A few years ago during the run up to an election, a friend of mine was delivering Hope not Hate leaflets in one of the BNP's target areas. The BNP bussed in a bunch of their activists from all over the country and rhings got nasty. Ended up with the police having to escort the Hope not Hate leafleters to safety.

There have been numerous incidents involving sudden unexpected beatings of leafletters.

In a speech to his activists, referring to their big push for the North a few years ago, Griffin said (I am paraphrasing, but I htink I get the quote almost right:

"The battle for the hearts and minds of the North will not be won at the ballot box. It will be won on the streets with boots and fists"
