In the light of this growing threat in the county, and the election on our doorstep of Andrew Brons for Yorkshire and Humberside region, the Trades' Council has decided to call a demonstration to oppose the rise of the racist BNP."
Around 60 people attended the rally which made its way from the University of Lincoln to the High street via Wigford Way and Guildhall Street.
