Hope Not Hate
This just in from the Hope Not Hate mailing list:
There are some important developments in our Euro election campaign strategy that you need to know because I need your help.
We’ve changed the way we’re going to run the campaign to focus around an important group of people - our supporters on this email list.
Because, to put it simply, a traditional “top down” campaign really won’t work - we need to be flexible and local. To do this we’ve invested in a range of grassroots tools to empower our supporters and let them take the fight to the BNP on our behalf.
For this grassroots strategy to work we need to get as many people involved as possible.
What the Hope Not Hate campaign is looking for is for more people to sign up to their email list and to consider getting active in opposing the rise of the BNP.
While the BNP pretend to be a “legitimate” political party, once you scratch the surface they’re the same old racist organisation that they’ve always been. But scarily, people don’t know the truth - and this year the BNP are running candidates in the elections in June - and their leader Nick Griffin is standing for the European Parliament.
We can stop them if enough people sign up and join the campaign

It is really serious - can you imagine Nick Griffin taking a seat in the European Parliament, representing Britain?
We can’t let this happen. Please get involved by signing up here:

And from their own Party Constitution:
BNP membership is only open to: ‘the indigenous Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Norse folk communities of Britain and those we regard as closely related and ethnically assimilated or assimilable aboriginal members of the European race also resident in Britain’.
BNP ideology: ‘wholly opposed to any form of racial integration between British and non-European peoples’.
