AND FINALLY

The BNP website was brought crashing down last week in what the far-right group themselves dramatically described as the ‘largest cyber attack in recorded history’. The denial of service attack began on Saturday night, at one point flooding servers with 28 million hits (allegedly) emanating from Eastern Europe and Russia. It continued for a number of days. BNP Leader Nick Griffin is calling them ‘Marxist cyber criminals’.

Also last Friday Clear Channel, the huge media conglomerate who provides billboards for the BNP (see SchNEWS 541, www.clearchannelsucks.org), suffered a similar cyber-attack. 

In a urgent communique to “fellow patriots”, Nick Griffin is foaming at the mouth and knows exactly who to blame, thundering, “The rising popularity of the BNP’s website ...was obviously simply too much for the alliance of Communists, Tories, Labour, Lib-Dem and UKIP parties to bear, hence the decision to try and close it down by illegal means.” Well, that narrows it down Nick – at least there’s a united kingdom opposing you.
