Support from Kirklees Unity, Lancaster Unite and Hope not Hate

Another encouraging week as our protest at the BNP’s Red, White and Blue festival grows.

Bob Crow, General Secretary of the railworkers union, the RMT, has agreed to speak at the protest.

We have also been informed of the increased work of our friends from Lancaster Unity and Kirklees Unity to build for the protest. Finally the major anti-BNP networks of Hope not Hate and Trade Union Friends of Searchlight are also throwing their weight behind the mobilisation.
