The leader of the British National Party is coming to Hastings tonight and people seem polarised by the visit.
A record number of people visited our website this weekend to read about Nick Griffin's planned visit - with more than 40 letting their feelings known by leaving comments.
Many of these messages were actually in support of the BNP leader but a large number of them were left by people from outside the town - with people as far away as Cumbria and Torquay posting comments.
On Monday morning the website's poll, Is Nick Griffin, BNP chairman, welcome in Hastings?, showed a different story - with 74 per cent of people voting no.
Fred Jones, of Mount Road, was in support of the visit. He emailed in to say: "Debating the BNP in terms of Hitler, the Holocaust and racism is an easy option, creating a smokescreen to hide an inability to argue away BNP core policies – policies based on preserving our traditional culture and identity, which most normal British people support."
Another reader, giving her name only as Wendy, said: "I think it is a little hypocritical for
the main parties to seek to
deny the BNP a platform. By so doing the old parties come across as being more fascists than the BNP or Nick Griffin.
"Since the BNP contests elections and helps pay for their administration by paying deposits in parliamentary seats it should be granted the same rights as all other parties.".....article conts (-)
