Politics of hate

The newspapers said at the weekend the Scottish leader of the BNP is to stand in East Renfrewshire at the General Election.

I didn’t ever think I would have to debate a fascist party. I thought that type of politics was a thing of the past but that poison is back in the form of the BNP.

They are now planning to stand against me and its time for them to give some answers about their denial of the Holocaust and their hatred of immigrants. Their politics are alien to our British way of life – where we try to see people for who they are rather than their skin colour, nationality or religion. The BNP’s Nazi salutes and Holocaust denials turn my stomach.

These people are coming here to disrupt our community. East Renfrewshire is a great place to live and bring up a family. We also have really good relations between all of our faith communities including Christians, Jews, Muslims and Sikhs. The BNP are out to ruin that by peddling their poison of racial hatred.

Do you know when the BNP candidate intend's to visit Barrhead? I would like to think there would be a strong anti-fascist presence letting them know that this sort of nonsense will not be tollerated in this town!
