F.A.I.R. to Tackle Upsurge in Anti-White Graffiti in Burnley![]() A council litter bin on Oswald Street in Stoneyholme has been daubed with the message "White Man's Home". It's a stark reminder of the hostility shown towards the ever shrinking white community within Stoneyholme. The message has been on the bin for months, displaying subtle form of intimidation which is left unchecked. Simon Bennett, the BNP's candidate for Brunshaw Ward, is chairman of the local branch of Families Against Immigrant Racism (F.A.I.R.), and he very concerned at the upsurge in anti-White graffiti in Burnley. "We have found that anti-White racism comes in many forms. Commonly it is assaults, bullying, verbal abuse etc, but recently there has been a rise in explicit racist graffiti directed at Burnley's white community. "Anti-White graffiti is not unique to Stoneyhome. It has reared its ugly head on benches and slides in Hart Street Gardens and play area in the Bank Hall ward. "The areas where graffiti appears is where Pakistani or Bangladeshi youths congregate. It's a low level form of threatening behaviour designed to make local Burnley folk feel uneasy and insecure." Simon Bennett has approached the council and asked them to remove the offending graffiti. He also intends to raise the topic at Council Leader, Stuart Caddy's, next surgery. If no action is taken, a team of F.A.I.R. volunteers will clean up the defaced areas and send the council the bill for their work. * If anyone is aware of any form of anti-white racism, including graffiti, then please get in touch with Burnley & Pendle F.A.I.R. on 07719-744-555 or e-mail them at blyandpendfair@talk21.com.
