BNP props up poll in Leicester

| Friday, 15 July 2005 Source: Searchlight

Fascist involvement in Beaumont Leys goes back to the 1970s when the National Front was very active there and set up various front organisations on the estate. But fascists have never polled well in elections there and scored another failure yesterday when the BNP took less than 10% in a council by-election.
