Terry, not John.







Terry - winner of Best London film at the Portobello Film Festival 2009. Looks well worth a watch for anyone into reality film.

My Summers in Europe Part 3: Montenegro and Prague

After 4 nights of mayhem at Exit Festival, we needed to refuel. What better place to do it than Ulcinj in Montenegro..





Bar train station, Montenegro:





Prague:











Camp Zizkov in Prague. The gypsy king was about to die in a Prague hospital and so the campsite became over-run with Romani gypsies who travelled from all over Europe:

BNP/Daily Mail.





Nicely done article on the sad state of the overly right-wing British press..

The City of God.

Saw this in the Standard yesterday.. the realities of life in the favellas of Rio de Janeiro:

Anti-BNP Demo.

Went down to White City to see what the Anti-BNP demonstration was like. Here are a few photos:

BBC Television Centre, White City:



The tube by Wood Lane station:



Lowkey:



The scene at the main gates. Griffin entered through the back, hours before:



Security was a little tight..



Although I went to the march - a campaign specifically against Nick Griffin's appearance on the BBC - I do believe that BNP has every right to appear on the show. Poltical view points, whatever the may be, cannot simply be dismissed if we don't like them - even if they're fascist. As an elected MEP, Nick Griffin should be given the chance to engage in serious political discussion. The BNP have large support in some areas of the country (e.g. Burnley, Dagenham, Bradford) and unfortunately do represent some proportions of our population, albeit a minority.

The real problem with Question Time last night was not Griffin's appearance, but the over-bearing anti-BNP bias on the programme from the supposedly 'independent' BBC. The show was unbalanced and the constant attack launched towards the BNP by both the audience and panelists meant that serious issues, such as the Royal Mail, public sector debt and climate change (things normally discussed on Question time..) were merely bypassed. Given any chance to speak on such issues, Griffin would have shown himself up to be the complete fool that he truely is.

The panel spent the show attempting to out-do each other in an attempt to be most critical of the BNP. Instead, they should have been asking themselves why it is that in 21st century Britain, we are seeing fascists being legally elected into our governing institutions. Both the BBC and politicians of recent years have a lot to answer for.

I'm P, I make the tune, I said I'm P.
