Trinity SP plan to prevent BNP from speaking in TCD

The Trinity Socialist Party have called a major campaign in Trinity against fascism and racism. This has resulted out of the fact that the College Philosophical society "The Phil" has invited Tony Wentworth BNP Youth organiser to speak at its yearly debate on the politics of the far right on November 20th.

In response the Trinity SP are calling for no platform for the Nazi BNP and are arguing that Wentworth is not interested in debate but only in organising people around his fascist ideas.

Their party has called a meeting in Trinity for this Thursday at 1pm in the arts block entitled "Stop Wnetworth no platform for the Nazi BNP in Trinity", posters have already begun to pop up around campus advertising a meeting at 1pm in room 5052 in the arts block.

There is also talk of a possible protest by students at the visit of this Nazi but Kenna is being tight lipped about how this may be planned out.
