNP chairman, Nick Griffin, said: “We regard them [protesters] as entitled to have their demonstration.

    “It’s unfortunate that some of them want to try and cause trouble for us. Hence then the police had to inconvenience local people.”

    Earlier in the week police in Derbyshire invoked special public order laws to restrict the number of people who planned to demonstrate in protest at the BNP festival.
