Nick Griffin, leader of the fascist British National Party, is to speak in Leeds on April 15th. The venue for the event is a regular BNP venue, The Middleton Arms, Middleton Park Road, Leeds, LS10 3SA (Tel-0113 277 7827.) The pub are fully aware of the nature of the event, and in fact recently hosted a BNP meeting at which Richard Barnbrook spoke. Despite attacks on the building by local antifascists, The Middleton Arms is now the BNP's preferred venue in south Leeds. They are allowed to do their own security there, sell racist litreature, and are generally welcomed by the landlord.

We call upon all local antifascists to do all they can to prevent Nick Griffin and the BNP spreading their racist poison in Leeds, and to put out of business venues like The Middleton Arms, which are happy to provide a platform to fascists.
