He said: "It's to show Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson and his racist views are not welcome in our town.”

“A violent, racist thug preying on the problems working people face in our town, offering no solutions to the issues, only hate.

“Regardless if you voted leave or remain we must stand up to racism and show via the ballot box it has no place in our society.
