THE Clarke report makes it clear that the far right British National Party has been nothing but bad news for Burnley; targeting minority groups, spreading racism, and encouraging hostility towards Asian people.
Clarke's view of the BNP is shared by the majority of the population, which is why they failed to get any councillors elected in the three recent by-elections.
If Simon Bennett, the BNP spokesman, really welcomes the Clarke report (LET, December 12), he should take its message to heart and stop his organisation's activities in the town immediately.
