Whitehaven Leafleting
Today a few members of Maryport Against Racism along with several members of the public concerned about the presence on the racist BNP in Whitehaven leafleted Harbour Ward in Whitehaven in the run up to the by-election on the 20th September. We had a brilliant response from members of the public most of whom were elderly without any negative responses.
Much of the literature was aimed at national politics such as Europe, defence and foreign affairs which local councillors cannot possibly affect in their capacity as councillor. Other promises they made such as opposing the large scale mosque in Whitehaven is pure fantasy and scare mongering seen as there are no plans to build a large scale mosque in Whitehaven.
One of the high points of the day was hearing an announcement made at the nearby Rugby League grounds declaring that Whitehaven Town supports the "Say No To Racism" campaign.
This is only days after the BNP meeting was cancelled at the last minute in a local pub without the BNP being told after a modest number of local residents and anti-racism campaigners began protesting outside the venue.
Whitehaven has a proud working class history and Maryport Against Racism are positive that they will reject the anti-working class and racist agenda of the BNP.

Leafleting In Wigton
A successful day of leafleting went ahead today in Wigton where Cumbrian organiser of the fascist BNP is standing on the 3rd of May.
We covered every house on Greenacres estate without receiving any negative feedback whatsoever. The leaflet we delivered was showing the uselessness of the BNP as councillors although we could only show a few examples on an A5 piece of paper.
Maryport Against Racism will be carrying out further leafleting in the run up to the election on Thursday.
Use your vote to stop the fascist BNP on May 3rd.

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.

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.
