Stockport Peace Forum aims to help increase our understanding of the causes of conflicts and tensions, both locally and in the wider world. One way to promote peace and harmony in the community is to bring together people and groups from all backgrounds, and if you share this way of thinking you may want to join in the work of the Forum. Here are some contacts for you.  Don't be shy, give them a call or click HERE to visit their website:

There is no room for complacency in a Ward that fields BNP candidates at election time.  Even one BNP Councillor can be harmful.  Why?  They say things that sound friendly and concerned. But the BNP believes that all non-whites should be deported or at least dis-enfranchised; that women should be at home rearing children.  They oppose mixed-race relationships; they oppose women's right to choose; they believe the Irish Republic should be brought back into British control. Their leader says that the chimneys from the gas chambers at Ausschwitz are fake, built after the war ended as part of Allied propaganda.

The Labour Party promotes hope, not hate.  We say: 'let's stand together and say NO to hatred spread by the BNP'.  If you are worried that their noxious influence could spread to your neighbourhood, contact Labour 4 Manor and get involved in our anti-BNP campaigning.
