Leafleting In Cockermouth

Maryport Against Racism members were approached by a group of citizens concerned over the activities of the far right BNP in their town. The BNP are to stand a councillor in Cockermouth for the first time on 3rd May and have been busy leafleting the area with newspapers and other propaganda and also held a stall in the town centre although were forced to pack up due to the rain and lack of interest from locals. A few people from Cockermouth along with Maryport Against Racism managed to produce a counter leaflet revealing the truth about the BNP almost immediately and deliver them to over 800 houses in the All Saints ward of Cockermouth yesterday afternoon where thankfully, the rain held off. There was a good response from members of the public and we were approached by several people asking if there was anything they could do to help.

As long as the BNP are spreading their hate filled lies and half-truths, honest local citizens will be willing to combat it. Cockermouth is a prime example. Use your vote on May 3rd to stop the BNP.
