Campaign to stop BNP gets underway
Anti-fascists will be trying to gain support within the town by holding an information stand in Hastings town centre on Saturdays.
Members of Hastings Unite Against Fascism are gearing up to campaign against the British National Party in the forthcoming local and national elections.
And they will be hoping to convince passers-by to join their fight.
A spokesman for the group said: "With the elections coming up, we aim to get the 'Don't vote BNP' message across to as many people as possible and a regular stall will help us achieve this."
The group is also planning to protest outside planned hustings events which include BNP parliamentary hopeful Nick Prince.
The spokesman added: "We do not believe anybody should debate with them."
Members will be in the town centre from 10.30am every Saturday for the forseeable future.
