BNP not ITA in Crawley, West Sussex
Today the BNP in Crawley, who have recently gained branch status, were prevented from holding a pre-arranged press conference at Crawley railway station.
A photo-op of them canvassing in the two wards where they are standing in May’s local election, Ifield and Southgate, also failed to materialise due to pressure from local anti-fascists.
