The battle for Barking begins

Nazi Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP, has declared that he will stand in the east London seat of Barking in the general election.

Anti-fascists in the area are campaigning to expose his racist lies and maximise the anti-BNP vote.

Many local community groups and trade unionists are backing Unite Against Fascism’s Don’t Vote Nazi campaign.

Activists from across London will be joining a national day of activity in the area on Sunday of next week, leafleting wards with anti-fascist leaflets.

Meet 12 noon, Sunday 24 January, at Dagenham Heathway station.
