A planned debate including two British National Party members has been called off after fears of violence.

Durham Union Society (DUS) today announced it had to cancel plans for the debate, entitled This House believes in a Multicultural Britain in Durham City.

Political commentator Kulveer Ranger and Tory MP Edward Leigh would have proposed the motion, while BNP MEP Andrew Brons and Leeds BNP councillor Chris Beverley would have spoken in opposition.
