Love Music Hate Racism

From conversations i’ve had over the last few weeks with various people, both Trade Unionists, and None-Trade Unionists, there appears to be a widespread belief that because the main election season is over for the year (Sorry Norwich, i know its your by-election this week, but you just don’t cut the mustard   -  the only bad joke of the day hopefully), LMHR & UAF do not need to high levels of support they had earlier in the year, and that any involvement with them can be put on the backburner.

 

LMHR & UAF are not organisations that only campaign during election season, they do work all year round to ensure that the Fascists and hypocrites within the BNP do not get elected. This is a constant struggle, as anyone who was involved in the election campaigns in may will tell you. 

 

Love Music Hate Racism needs all of our support, there is so much you can do,  organise an Event, go to an event, spread the word to colleagues friends and neighbours. Every single thing you do helps to fight the Far Right.

 

NASUWT in the eastern region are looking at the possibility of running the LMHR - Trade Union training course, organised by Dave Smith & ian Solomon of Love Music Hate Racism.  This is a way of ensuring that our members have all the skills and knowledge they need to be able to help stop the rot of the BNP, and also to be able to pass this knowledge on to their pupils – the future voters. If We can show todays Teenagers the right path to head down, hopefully when they get to voting age, they will mark their cross for anyone but the BNP

 

If anyone is intereted in the LMHR training course, if you contact LMHR, or dave smith (Both contact details are on www.lovemusichateracism.com and get your trade union to back it.

 

On Another note, I got back from the Latitude Festival yesterday, after an exhausting, but exhilerating 4 days of music, comedy, literature and theatre. Was good to see te Bars being run by the Workers Beer Company, where bar workers get free entrance, secure campsite, free meals, and alcohol tokens, in return for a 6 hour shift each day, with the wages going to organisations they represent. The Trade Union movement was represented in force!
