Three members of Liverpool BNP arrested
In our report on Saturday’s events in the City Centre, we reported that 6 anti-fascists were arrested for public order offences at the beginning of the day. It now seems that more than just crossed words were involved, as today 3 members of Liverpool BNP were arrested by the police.
Two of these are believed to be Peter and Andrew Tierney.
Update: It is now confirmed that the three fascists arrested were Peter Tierney, Andrew Tierney, and Hazel Hesketh.
According to BNP leader Nick Griffin’s Twitter, this is related to a physical confrontation. He, of course, says the activists were “attacked” by “Cameron sponsored thugs” (the anti-fascist movement has defected en masse from the Labour Party to the Conservatives, we note) and that it was a “wrongful arrest.” The astute amongst you will remember that this was exactly what they said about Peter Tierney’s last arrest for fascist violence. The CCTV footage – and the jury – decided otherwise.
Update: All three have, according to the BNP, been charged with assault and affray. Their bail conditions bar them from entering Liverpool City Centre.
Wonderful news, especially the indication that the Tierney brothers were probably involved. Do we have any idea as to who the other one was? Hopefully it will be that loathsome woman in the lobster coloured duffle coat who was making monkey noises at Black passers by.
Sorry, a bad case of wishful thinking combined with jumping the gun. The third arrestee will have been Wrexham’s own Mike Whitby, who was arrested early on in the protest for shouting “paedophiles” at the anti-fascists. This is the guy who said we’d all end up on a site far worse than Redwatch, and supposedly wants to see all gays hung. So not a bad choice after all.
how will this impact on Peter Tierney’s parole and probation? Perhaps they will revise his community service seeing as he can’t help himself.
Would the police actually be able to confirm the nature of the arrests? seems strange it appears that the 3 where travelling to the hospital in Tierney’s landrover when they where stopped by the police, ( a BNP member confirmed this to me earlier ), then they are arrested, Tierney’s car impounded then Hazel Hesketh is released & the Tierney’s still detained, I wouldn’t mind betting there’s more to this than meets the eye & totaly un related to Saturdays incident,
The BNP accusing others of being paedos? Clearly they haven’t seen this… http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/the-real-bnp/BNP-a-party-of-convictions.php
