LSA activist Mike Marqusee kicked off the proceedings, endorsing comrade Bennett's candidacy by reference to his "real track record in the community" and underlining the strength of a campaign waged by existing activists with the recent experience of the GLA elections behind them.

Weyman Bennett, the Joint Secretary of the UAF said the objective of the organisation’s conference is to expose the BNP as a fascist party who is manipulating British citizens to vote for them.
