Quote of the week: "I used to shoot people like you,"

Spoken by 82-year-old James Murray, a former Royal Engineer who saw service in the Second World War, fighting his way into Nazi German territory in the Allied advance at the end of the war to BNP candidate Charlie Baillie.

The Chase Hotel in Gloucestershire was host to the BNP's fundraising dinner. Protesters were there in force to meet them:

"Up to 100 anti-fascist demonstrators – many from Ross-on-Wye and the Forest of Dean – protested as guests of the BNP's Trafalgar Club arrived for a dinner fundraiser for the extreme right-wing party on Saturday evening. One vehicle was pelted with eggs."

And now the Hotel faces a boycott Facebook campaign. http://lancasteruaf.blogspot.com/2009/10/well-set-dogs-....html

The same happened in Glasgow: "Mr Griffin's day in Scotland had got off to a trying start. In the morning, arriving at the Hamilton radio studios of L107, which had decided to run a phone-in with him, the BNP leader was pelted with eggs by about 40 protesters. The phone-in itself proved to be commercial suicide for the station, which later revealed that at least three advertisers had withdrawn support in protest." http://lancasteruaf.blogspot.com/2009/10/british-no-sho....html
