Stop CLEAR CHANNEL promoting BNP

The BNP’s message of hate is being spread across the country by a small but dedicated band of racist activists.

But now, a commercial media organisation is seeking to financially profit from the BNP’s campaign. Clear Channel – one of the UK’s largest poster and billboard companies, that has a close relationship with Music and it’s promotion – have sold the BNP adverts across the country. 

They have provided the BNP with high profile sites – putting the BNP’s racist message on a pedestal and giving them the oxygen of publicity. In a matter of days these billboards and posters will be spreading across the country. But we can stop them if enough of us complain to Clear Channel and we get them to cancel their contract.

We have set an easy-to-use page so you can send a letter of complaint – will you send them a message of complaint?

Although unpalatable, it is right that every party gets access to the news and the media during elections – including the BNP. That’s one thing. It is totally different for a company to profit from the BNP’s message of hate. We’ve already successfully managed to get one of their billboards taken down in Essex – now we need your help to stop these spreading across the country.

We’ve set up a page on the campaign site where you can let Clear Channel know what you think of their policy to advertise and spread the BNP’s racist lies. The tool lets you really easily register a complaint. Once you’ve done that we then need you to send this email to all of your friends and get them to do the same – this will only work if you take ownership of this campaign and spread our message to your friends.
We’ve made it easy to send a note of complaint. We need to send them as many messages as we can – will you take action and send them a message?

We’ve had some amazing results in this campaign when we’ve taken collective action. Please take 23 seconds and help get these advertisements withdrawn.

HOPE not hate was set up to counter racism and fascism in elections and beyond. Over the past few years the British National Party has seriously contested council elections all over the country and achieved 55 councillors at district/borough level after the May 2008 local elections, though this has since fallen to 54. The BNP is now concentrating all its resources on the European elections, in the hope of getting Nick Griffin elected to the European Parliament. Once there, he would link up with other European fascist parties, to gain international influence and, above all, funding beyond the BNP’s dreams. At Searchlight we want to make sure that people know the full story about who the BNP are and what they really stand for. The HOPE not hate website aims to do just that, serving the anti-fascist movement and providing up to date news, good practice and analysis.
