Viscount Henry Gage took a leading part in the burning of an effigy of a Gypsy family, including small children, burned before a large crowd shouting "Burn them, burn them" at a bonfire 'celebration' in East Sussex, England, recently.

This blatant act of incitement to racial hatred has been condemned by the Commission for Racial Equality. But pressure is needed to ensure that the police and Crown Prosecution Service follow through with the arrest and charging of Viscount Gage and other members of the Firle Bonfire Society.

What is the URL about this article about the BNP trying to get onto colleges? I'll have a look and see if it wasn't just hidden by mistake.

Hi Tom. The URL for this nonsense is...

We were hoping to encourage people to email the idiots and tell them what we think about their campaign.
