Thank you for taking such a strong stand against BNP activities in York.

Whatever "issues" BNP members peg their campaigns on, the BNP is a racist organisation dedicated to fostering hatred between us.

Last week Anthony Walker's killers were sentenced and Archbishop John Sentamu began his mission in York. The two events starkly illustrate the choice we face: the brutal tragedy of racism; or the joy and hope of learning to live and work together.
