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.
