Far-right Britain First candidate targets Salford City Council seat in Walkden
23.04.2022 - 10:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A woman representing a far-right group is targeting a seat in Salford City Council after announcing her candidacy for election in the Walkden North ward. Ashlea Simon, Britain First’s chief of staff, will go up against Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dems and Green who are all fighting for the ward.
The announcement has caused concern in some quarters, though. HOPE not hate, an advocacy group which campaigns against racism and facism, say they are not opposed to Britain First standing, as is their right to do so, but claim they are more opposed to how their campaign can bring negativity to the area.
They have said that far-right groups are fielding fewer candidates in the coming election than in recent years to 'focus their resources on seeking bigger results in fewer seats'.

Britain First has been campaigning in various parts of the north, the Midlands, and Wales over the last few months. Ms Simon has been seen in the past campaigning with group leader Paul Golding, who is formerly of the British National Party.
Britain First recently re-registered as a political party, having been de-registered in 2019 for breaching electoral law by failing to declare income. The local elections are coming up on May 5, with 20 seats available in Salford City Council. Ashlea Simon is one of 77 candidates standing for election.
Ms Simon and Britain First have been approached for comment.
