Video from an ITV "London Programme" documentary which shows famous Metropolitan Police surveillance footage of some of the 5 men thought to have killed teenager Stephen Lawrence, talking about their own psychotic violence and racist politics. Extra footage has been added from the BBC TV documentary "The Boys Who Killed Stephen Lawrence". This video contains extremely offensive language, but is posted because at present it doesn't seem to be available on You Tube, and in the hope that continuing to expose racism will discourage people from supporting the politicians and activists who directly and indirectly encourage hatred and violence.
Although they've been involved in vicious attacks on white people too, the video starts with one of the suspects fantasising about mutiliating black people, saying that "every n****r should be chopped up and they should be left with f*****g stumps". The gang talk about their admiration for Enoch Powell, the right-wing politician who, after his career was destroyed by miscalculating his "Rivers of Blood" speech, became an icon for the NF - the National Front, and the BNP - the British National Party. Murder suspect Luke Knight says "D'ya remember that Enoch Powell... he was saying no f*****g n****rs...", etc. Enoch Powell put forward the idea that black people should be "repatriated", and Luke Knight goes onto to describe how he'd like to repatriate black residents of Catford by making them swim "home" with severed arms.
The video shows suspect Neil Acourt threatening, pretending to stab, and waving kitchen knives in the faces of his own friends. Suspect David Norris laughs about using a screwdriver to attack a white man who was walking with his wife and kids in a park - a (very brave) black passer-by came to help the victims and was attacked too. One suspect also describes threatening to slice a workmate called Mick with a Stanley knife.
To place this all in context, Stephen Lawrence's murder took place close to the (now moved) BNP HQ in Welling, South London. The time that the BNP spent in Welling was marked by a massive upsurge in local violence, which included not one but 3 murders - all of local school children! Rolan Adams was killed by a 12 "strong" (sic) gang who stabbed him in the throat. Rohit Duggal was stabbed to death by attackers who described him as a "Paki". Stephen Lawrence was stabbed to death by attackers who called him "N****r".
It says alot about the morals of BNP and NF supporters that NF and BNP graffiti is often scrawled on the street where Stephen was murdered, but ex- BNP, NF and Combat 18 member Matthew Collins confirmed to Time Out magazine that the atmosphere created by the BNP in Welling "contributed to the Stephen Lawrence murder". Collins explained how his employment at the BNP HQ led to him joining a BNP attack on Welling Library in which the BNP used "hammers, pieces of wood, sticks and motorcycle helmets" to discuss BNP policy on "free speech" with a library caretaker and with old and defenceless (white and Asian) women, 17 of whom were hospitalised by this vicious BNP assault...

There is no proof that the BNP were directly involved in the attack on Stephen Lawrence, but since all this violence in South London, senior BNP official Tony Lecomber was jailed for trying to plant a nail bomb, and BNP member David Copeland exploded nail bombs which maimed 139 people and killed 3 adults and 1 unborn baby. Just recently BNP member and convicted mugger John Laidlaw shot 3 people in Islington, and 3 times failed BNP councillor Robert Cottage was jailed for stockpiling explosives to make bombs. Another Nazi called Martyn Gilleard was recently jailed for making nail bombs...

In a case that received little publicity, over Xmas this year the Post Office intercepted a parcel containing a Taser stun gun. Police raided the home of addressee Ellis Hammond - a serving Police Community Support Officer who patrolled the area of Welling including the street where Stephen Lawrence was killed - and found 8 combat knives, 4 BB guns, a CS gas canister, telescopic truncheon, knuckle duster, crossbow, a replica AK47 assault rifle, pornography, BNP literature and DVDs, 25 Nazi t-shirts and Ellis Hammond's BNP membership card.
