Anti-fascists have attacked and defaced the BNP’s billboard on the Great Northern Road outside the Northern Hotel. The billboard has already been replaced once due to the actions of local residents appalled by the BNP’s message of minority intimidation and intolerance. The BNP have now put ‘security’ in place to protect the billboard against the actions of Aberdeen’s antifascists.
These security are nothing more than ‘old school’ party members who are not averse to the street violence that characterised the party in the 90s, from which today the party tries to distance itself . Aberdeen Anarchists activists experienced this violence first hand, and can advise anybody who carries out direct action in this way to be wary of a metallic blue car (possibly a ford focus), sitting in front of the Northern Hotel.
One of the men who has been providing security for the billboard is Aberdeen BNP party organiser and part time street thug Barry Scott, pictured below.
Finally, we would like to salute anybody who fights fascism and racist intolerance in their community by any means necessary.

While I am very proud of some of the people from my adopted home town for taking action I do feel there should be a bit more of an organised response to this.
A number of years back a coalition of various anti-fascist/racist groups here halted a planned NF march, I would like to see such a thing happen again.
Especially organised peaceful protest to it to make sure the BNP cannot spew any of their fact bending bile about “violent leftist thugs.”
Peaceful at least until the BNP “security team” storm in, then all bets are off.
I would love to see people associated with the Aberdeen Anarchists, SSP, UAF (despite my personal disagreements with some of their actions), and non-group linked people like myself get together and really make a stand.
i would be interested too
these nazi bastards have done too much damage. The recent stabbing in england and racial murders aswell as this increased growth of scum propaganda has gone TOO FAR.
Lets get together, start a march and send this filth out of aberdeen.
