Political Protest

What we had to do: Give a theatrical political protest on something we feel strongly about.

What we chose: Protest against the BNP having two seats in the European Parliament, one in the regional constituency of Yorkshire and the Humber region, and the other in the North West region.

What we did: We (Lucy, Esme, Hana, Khai, Ben and myself) tied ourselves to the railings outside of the main entrance to the school. We held up signs such as 'DO YOU BELIEVE IN AN ALL WHITE BRITAIN?' and 'THE BNP'S VIEWS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO NAZI BELIEFS'.

The BNP is an extreme right-wing political party that centers its policies against immigration. It also believes that Capital Punishment should be re-introduced and it also opposes same-sex marriage. John Tyndall, the man who founded the BNP once proclaimed that "Mein Kampf is my bible." So, if there is any doubt that the BNP is a racist, homophobic and dangerously fascist organisation it can be dispelled by this clear statement of intent. I fundamentally and passionately disagree and oppose every aspect of the BNP and its beliefs. This is the reason behind the need to perform our piece in the way we did.
