بريطانيا: حملة يمينية لمعارضة تحويل خمارة لمدرسة إسلامية

نظم الحزب القومي البريطاني اليميني المتطرف حملة كبرى بمدينة "نيوكاسل" البريطانية للحيلولة دون تحويل إحدى الخمارات التاريخية إلى مدرسة ومركز إسلاميين.

ورغمًا عن عدم حصول الحزب اليميني على تصريح من البرلمان لشن حملته, إلا أن أعضاء الحزب بدؤوا في توزيع المنشورات بين سكان المنطقة, وقام آخرون بجمع أكبر قدر من التوقيعات لمعارضة المشروع في ظل استغلال الحزب لموقع "فيس بوك" الشهير للترويج لحملته بين صفوف الجماهير.

Newcastle BNP Gathers Up 100 More Signatures in “Burka Grove” Campaign

Newcastle British National Party held another stall in Benwell, west Newcastle on Tuesday this week and gathered well over a hundred more signatures for their "Say No to Burka Grove" campaign, which has been running since Saturday.

The campaign is against the turning of the historic Benwell Towers, also known as the Mitre, into an "Islamic school and cultural centre."

Some activists collected signatures from passers-by while others were out delivering leaflets with petition forms to local houses.

"The response today has been excellent," said Dorothy Brooke, who was the BNP's candidate for Tynemouth in this year's general election.

"Lots of people knew about the campaign already, even though it's only a few days old, and many of them asked for petition forms to take back home for family members."

Several hundred leaflets were given out on the day, but there are thousands more to be distributed to the local area.
