By David Orr, Scottish Regional Organiser - Scotland's British National Party activists were out in force at the weekend, protesting against the current condition of the jobs market and how non-British people are getting employed by major supermarket chains before local people in the area.

We at the British National Party always state that we don't hate any individual; our anger is aimed at the government and the way they are treating local communities.

We had a great response from the public and the 16 activists present on the streets of Bathgate all thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the day and cannot wait to get out and about again!

We handed out leaflets and Voice of Freedom newspapers, and also answered any and all questions put to us by interested passers-by. The constant tooting of car horns going by was a major boost as well; it’s nice to be acknowledged and we all really enjoyed it.

I would also like to thank the local police who were great, they asked me questions to which I answered and they then said to us "have a good day and protest!"
