THE BNP took to the streets of Halesowen this weekend to demand the withdrawal of British troops from Afganistan.

The far right organisation handed out ‘Bring Our Boys Home’ leaflets from their Union Jack bedecked stall in the town centre on Saturday.

The party also collected donations and gave out information packs.

BNP organiser Robert Weale said: “Hardly anyone had a bad word to say, or was derisory about the British National Party, and indeed, three people amongst those who came to show their support, were in fact, card carrying members.

“The amount of people who were BNP voters was also encouraging, and topics ranging from the war, to crime, immigration, and the economy were all discussed.”
