Subject: RE: Refugee Week music
There was a big refugee concert in Hull City centre, loads of people went and it was really nice.
There is loads of stuff going on here at the minute, our local radio station BBC Radio Humberside are doing a good job with there series for refugee week.
Greg-Your city [Stoke] sounds very much like Hull, Most [I would guess well over 90 percent] of the folk here are either welcoming to asylum seekers/refugees, or dont mind either way, BUT, there is a stupid small minority that come out with crap like " them pakis are nicking our jobs".
The BNP had candidates in a few wards here in the recent elections, they did not do very well ! most they got was about 300, in one ward, i cant remember the results off hand , but the winner in that ward had about 25,000 votes. I think the BNP will realise they are wasting there time here, and piss ff back to where they came from!
