Activists from the Oldham branch and others from Burnley and Harrogate met outside the Granada TV studios earlier today (19th) to protest about the Coronation Street soap episode shown earlier this week – Monday(16th).
During this episode the following scene took place:- “Anyway she (Sunita) was visited by her Brother (Jayeesh) who was obviously disappointed that this sister was living alone and not with the father of her twins etc and offered to take her to the family home where Mum and Dad etc would welcome such additions to the family. She replied no I have to be independent etc. and he replied: “You can’t live like this like some “white trash” living on benefits etc.”
This is an openly anti-white racist remark, insulting every white working class British citizen, it is particularly insulting to single white mothers who through no fault of their own are left to cope with the child or children, with little or no help from the state. Anyone who is in this position will know how difficult it is to make ends meet and understand why so many single white mothers and their families have called local and national BNP party organisers to complain about this programme.
The calls however have not been confined to single mothers; we have had calls from people from all walks of life and from all ages.
Protest
About 40 party activists held a peaceful demonstration outside the Granada TV studios in Manchester where the soap is made. There were several members of the press there to cover the event, as well as a Granada TV crew who filmed us then retreated back behind the two rather large skinhead Granada security guards. BNPtv filmed the action and this can be viewed here.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) sent three officers; an inspector, a Sergeant and a PC, it was explained to them that our demonstration would be totally peaceful, to which the inspector replied, we know that but we want to prevent any trouble from the anti’s, if they turn up.
Activist Mick Treacey made an official complaint to the inspector, regarding what we consider to be a racial slur, in fact it is incitement to racial hatred. She immediately read out a prepared statement.
