MARTIN Roberts is to stand for the British National Party in Holy Trinity ward.

He is instantly denounced by the chief executive of Worcestershire Racial Equality Council, Mohammed Aslam, who urges voters "to vote for decency and humanity".

But we are told that Mr Roberts is to campaign on three issues - asylum, high council taxes and crime. So where, Mr Aslam, is the lack of decency and humanity in any candidate (from any political party) who wishes to tackle these three very important issues in a British local election?
