TWAFA - Tyne and Wear Anti Fascist Association

Candidte Nigel Batten campaigns aggressively for white power in Britain and like the BNP, aims to harness anti-asylum fears whipped up by national media.

As part of the campaign to elect a far-right MEP from the North East of England, the National Front (NF) organised a march of supporters that took place in Newcastle City Centre on Saturday 17th April 2004.

NE Euro candidate Alan Patterson and BNP Leader Nick Griffin (Euro candidate in the North West) were forced ‘to go underground’, by local protesters, and abandon the launch of their NE Euro campaign.
