A council leader has received death threats after opposing a BNP meeting at a charity-run hall.
It comes after the far-right party compared the Labour-run administration to the ousted Gaddafi regime. The BNP accused Labour-run Hastings Borough Council of prompting a protest at St Baldslow Memorial Hall in St Leonards. The party has now vowed to keep the locations of future Sussex meetings secret.
Simon Darby, BNP spokesman, insisted St Baldslow was just one of a number of venues the party could use in Sussex and Sunday’s event had gone ahead despite protests by more than 200 people. He said: “We have just liberated Libya from a dictator and yet the people of Hastings aren’t allowed to hear views different to the Labour Party. This kind of attitude means we don’t feel comfortable revealing where our meetings could be held because we don’t want hate mail sent to people willing to host us.”
Council leader Jeremy Birch insisted he had responded to residents’ concerns that the charity-run venue might host the BNP. He said: “I have had a few emails over the weekend. One suggested I should be hanged and another compared me to excrement. Far from being a dictatorship this decision was prompted by residents and was backed by the whole council.”
The BNP also complained of resistance to a stall set up by their supporters in Worthing last week. The party claim a man spat at Bognor and Littlehampton organiser John Robinson and attacked the stall.

Simon "I'm not paranoid, everything is a conspiracy against the BNP" Darby either doesn't know his own party's history or would prefer to keep it buried. Not that such a thing is likely with us around, of course.
The Britissh National party & it's members are treated no better than the jews were by the Nazi's. It's a disgrace, how dare you call youselves anti-fascists.
Simon Darby....said: “We have just liberated Libya from a dictator"
A dictator that Griffin and Harrington supported.
'The Britissh National party & it's members are treated no better than the jews were by the Nazi's.'
That is just about the most moronic comment that's ever been posted to Lancaster Unity. You're a fucking idiot.

Thanks for letting this comment through, shows how little these morons know about Nazi Germany... Dear Anon Britissh poster (why do we need to whisper?):
Get an education you ignorant twat.

I would politely suggest the poster of this comment actually learns a little bit about the (Aryan nationalist) origins nature and Chairman of the BNP before pontificating upon us. Fascism comes from the far right and as lefties we oppose fascism. Simples!
'We', I assume he means the British forces did not liberate Libya, the Libyan people did. Another Darby lie, he just cannot help himself can he??
If anyone in the BNP has been the inventor of lies only second to the great racist lie the party were founded upon, it has been Simon Darby. Of course, Muammar Gaddafi, as a fascist nationalist autocrat (putting it nicely) is greatly admired by many BNP members, including the party Chairman himself. Of course Darby would rather you not know that.
He is the latter day Lord Haw-Haw.
Let Nick Prince have his meetings. He is the most boring speaker I have ever heard.
He loves the sound of his own voice and his simple retard girlfried just sits staring into space.
One Nick Prince meeting and never again!
Ps - He is even more more boring than ' I used to be a copper - Mick Barnbrook'.
