Glasgow BNP took to the streets of Springburn on Saturday with an impressive 14 activists taking part. A number of these people had never been on the street before and it is to the credit of Charlie Baillie, our energetic and dynamic organiser and candidate, that these volunteers were encouraged to take part in what may prove to be an historic campaign; certainly one that will prove to be the highlight of the year in Scotland.

A stall was set up complete with BNP flag in the heart of Milton which is a large council ward within the constituency. Three teams were organised to leaflet houses in the area and one team remained to man the stall. The exceptional good weather was a godsend and morale amongst the activists was very high. This meant that the area was covered quickly and after some two hours we moved to Saracen Street in the Possil Park area. The stall was set up at a busy junction and while a number of activists remained at the stall another group went walkabout distributing leaflets and the VoF to members of the public. Charlie Baillie addressed the passers-by with the megaphone and this drew a great deal of attention to us.

Sunday was a busy day for the team as well. A number of activists leafleted in the constituency on a door to door basis. Hard graft but worth the effort.

The Truth Truck will be making an appearance any day from now on and we expect to generate considerable interest in this by-election with our high-profile activities.

If you can help us in any way please contact Glasgow campaign manager Walter Hamilton 07717774730 walterhamilton@btinternet.com

On the return trip from the recent AC meeting in England I dropped in with Clive Jefferson to view the new NW office. The team that carried out all the work in getting the office up and running have carried out a first rate job and are to be congratulated on their hard graft.

Clive went over the campaign for the Glasgow by-election and how it should be run, this all depends on getting feet on the street of course, if you can get involved please contact our candidate Charlie Baillie who will be grateful to receive any offers of help.

Before leaving Clive made sure the car was loaded up with election material to take back up the road, which will be dropped off to the Glasgow team at this weekends Scottish officials meeting, where the strategy for fighting this and future elections will be discussed, expect a call from your local organiser over the next few weeks as we rally the troops to aid the campaign.
