Not in my city, not in my street, not in BURNGREAVE

Last Spring, the Messenger printed an article about the danger of the BNP gaining votes through people not turning out to vote in the European elections.

Unfortunately the BNP did gain 2 MEP seats, mostly due to the fact that the Labour vote collapsed, rather than the BNP gaining more votes.

However this has given the BNP the resources and confidence to pose as a legitimate, respectable party. They are not – they are racist, as proved in a recent court case. In Sheffield, the BNP intend to stand 16 council candidates and 4 parliamentary candidates.

Local Unite Against Fascism (UAF) groups are springing up all over Sheffield. In the Brightside and Hillsborough constituencies, there have been door-to-door and shopping centre leafleting sessions.

Can you help out at the next local session? Meet on Ellesmere Green on • 27th March from 11am – 1pm • 13th April at 5pm • 17th April 1-3pm

Look out for future events in Burngreave and Firth Park and – most importantly –

Use your vote to oppose the BNP.
