Members of the British National Party (BNP) have been urged to support the anti-Muslim march in Newcastle today.

In a newsletter sent out by the party members were asked to support the march by the anti-Islamification group PEGIDA (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West).

Adam Walker BNP Chairman tells members, “I have decided to give my support to the rally in Newcastle and will be attending with other BNP activists and supporters. I urge you to join us there.

“At a time when the whole of Europe is awakening to the grave danger to the culture, identity and traditions of its individual nations, it is important to stand together against the threat we all face.

“I will be with members from across the country who will stand shoulder to shoulder with patriots from our nation as well as comrades, colleagues and politicians from mainland Europe.”
