The event, a forum for young and first time voters, at the Eastbourne Centre on the seafront on Wednesday night (March 17) has now been axed because of the controversy.
The BNP has Colin Poulter standing as its parliamentary candidate in Eastbourne
ready for when Gordon Brown calls the long-awaited election and Mr Poulter was originally invited to attend the forum.
But the invitation was withdrawn after it was revealed the Unite union, which owns the venue, told organisers the BNP was not welcome – and now the event has been cancelled altogether.
Andy Frampton, the Unite regional secretary said, "Unite will not give a platform to the far right, British National Party. The members of our union fight every day against extremism and campaign for equality and fairness across society, it is wholly justified that the planned conference was cancelled.
VOTE BNP AND LET EVERYONES VOICE BE HEARD

Quote: Andy Frampton, "campaign for equality and fairness across society"......hmm really, when he as just shown the opposite.
