Use your vote on June 4th

(1/6/09) This Thursday, every union member will be given the chance to stop the BNP and the politics of hate by voting in the European elections."We love Britain precisely because of its tolerance and diversity," said UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis."The British National Party and its allies are a threat to everything that makes us proud of this country we love," he warned.
UNISON branch members set up a sign up board to keep out the BNP in Chard, Somerset.The BNP's record is clear: its 2001 manifesto wanted mixed race relationships to be outlawed and for any black person who commits a crime to be thrown out of the country, even those who were born here. Nick Griffin, the leader of the BNP, was found guilty of inciting racial hatred in 1998. He denies that the Holocaust ever took place and believes that Jews are conspiring against white British people. Griffin has previously described the BNP as "a strong, disciplined organisation with the ability to back up its slogan 'Defend Rights for Whites' with well-directed boots and fists. When the crunch comes, power is the product of force and will, not of rational debate."The BNP is working hard to conceal its extremism because it knows that people in Britain totally reject the politics of racism and hatred. But a vote for the BNP is a vote against everything that makes this country great, said Mr Prentis."We are determined to vote on 4 June: please join us in voting for a great Britain."Use your vote on June 4
