The cemetery this morning. Amazing job done by the community last night to clean up. In past 2 hrs people from all backgrounds have been to the Muslim section laying flowers, praying and showing solidarity. This is Burnley, we will not allow those who look to sow hatred divide us

The individuals behind this do not represent the people of this town, the club or our supporters.
I am proud of the quick response from the club & captain Ben Mee.

Gary Neville:
"The standard of leaders in this country over the last couple of years has been poor. And looking at that man there (Gareth Southgate) he’s everything a leader should be, respectful, humble, tells the truth, genuine, he's fantastic."

This sort of rhetoric is what you would expect from the BNP & UKIP. Desperate ploy targeting refugees to distract from their own failings and 12 years of incompetence. This too from an MP of a town where we have worked tirelessly to tackle hate and build bridges
