NUT members took to the streets of Stoke on Sunday 25 April in a joint action with Unite Against Fascism, and NorSCARF (the North Staffordshire Campaign Against Racism & Fascism) leafleting various wards to warn people of the dangerous inflammatory politics of the BNP.

The city currently has seven BNP councillors and BNP candidates in all of its parliamentary constituencies. NUT deputy general secretary Kevin Courtney addressed the leafleters before they set off.

Stoke-on-Trent div sec Ivan Hickman told The Teacher: "April 25th was a fantastic day. Over 70 members of NorSCARF, UAF and the NUT were able to leaflet two whole wards in Stoke Central Constituency. I would like to thank NUT members from Stoke, Staffordshire, Birmingham, Leicester, Leicestershire, Lancaster and Midlands region office.

"Special thanks must go to Stoke NUT president and NorSCARF secretary Jason Hill for organising us all and it was great to see Kevin there."
