A SWANSEA club owner who says he was wrongly claimed to have hosted a concert by "white pride" activists was in fact staging an Abba night.

The online allegations followed a demonstration in the city on Saturday, when up to 100 White Pride activists exchanged chants with more than 400 anti-fascist campaigners outside the National Waterfront Museum.

It was organised via a website called the South Wales National Front, which says it is not an official National Front site.

The website reveals that, after the demo, protestors enjoyed "a well-earned drink and the celebrations went on well into the night".

The location of the get-together remains unknown, but Keith Jones, who runs The Club in Morriston, said he was angry his business had been wrongly associated with the demonstrators. He is now taking legal advice.

He said: "We had nothing to do with the protest whatsoever, but The Club has been named on Facebook and Twitter as being the venue where they came back to after the demo. But we did not stage any concert for them.

"We had an Abba night on Saturday, which I don't think is their type of music.

"I have nothing to do with them, and I don't share their views.

"I have spent four years building this business up, and don't want to be associated with this.

"How can people just write something when they don't know the facts?

"I am not happy about it, which is why I am taking legal advice."

Meanwhile, police have said they have not received any complaints about a photograph posted online, which is alleged to have been taken at the unknown venue following the demo.

    “scarborolass just had a look at some info that might interest you. In 1900 about 30% of the worlds population was white, now it is around 15%, by 2060 this figure will be less than 10%. By 2100 this will have fallen further to around 6%. At some time around 2300 it is predicted that there will very few white people left(apart from religious groups and cults).

    This is nothing to worry about as all our genes will carry on throughout the human race.

    BTW hope this hasn't upset you too much lol lol lol”

    “scarborolass for thous who are not sure what 14w means i will inform them. No doubt you wish Hitler had done a better job on Swansea during WW2, then your dream would of come true. Not that you would be here today as your Grandfather/father would have been castrated and sent to a work camp to die. Of course your grandmother/mother would have gotten off a bit better being used for breeding purposes.

    The Fourteen Words is a phrase used predominantly by white nationalists. It most commonly refers to a 14-word slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children.It can also refer to another 14-word slogan: "Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth”

    “scarborolass no doubt you think anyone who hates these white racists can't possibly be white himself. Why not go the full hog and call me a traitor to the white race”

    “potsandpans in your post at 02.33 you say it wasn't the railway either. No body knows where this event took place, so how do you know. Reading between the lines you seem to know more than you are letting on. Perhaps you could let Mr Jones know where it actually took place. I'm sure quite a few sticking up for these vile creatures know where the event took place, or are they trying to protect their friends!!!!”

    Interesting to look at this picture and see the number of skinheads. If you look closely there are at least 3 people doing the Nazi salute. I wonder how that would have gone down in Swansea during the 1940's. They would have been skinned alive, and rightly so. And yet some lowlifes on here still stand up for them, bird of a feather flock together comes to mind.

    BTW i wonder if it's illegal to do the Nazi salute under the incitement to racial hatred act, it would be interesting to find out”
