A bright start to the week

It’s Monday morning and it’s time to start the week. I’ve just read an uplifting email from a woman from North Manchester Against Racism who attended our recent North West day school, which incidentally was a great success. She said that she had found the event really uplifting and fitted in with their own strategy of localised campaigning. As part of our online campaign she has got 15 people to fill in our HOPE not hate cards and was urging each of them to sign up their friends.
It is emails like these that give me the extra spring in my step.
It’s going to be a busy week, what with a number of fundraising meetings, speaking engagements at the House of Commons and Ilford, continuing our campaign against the BNP’s Racism Cuts Both Ways initiative and a couple of Christmas parties. In between, I have to find some time to plan out the January issue of Searchlight.
Incidentally, I received a call on Friday to say that another BNP councillor has been arrested. Can anyone shed any light on this?

the Isle of Wight Branch of BNP had a stall out in Newport High st. with Mt. Clynch, their newly appointed 'organisor'. The claim to have given out thousands of 'Racism cuts both ways' leaflets... Hundreds possible, and the bins were full. The Isle of Wight is somewhere politically that the BNP could easily sneek in councillors. A very unpopular Tory party replaced a very unpopular Libdem party last time and Labour have no footing whatso ever...small parties and independents stand to make a killing at next years elections. Local propaganda (nativities banned, Englishness undermined) has already started on council forums. There is a massive opposition but it is unorganised and deigned un-needed by an unknowing majority
