A FAR-RIGHT political group sent out leaflets urging people to confront a Wallasey anti-racist campaigner in his own home in what one local MP condemned as the “politics of intimidation”.

The Liverpool branch of British National Party sent out 20 people, including its local chairman, to deliver leaflets around the neighbourhood where chairman of the Merseyside TUC, Alec McFadden, lives.

Around 2,500 leaflets were delivered last Saturday afternoon at the same time as Mr McFadden was conducting an organised anti-racist rally in Liverpool.

The information contained Mr McFadden’s mobile telephone number, his address and urged people to ring him or call at his door to voice their opinions about the current national issue over “British jobs for British workers.”

The literature was written by the BNP on the back of the current storm of wild-cat strikes taking place over the use of foreign labour at various oil refineries and power stations across the country.

On the official Liverpool BNP website, Mr McFadden has been accused of “exposing himself for betraying the workers he is meant to represent in the TUC."

"Instead of defending British workers,” it said, "he was today holding an anti-racism, anti-BNP march in Liverpool while workers are being made redundant.”

It also says in the leaflet that “if you disagree with his sentiments in the current economic climate you may voice your opinion by telephoning him, or maybe if you’re a good neighbour you can pop around and voice your very friendly opinion to him, face to face!”

“They knew I wouldn’t be in the house,” said Mr McFaddden. “That’s why they chose to do it then. But my daughters were at home, with my youngest celebrating her 12th birthday with friends.”

Mr McFadden, a single parent, was stabbed in May 2006 in front of his then 14-year-old daughter on the doorstep of his home in what he believed was an attack by a fascist sympathiser.

“It is pure intimidation,” said Alec. “These people are hypocritical. The BNP were unhappy last November when names and addresses of members of their party were leaked on an internet site.

“Yet they have deliberately printed my name, address and telephone number and are asking people to confront me in my own home.”

“This is a complete invasion of my privacy and upsetting to my daughters.

“I am an employment law specialist. I have no objection to foreigners coming into this country and doing jobs if they are better skilled. But I do have a problem with employers undercutting British workers and I have had supported action against employers for doing this.

”But I do believe the BNP incite hatred and I don’t believe in this approach, they should not be a legitimate party, they should be banned."

Wallasey MP Angela Eagle said: “I don’t condone the politics of intimidation and I am satisfied that the police are dealing with this appropriately.

"I’m confident the people of Wallasey will not fall for the politics of hate. The BNP have no place here.”

Steven Greenhalge, organiser of the Liverpool BNP Party, said: “The leaflet was put out to let people know at this time we are wanting to protect British workers.

It was also to let people know what we’re really about. Everything in the leaflet is legal, we are not inciting any type of violence.
