The BNP have published their list of candidates for the Council Elections on 3 May. Including Parish councillors they are fielding a record 827 candidates across the country. Most of these are paper candidates with no real campaigns or activity, but they are standing full slates of regional candidates in Scotland and Wales, Birmingham, Leeds, Thurrock and Sunderland.
This is more than twice as many candidates as last year, and more than the National Front at it's peak in the 1970's.
THIS IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO GET OUT THERE WITH UNITE AGAINST FASCISM. We need to be lefaletting against the BNP, stickering, and exposing the fascists for who they are. The BNP are putting suits on and trying to appear respectable, and we have to strip this image of legitamacy from them.
The good news is that Nottingham city remains an area where there are no candidates standing. The closest places to Nottingham they are standing are Hucknall, Brinsley, Eastwood, Heanor and Ilkeston. The biggest dangers at the moment are Hucknall where last year the BNP pulled about 25% of the vote, and Heanor, where they lost by only 16 votes last time.
LEALFET HUCKNALL NEXT WEDNESDAY 18 APRIL!!!!!
We're making a start in Hucknall next Wednesday, where there are already Unite Against Fascism members. Susan Gamble is the BNP candidate in Hucknall West, and we can leaflet the entire ward in a few hours with enough people. We're meeting at the MARKET SQUARE TRAM STOP FROM 5.30PM, AND AT HUCKNALL TRAM STOP AT 6.30PM.
Last year when the BNP stood we leafletted the area well, even the night before the election the BNP could only muster two leafletters!
SPREAD THE WORD, FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. The BNP have a much better chance of winning when the electoral turnout is low, and a much better chance of winning where there is no opposition. The more people that can make it to Hucknall the better, IT IS ESSENTIAL WE EXPOSE THE BNP AS THE RACISTS AND FASCISTS THAT THEY ARE
