North East conference

Just travelled back down to London following successful Hope not Hate Conference up in the North East.

It was a joint effort between the TUC and Labour party and we had well over a hundred people participating.

Twenty BNP picketed the event- says a lot that: a picket against an event billed as being against hatred.

All in all a good days work- lots of detailed planning for local organisation in the region, but also a very positive feel amongst the people there.

No BNP councillors in the region and a real commitment to keep it that way. All power to their elbow.
