TWAFA - Tyne and Wear Anti Fascist Association

BNP regional organiser, Kevin Scott, fields 17 British National Party (BNP) candidates for June 2004 local elections.

Gateshead is an area with a very strong and well established Jewish community. Scott and many of the remaining leadership of the BNP, including party head Nick Griffin, deny the reality of the Holocaust in Germany during the Nazi Third Reich.

So, Scott and friends, the death of 6 million Jews at the hands of the Nazis didn’t really happen? - Fascism and Holocaust Denial: Holocaust Denial

With candidates fielded in every ward, the BNP has again chosen Sunderland as its main North East target for June’s elections (2004).

Last year’s attempt at gaining a seat on Sunderland Council failed. This year’s stakes are higher - the BNP are fielding 3 additional candidates in June’s Euro elections.
