The BNP is trying to rewrite history!
Remember that victory over the BNP on May 6th? Well, the BNP are trying to rewrite history. After losing every council seat in Barking and Dagenham in May, the BNP are threatening to sneak back in. Labour councillor Louise Couling has had to resign after it was discovered that she was working for the council - as a lollipop lady - during the election.
So the BNP have a second chance at this election - and we've made a commitment to the people of Barking that we will not desert them. Now we need to live up to these words both in this by-election and over the coming months. Just weeks ago we beat the BNP. Now we need to beat them again. Help us get the word out about the BNP's hate-filled policies in Barking and Dagenham by making a contribution of £15.

Quoted in the lead article, Mike Quinn, National Vice-Chair said "Napo supports many organisations who campaign against the far right, including UAF, Love Music Hate Racism, Hope not Hate and Show Racism the Red Card. We are currently working to develop an effective strategy to combat the far right, particularly in the run up to the General Election, and will encourage members to take part in events both locally and Nationally in order to expose the BNP and other far right organisations, as well as to mobilise apathetic voters. Napo does not condone violence of any kind and would expect its members to conduct themselves in a peaceful way whilst on anti-far right demonstrations and events"
