A British National Party candidate in a Croydon, south London, by-election this month was an animal rights activist who served a prison sentence for a campaign of terror against an animal research laboratory.
Charlotte Lewis,is backing British National Party (BNP) candidate Peter North in the by-election for a Sutton Council seat on July 4, was jailed for six months in 2001 after being found guilty of four charges of harassment as part of a concerted campaign against the staff of Huntingdon Life Sciences, whom she called “animal abusing scum”.
Lewis, who was a member of Stop Animal Rights Cruelty, wrote a series of anonymous threatening letters to people working at the Cambridgeshire laboratory. One warned the recipient: “If you don’t quit HLS then your life will not be worth living. You will always have to be looking over your shoulder.” Another threatened: “This is a warning. Your life is in grave danger if you don’t stop working at HLS. You will find yourself having a gun aimed at your stupid ugly head.”
Peterborough Crown Court heard that Lewis, who today is the London BNP regional treasurer, had “a history of psychological problems and suffers depression”. She was arrested after forensic scientists matched her saliva with DNA found on the back of the stamps used to post the letters.

Croydon Council looks to take action over BNP member's sick boast
Croydon Council is looking to see whether it can take a BNP member to court after she boasted about mounting a hate campaign against a family of immigrants living in the flat above her.
Charlotte Lewis, who earlier this year stood as a candidate in the Waddon by-election, told a meeting of British National Party members she played loud music late into the night - which may have contributed to the Afghan family moving out. The comments were made at a meeting in east London to celebrate the party's showing in the recent European elections.
Addressing party members at a pub in Dagenham, she said: "I don't think they could take any more of my penchant for playing heavy metal at 1am."

i would also like to raise the question of why this is important news?
as both an anti-fascist and an animal rights activists, i wonder what possitive effect can be had by focusing on this.
the people involved with the BNP wouldn't dare attend and animal rights meetings/demos/ect.
animal rights has always been a strongly anti fascist movement, and more recently has been dominated by veganarchists (vegan anarchists whom consider animal and human rights as parallel) and antispeciesists (antispeciesism being a term coined by roots of compassion, adapting the antifa symbol as a flag.)
yes their are fascist animal rights activists, their is also animal abusing anti-fascists.
we need to avoid playing into the hands of the state and dividing.
we need to work together to destroy all forms of oppression, because it is all linked.
