Das britische Magazin News of the World hat am 23. August 2009 Bilder und Augenzeugenberichte vom Red White and Blue-Festival der neofaschistischen British National Party (BNP) am vergangenen Wochenende veröffentlicht. Die Fotos zeigen unter anderem, wie ein Mädchen demonstrativ eine schwarze Puppe in ein Lagerfeuer wirft. Auf einem weiteren Bild ist ein Besucher des jährlichen “Familienfestes” der Partei zu sehen, der den Hitlergruß zeigt. Der Bericht und die Aufnahmen stammen von einem Reporter, der undercover an der Veranstaltung teilgenommen hat. In dem Beitrag heißt es unter anderem:
Around 1,200 members converged on fields at Codnor, Derbys, for the Red White and Blue “fun” weekend. Our undercover reporter, posing as a supporter to gain entry to the members-only event, secretly filmed racism everywhere. For £1 a go, people were throwing wet sponges at a man in a Barack Obama mask locked in stocks.

Now get on there.” Skinhead Hamilton chipped in: “If he jumps off he’s innocent.” Coombes went on: “He’s guilty, guilty as charged.
“Let’s get a real one – in the town we’ll find one or two. They’ll also be guilty of the heinous crimes I charged him with – may God forgive your horrible soul.” Coombes repeated the charges then added: “He may have appeared innocent to you lot but I’m sure he done lots of things wrong.” [...]
On one occasion shouts of “Reds, reds” broke out. BNP members grabbed hammers and axes then charged to the perimeter fence. A lone anti-facism protester trying to get into the festival was stopped by police before the thugs got to him.
