Report of a picket at BNP meeting in Shirebrook

Notts Stop the BNP supporters joined others on Thursday, 2oth Aug, at a picket, organised by Chesterfield UAF, of a BNP meeting in a former mining village, Shirebrook, 6 miles north-west of Mansfield. The picket, about 20 of us in total, followed a violent racist attack at a local take-away by youths identifying themselves as BNP.

The BNP have a large branch in Bolsover/ Shirebrook. The BNP branch nominally is based in Bolsover although meetings are at the BNP members pub in Shirebrook. That pub, the Great Northern, has become very much a base for BNP activities. In the past the BNP have claimed as many as 40 attending some of those meetings.

The picture below shows one of those meetings.
