Vote to stop the BNP
I was pleased to see the editor of the Craven Herald in his editorial this week echoing points I made in a letter to the paper the previous week (scroll down to 'fascism threat').

North Yorkshire County Council Elections June 4th 2009
This June we are contesting all seven seats in the Craven area in the North Yorkshire County Council elections.
Your Labour candidates are:
James Austin - Ribblesdale
Robert Battison - South Craven
James Black - Mid Craven
Christine Brackley - North Craven
Graeme Hitchen - Airedale
Peter Madeley - Skipton West
Duncan Hall - Skipton East
Please pose questions to any of our candidates in the comments section below and we will endeavour to answer you as soon as possible.
This year we are standing on:
· Protecting our environment
· Improving public transport and road safety
· Excellent education for all and fair access
· Commitment to recycling
· Sound finances and responsible local government
We urge everybody to vote in the County Council and European elections. A low turnout helps the fascist BNP.
