as another sheffielder, i am slightly surprised that anyone is 'having trouble' with the wnp - cos they are basically a load of old bullshit, wqith perhaps two members in the area. tho they claim to have held a 30 strong meeting in town recently, that is almost definitely bullshit, and there is no evidence of them actually doing anything, or having anything other than a couple of members - who both seem to be sad sub-goth teens.
all they have actually 'done' of late is get onto a couple of lefty e-mail lists (notable the Sheffield Social Forums) and put a couple of freely available pics and names and phone numbers onto redwatch. a pain in the ass caused, but no real 'trouble'.
if they are doing anything more, i'm very surprised - not least by the fact that i'd be pretty sure i would have heard about it.

They have been visiting our local pub in town, I have not come across them myself yet as they only seem to come in when it's quiet and there are a few of the younger kids in there (typical I supose) to push around.
what they seem to do is send in some young kid and if they out number the kids they come in and start trying to intimidate them. I know for a fact that they have treatend to bottle a 20 year old (3 or 4 guys in there 30s against 2, 20 year olds) which is also typical I supose.

Figures of a 30 strong WNP meeting in Sheffield seem a little on the high side, as stated above.
As an example, if you look at the WNP website, a recent WNP activity in nearby Barnsley pulled out less than a dozen, and some of them were from Stockport.

I didn't mean there was 30 of them I ment there was 3 or 4 "in their 30s" (age)

paul meant at the meeting i referred to fishcake.
i simply dont believe that there could have been 30 there at all, and as you say, paul, if there actually were, they would have been bussed in from right across yorkshire. but three or four people having a go at some kids in a pub sounds far more up there street.
why are you sure they are WNP?

I can lend credance to this stuff. Not that my word means much. But in scanning a few message boards, I came across a few threats from the fash up north aimed at the punks etc in Sheff.
I contacted a few mates up there and they backed it up, saying that there was a very large WNP meeting last week, maybe Friday, I forget off hand, and a few of them have been showing up at the pub, which I wont name but is a top pub that should be checked out if your ever up there.
Anyway, my friend said that basically they were having trouble with several WNP skins showing up a few other times as well as threatening to "properly sort them out."
Not to long ago, maybe last year there was a gig up north, Leeds or Sheff area. an some attending fash properly fucked up one of the lead singers of one of the bands that played, like broken (snapped, as I was told) leg, again I'm refraining from specifics.
So yeah... I got the sense that they were looking for at least some support... If nothing else...

I think you should expect to give a bit more info if you want people to tell you stuff, cos you might be a fascist yourself no?
