TWISTY TIERNEY

Peter Tierney, Liverpool businessman by day, so called BNP “super activist” by night, is set to stand trial for assault at Liverpool Magistrates Court on August 5th. After previously being nicked twice, once for the possession of 100 wild bird eggs, Tierney was collared in April after splitting open the head of an Anti-Fascist protester with a camera tripod.

The Anti-Fascists had been following Tierney and his fellow BNP Neanderthals around Liverpool city centre, foiling their attempts to set up a stall and leaflet passers-by. After twice having to pack up and leave, Tiernery finally flipped out and started attacking protesters with the folded tripod. He was joined in his assault by Steven Greenhalgh, who used an upturned table as a riot shield.  

The BNP are attempting to organise a demonstration outside the Court in support of Tierney. Liverpool Anti-Facists are calling out for a counter-demonstration to show that Tierney and the BNP have no place in the community.

Dear comrades,

Please support the anti-BNP demonstration outside Dale St Magistrates
Court in Liverpool on Wednesday August 5th at 9.30am.

Local BNP member Peter Tierney is appearing on assault charges after an
attack on an anti-fascist protestor in April. The local BNP branch have
called on their members to support him. We must show that we will not
tolerate racist and fascist violence in Liverpool or anywhere else.

Please copy and distribute the attached leaflets and poster and spread the
word. Let's have a big show of strength on August 5th!
