Group[edit]

I removed this from the article as it's about a particular group, and not the subject of this article. I don't think the material is worth adding elsewhere, but someone may disagree, so I'm posting it below. SlimVirgin (talk) 04:33, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No Platform was a British anti-fascist group formed in the mid 1990s by anti-fascists willing to carry on the militant "physical force" tradition of anti-fascism begun by the 43 Group and carried on by the 62 Group, some elements of the original Anti-Nazi League and then Anti-Fascist Action until the latter's retirement from militant anti-fascism in the mid-1990s.
This group appears to be defunct, with some anarchist members helping to form a similar group, Antifa (from 'anti-fascist').[1]

Actually the material is useful.Harrypotter 22:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nick Griffin at Bath University[edit]

I added the thing about Nick Griffin coming to Bath. When this actually happens I'll change it to report what actually did happen. Pej

the text of this is not 100% accurate I don't have a reference for it but I did attend the meeting myself - happy to alter this if it won;t be edited. Mark —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.74.60 (talk) 18:12, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No Platform[edit]

This article should include more details of the NUS's No Platform policy, which I believe was introduced during the presidency of John Randall (1973-1975). Unfortunately I don't have a reference for that. It also could do with a reference to Nick Griffin and David Irving's invitation to speak at the Oxford Union, and more discussion of the no platform concept and how it differs from restricting free speech. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.175.184.0 (talk) 03:17, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
