BNP Target Wallasey "Do-Gooder" - 4th Feb 2009 11:22pm
Quote
A FAR-RIGHT political group sent out leaflets urging people to confront a Wallasey anti-racist campaigner in his own home in what one local MP condemned as the “politics of intimidation”.
The Liverpool branch of British National Party sent out 20 people, including its local chairman, to deliver leaflets around the neighbourhood where chairman of the Merseyside TUC, Alec McFadden, lives.
The information contained Mr McFadden’s mobile telephone number, his address and urged people to ring him or call at his door to voice their opinions about the current national issue over “British jobs for British workers.”
On the official Liverpool BNP website, Mr McFadden has been accused of “exposing himself for betraying the workers he is meant to represent in the TUC."
"Instead of defending British workers,” it said, "he was today holding an anti-racism, anti-BNP march in Liverpool while workers are being made redundant.”
It also says in the leaflet that “if you disagree with his sentiments in the current economic climate you may voice your opinion by telephoning him, or maybe if you’re a good neighbour you can pop around and voice your very friendly opinion to him, face to face!”
Mr McFadden, a single parent, was stabbed in May 2006 in front of his then 14-year-old daughter on the doorstep of his home in what he believed was an attack by a fascist sympathiser.
Steven Greenhalge, organiser of the Liverpool BNP Party, said: “The leaflet was put out to let people know at this time we are wanting to protect British workers.
It was also to let people know what we’re really about. Everything in the leaflet is legal, we are not inciting any type of violence.
