Basically on 2nd/3rd of December loads of people in Young Labour will be going over to Burnley to campaign against the BNP and return a labour council accompanied by Kitty Ussher MP. It is 10:30-5:30 on the Saturday and 10-4:30 on the Sunday. There is no obligation to go for the whole weekend but accomodation and food will be provided free of charge courtesy of the top people at UNISON labour link. Also there will be a 'red' social on the Saturday night at Burnley FC. It promises to be a great weekend, with plenty of young people for an incredibly worthy cause. If you want to go you need to get back to me ideally by Monday. Email me at gortonclp_youthandstudents@hotmail.co.uk or give me a call or text on 07810 011771. I'll now let Kiran Mahil an ex Gorton CLP member and the current national secretary of labour students explain why this particular regional event is so important.
As Labour people, we believe passionately in equal rights for all. We believe that every citizen has the right to be treated with respect and that discrimination in all its forms is wrong. However, there are some that do not share these values; in fact they threaten their very existence.The BNP, with their divisive message are gaining electoral successes in some areas, particularly in the North West. That's why Labour Students have planned a campaign weekend in Burnley on 2-3 December to ensure that the local residents are aware of the positive work that Labour is doing in their area.So lets have a high turnout from Manchester and show the BNP that them and their divisive message are not welcome in the North West.
