Anti-BNP rally set for Friday

OLDHAMERS are being invited to a rally in the heart of the borough’s Asian community aimed at stopping the BNP winning seats at the North-West Euro elections in June.

The anti-fascist magazine Searchlight is behind the “Hope Not Hate” event which takes place at the Millenium Centre, Featherstall Road North, Westwood, between 7 and 8.30pm on Friday.

The meeting will be addressed by MPs Michael Meacher and John Cruddas, as well as other national and local politicians.

Nick Lowles, from Searchlight magazine, will also be present.
