“They have nothing to offer but hatred which will divide the working-class when we should be uniting to fight the cuts and the failed policies of the main parties. The trade union movement should mobilise workers and the community to stop these fascists in their tracks.”
Tommy Black – the Socialist Party’s East Belfast candidate, who will be standing against the BNP – stated:
“The BNP like to pose as defenders of white working-class communities. However, they have time and again used their positions to support the same policies of cuts, privatisation and backing up the bankers as the main parties. For example, in Kirklees they not only voted for Labour’s £400 million cuts – they actually called for the cuts to be increased!”
“In his first year in the European Parliament, their Führer Nick Griffin claimed over £200,000 in expenses on top of his £82,000 salary! This Cambridge-educated fascist is totally out of touch with ordinary workers.”
Working class women are facing the brunt of job losses and the huge cuts in essential public services. Recent reports by the TUC and the UK Women’s Budget group make grim reading as they paint a devastating picture that the recession has and will continue to have on the lives of millions of women.
