Pete Doherty Condemns BNP Win In London Elections

More The Libertines

More Babyshambles

Babyshambles signer Pete Doherty has condemned the election of the BNP's Richard Barnbrook to the London Assembly.

Barnbrook, who is BNP leader on Barking and Dagenham Council, one of 25 seats on the Assembly at last week's local elections.

Speaking following his release from prison this morning, Doherty said “there will be no passage of evil through these isles without a proper, good struggle.”

“This island has always been a melting pot and personally I am 100% mongrel in the great dog stew of history - Bona fide scouse, London Irish, jew Geordie BiloRussian.”

Doherty, who missed last week’s Love Music Hate Racism carnival because of his imprisonment, said that “closed borders are like closed minds”.

“Racism is upon us and let us not forget it is still within living memory that six million people died in gas chambers because of a hateful ideology,” he added.

The Love Music Hate Racism campaign will hold a protest against Richard Barnbrook's presence on the London Assembly tonight (May 6th) at City Hall from 6pm.

Well done Pete - I hope more people will speak out!

junkie fuckwit - get back to jail you filthy druggie.
~ by steve 5/6/2008
Yes, well said pete. We need more drugged up, rent-boy, heroin addict morons like you as role models. My kids look down on you for the piece of shit you are. Come round my house you scumsucker and I’ll give you a struggle. I will do the world a favour mate, trust me! Prick!

- I love internet hardmen like Pete Twattery, I suppose you’d prefer your kids to look up to a violent aggressive prick like you than a junkie prick like Doherty. Anyway Doherty is actually a pretty big guy - he’d probably knock you out you poof.
  ~ by monsoonboy 5/6/2008
Ah yes what a great role model. Recently released from prison because despite being given many chances still chose to stick two fingers up to the people who trying to help him. By the way Pete, the holocaust has a much to do with the BNP as the murder of 60 million innocent people by the Communists has to do with you.

Oh dear lets all take notice of the great role model to the youth of today, convicted druggie and all round mr nice guy, mr pete doherty, just let out of prison ,what a pillar of society you are when you join the real world pete and stop pumping yourself full of shit you may actually come out with something intelligent to say until that day kepp taking the tablets. i can’t work out why anyone has anything to do with this guy it sucks all creditability away that any organisation might have
~ by baz 5/6/2008
The BNP are vile, racist fascists. Good on Peter for speaking out against them and their appalling ideology.
~ by John 5/6/2008
The only reason Pete doherty condems the BNP is they wont tolerate his criminal behaviour ie drug taking ect. He will be banged up in prision for a realistic time and not let off countless times like normal. As for being racist i dont belive i have ever heard the BNP state white people are racialy superior all they have ever said is to put the british people first and that dose meen black asian ect that have been living in britian long enough to be called british. Whats wrong with that ????????
~ by Andrew of edgware 5/6/2008
I don’t see why because he is a junkie he can’t speak out against the BNP and racism. From a selfish point of view racism affects society far more than drug abusers.
~ by Raymond 5/6/2008
I agree Andrew of Edgeware. There was nothing wrong with putting Germans first in 1930’s Gemany either, until Hitler realised that the German Jews, gays, gypsies etc. were all subhuman and a threat to their country. Prick.
~ by churchill 5/6/2008
This is great publicity for the BNP. I hope more drug-addled losers speak out agisnt them. It only makes them look even better.
~ by Jim West 5/6/2008
If I was that vile loser docherty, I’d emigrate before the BNP get to power and he gets the ”proper” prison sentence he deserves. Crawl back under your stone druggie scum.
~ by Sarah 5/6/2008
fuck off you nazi cunts, lay off Pete and do something good for the world, and die. The world doesn’t need selfish, racist nazis like you lot.
~ by mr.sessioner 5/6/2008
rather have a junkie as a role model than a racist frankly.
~ by johnsohn 5/6/2008
even if you do not like pete, you can still understand what he is saying. racism is such a bad thing, and i personally do not understand why people judge other people on the colour of their skin, religion or where they’re from or anything. it is the personality that counts at the end of the day, not looks.
~ by 1ae3 5/6/2008
he’s not trying to be a role model though is he. He is a rockstar just talking about what he believes in. i don’t see why you’re all getting angry about it...
~ by billy bilo 5/6/2008
And what a role model you are ”pete twatterty” for those comment you made when you have children yourself
~ by Richard in Barnsley 5/6/2008
Good on ya pete alls yous racist pricks can go dig a whole and go bury yourseleves. nobody is pure white unless your a bunch of inbreds.
~ by Foxy888 5/6/2008
drug addiction is self harmfull hes not harming you or your fucking children leave him alone i would much rather speak to a drug addict who knows that racism is wrong and the bnp are scum and has enough intelligence to back up his argument than someone who has never had a drink in their life and wants to tell me that britain should be full of white middle class britons you are so shallow minded drugs are hurting pete not you and hes a musician for christs sake all the good ones have

Firstly somebody said ”the holocaust has a much to do with the BNP as the murder of 60 million innocent people by the Communists has to do with you.” Obviously they don’t know thier history, that the Nazi’s were a natiolistic party, with a terrible racial ideology. Secondly, Pete speaks out against a genuine cause - the BNP is full of racists and thugs, so fair play to pete for speaking out which is more than you lot (not all of you) who sit and watch it all go past and s
~ by James 5/6/2008
Sorry Pete but you really are a prize prat - who the hell is interested in anything you have to offer?
~ by Gerry G 5/6/2008
No matter what his background is, at least he is taking a stand against the racist and fascist BNP. The BNP are racist, the people above need to grasp reality and leave fascism behind.
~ by The BNP suck. 5/7/2008
like anyone cares what this dirty junky criminal scum thinks.
~ by lovebnphatejunkies 6/22/2008
No he is not a musician he is a talentless junky scumbag Nobody cares what he thinks.
