More Leafleting in Maryport
More of the Ellenborough-Netherton ward has been leafleted now leaving only half of old Netherton and Pecklewell including Victory Crescent to do.
We've had a lot of positive support and only minimal negative feedback thanks to the man in his underwear shouting profanities at MAR members. We hope to finish the ward as soon as possible.

Successful Leafleting in Brampton
On Sunday 21st January, members of Maryport Against Racism along with roughly 20 other activists leafleted the town of Brampton which was contested by the racist BNP in a County Council byelection. Almost every house in the village was leafleted with nothing but good response from the local people.
The election took place yesterday and the results stood as:
Conservatives 717 votes
Labour 363 votes
BNP 88 votes.
Turnout: 23.3%
Another embarassment for the far right showing that the people of Cumbria don't want fascism.

Leafleting in Maryport
Another day of leafleting went ahead today only this time in our home town Maryport.
Hillside Estate, known locally as Bangla, and Ewanrigg Brow, known locally as shiny row, has been bombarded with leaflets revealing the truth of the far right fascist party the BNP.
As of yesterday we receeved a good response and were even invited into one supporters house. Every house on the estate was leafleted and more leafleting is planned for the rest of Maryport in the next few weeks.

Leafleting in Whitehaven
Several Maryport Against Racism members today travelled to Whitehaven, a town about 20 miles away, to help distribute leaflets about the fascist British National Party who have been active in the town.
The event was a great success with around 1000 leaflets distributed on the Kells and Woodhouse estates, areas that the BNP has recently leafleted. Campaigners got a good reaction from local people on the estate many of who said they had no idea what the BNP was really like.
A number of people also came from Cockermouth, Barrow and Millom to help with the leafleting. Most importantly the majority of these were people who had not been active in campaigning against racism or fascism before.
The turnout for the leafleting was brilliant and it meant we could leaflet the entire of Kells and most of Woodhouse in under two hours. Thanks to everyone who was involved.
Thanks as well to the TUC Northern Region for supplying some of the leaflets.
From this base activists in Whitehaven hope to launch more prominent anti-racist events in the town and build a long-term campaign against racism and the BNP in the town.
