We had a terrific q&a session in Keighley last night.
So firstly, thanks to Churches Together for organising and hosting the event.
Secondly, thanks to all the more than a hundred people who turned up to hear the candidates. The questions were wide-ranging and thought-provoking covering topics such as abortion and euthanasia to the economy and Lib Dem tax policies.
With the announcement that two far-right parties have joined the fray, I am more than glad that they weren't there last night. They are vile and obnoxious and not at all welcome in Keighley or anywhere else.
Especially as yesterday was the anniversary of the death of Blair Peach in 1979.
Peach was a New Zealand-born teacher and a committed anti-racism activist, who died as a result of police action on an Anti-Nazi League march against the racist National Front.
More than thirty years on, no-one has been charged with his murder, although there were at least eleven eyewitnesses.
We want justice.
RIP Blair.
