Babyshambles, Reverend and the Makers, Adelaide McKenzie, The Paddingtons and Snakeyman are among the artists set to perform at a march in London tomorrow (June 21) to oppose organisations such as the BNP.
The bands will join thousands of people who will take to the streets partaking in a carnival parade procession from London’s City Hall to Trafalgar Square.
Babyshambles have performed at benefit gigs aimed at combating racism in the past and frontman Pete Doherty voiced some of his thoughts on the event stating: “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. Closed borders are like closed minds. What of humanity's horizons? How infinite are they or how barricaded are they?
“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.”
The demonstration will launch a year-long campaign aiming to prevent the BNP achieving any progress in next June’s European Parliament, local council and city mayoral elections.

I’m amazed at your ability to manage to see past the eloquent and passionate speech about racism and conclude from this article that pete doherty is a ’’dirty junkie.’’ What an original analysis. I’’m not one of those who brand him as a god or anything, I’’m just baffled at how a human being can be treated with the same media enduced negative labelling, when all he is trying to do is spe
