The fascist BNP can be stopped from gaining respectability and legitimacy when the majority of people make their voice heard - wherever they get elected it is consistently from a low turn out.
Unite Against Fascism will be continuing to leaflet the rest of the ward in the run up to the elections to make everyone in the area aware that the fascist BNP are standing, and encouraging them to use their vote to stop them getting elected.
If you want to help leaflet, please meet us at 1pm at Hucknall tram stop on Sunday, 7th Feb. Or contact Richard on 07940 952825.
Who do UAF suggest we vote for?

Encouraging people to vote in order to fight fascism might have short-term benefits in thwarting a particular BNP candidate, but in the longer term, it's a dead-end.
Most people now feel that ALL politicians are untrustworthy, manipulative nobs on the make; the BNP successfully play on that by seeming to be "other" than mainstream politics. Unfortunately, encouraging people to vote for mainstream parties can reinforce this.....
