anti-BNP Leafleting of Corsham. Meet 10:00 am at Corsham Fire Station, Beechfield Road, Corsham, Wiltshire, SN13 9DN
Organised by Wiltshire Trade Unions.

Corsham is a "hot spot" for the BNP in West Country.

i) they have a town councillor there (elected unopposed)
ii) they have a relatively large and active branch
iii) Corsham resident Mike Howson is national youth officer for the BNP
iv) They have announced their intention to stand in the new Chippenham constituency for the general election (which includes Corsham), where the Tories have a black candidate
v) In march this year, they held a regional meeting of 90 BNP activists in Corsham Community Centre

We are hoping to leaflet as much of the town as possible on Saturday May 9th, with a leaflet based upon local intelligence gathering.

Please pass this message on, and encourage other trade unionists to attend on the 9th.

The BNP do have a base there, but it is very fragile and we hope to isolate and demoralise them
