Anti-BNP protesters will be taking to the streets of Corsham to show
their anger at a member of the far-right party claiming a seat on the
town council.

A rally and protest has been organised for Monday, June 11, after BNP
Coun Michael Simpkins took the Rudloe ward uncontested at the recent
elections.

Kyle Thornhill, 21, who has lived in Corsham all his life, has had
leaflets and posters printed to publicise the event.

He is calling on everyone in Corsham and the surrounding area who
objects to BNP involvement in the town to get involved.

He said: "I, like a lot of local people, did not get to hear that this
BNP candidate was standing until it was too late to do anything about
it, because if we had I would have stood against him to stop the BNP
getting in."

He is organising the campaign to show what he says is the "strong
anti-fascist feeling" in Corsham.

"Although there was a protest last week, again not enough people heard
about it until too late, so what we are doing is organising a protest,
letting plenty of people know about it and giving them plenty of time.

"The response I've had from all the people I've met has been
overwhelmingly positive, with the only negative comments coming from
BNP people via websites."

Mr Thornhill, whose great grandfather came from Barbados, says the
rally will also celebrate Britain's multi-culturalism.

African drummers are expected to attend and there will be a host of
foreign cuisines on offer.

"The vast majority of people in Corsham do not want the BNP here, and
it has been inspiring to hear the comments from all the people I've
spoken to," said Mr Thornhill.

"I'm sure there will be a very big turnout."

Just attend every council meeting and note what the fuckwit says, if he 
shows any disrespect to people on race grounds then shove a complaint 
off to the Standards Board for England who will remove him from office.

       Why don't they stand for election themselves, perhaps on an anti 
fascist platform, that way if successful they can claim some popular 
support!! Are they protesting about what bit of democracy we have?

Indeed. Let's uphold the undemocratic standards board which can remove
someone who was fairly and squarely elected to public office by the
electorate.

Hitler would have liked the Standards Board.

The lack of an opponent is usually considered to be a sign of massive 
support.

We're talking about hypocrisy here - and the stance of the so called 
Anti-Nazi League and its outright undemocratic fascist activities. Of 
course the BNP don't idolise Stalin, why should they look to one of the 
world's greatest mass-murderers?
