It’s been a busy and tiring morning for the HOPE not hate campaign as we took delivery of 1.8 million newspapers and leaflets. We have produced 23 editions of a tabloid newspaper, customised to local areas, 800,000 copies of a 12-page women’s magazine and 600,000 general anti-BNP leaflets.
There will be more leaflets and newspapers to come over the next few weeks but in the meantime we are working hard to get the material into the hands of our local groups and then out through letterboxes.
In another clear indication that the BNP is misusing or at least misdirecting its EU facilities to assist in its general and local election campaign the party has just announced that it is circulating 500,000 leaflets in the North West over the next few weeks. Half of this amount, 250,000, is being posted at taxpayers’ expense through the Royal Mail to its key local authority and parliamentary targets.
Given that the elections are a few weeks away this is a clear attempt to deliver another party leaflet into the homes of voters in their key target areas.
Yesterday we launched a letter-writing campaign to protest at BNP misuse of taxpayers’ money. As I write this now over 18,000 letters have been sent.
