What really happened at the Red, Whie & Blue festival

The News of the World rarely publish news worthy articles. But they actually carried out a responsible piece of investigative journalism by going undercover at the BNP's 'Red, White and Blue festival'.

They infiltrated the so-called family festival and captured images of Nazi salutes and a video of a 12 year old girl encouraged to carry out a mock execution on a golly doll.

The event saw a protest of over 2000 anti-fascists organised by Unite Against Fascism.



Weyman Bennett, joint secretary of Unite Against Fascism, said:

"This was a great day for anti-fascists. We brought more protesters to Codnor this year than the numbers the BNP managed to attract to its 'festival' of race hatred. They had fewer people attending this year because the protests drove away their softer supporters.

"Protesters also managed to cause real disruption to the event by making it difficult if not impossible for the BNP's supporters and guest speakers to get into the event.

"Today we saw what can happen when black and white, young and old, Muslim and Jew, gay and straight, come together in unity to fight the fascist BNP. We now need to build this anti-fascist movement in every locality where the Nazis are active – and drive the BNP out of town."
