Manchester – a clarification

A number of people have contacted me today about the proposed BNP meeting in Manchester Town Hall on Saturday. There appeared to be some confusion about what was actually happening. For the record this event had actually been called off two days ago!

My understanding is that the BNP booked a committee room in the Town Hall on Monday under an obscure name but the true nature of the meeting was almost immediately discovered and the booking was cancelled. This was on Monday. The BNP advertised the meeting on their website on Tuesday afternoon, a good 24 hours after the room had been cancelled.

It is clear that the BNP thought they could wind up people by announcing the booking on their website but unfortunately for them we didn’t fall for their PR stunt.
