HOPE not hate Scotland

HOPE not hate Scotland was launched in September 2009 in response to demand. We already have over 5,600 Scots signed up online receiving our E-bulletins with up to date information about what is happening nationally and at a local level.

The BNP operate by stirring up racial tensions and religious intolerance in local communities. They should not be allowed to operate unchallenged and how we respond is crucial in winning hearts and minds in our local communities.

The HOPE not hate Scotland website should become a source of information for all those concerned about the rise of far right nationally and throughout Europe. We want to make sure that there is a network operating in Scotland that can share information and act locally when the BNP or others aim to spread their hate and create divisions amongst us.

You can pass us information about far right activity in your local community. We rely on people on the ground to send us copies of leaflets being circulated and to tell us as soon it is known that a by-election is in the offing where the BNP, for example are likely to stand candidates. more ...
