Anti-BNP smear campaign condemned by Trade Union

"A disgrace This is misusing money which would be far better spent to protect jobs from threats like privitization, off-shoring and mass migrant labour. Meddling in party politics at local level to give help New Labour is wrong. Blair and Co. are no friends of working people or of the Unions."

This is the reaction of Patrick Harrington, General Secretary of the independent Trade Union Solidarity to news that some union backers of Tony Blair are bank-rolling a desperate campaign to stem the rising tide of support for the practical, commonsense policies of the British National Party.

A telephone pestering campaign is planned to pressure locals not to vote for the BNP. The callers use a script full of lies. Our advice is to firmly tell them that you are busy and that the ballot is secret for a reason. Don't give out your personal details to these nuisance callers.

As pointed out by Felicity. If you have a call from a telephone canvaser then keep them talking for as long as possible. Even though you will have to listen to them spout a load of lies and nonsense, just think of the money it is costing them to waste your time and their breath and how you are keeping them from talking to a possible swing voter.
