More than a hundred local people including local councillors gathered tonight outside Hornsey Town Hall ahead of a planned meeting by the BNP in Crouch End. Police had closed several local pubs in case of trouble, but a peaceful crowd representing a good cross-section of local residents gave a clear message that the racist organistion was not welcome. If any Nazis turned up, they soon left, realising that there was no support for their ill-thought-out views in this local community.

Police had a low key presence and there were no arrests and no reports of trouble.

'Smash the BNP' came sixth in the local pub quiz:)
