Diana Holland, Assistant General Secretary said: "Unite is appalled by the comments made by Nicholas Eriksen on violence towards women. The fact that the BNP have been forced to drop this candidate does not take away from the reality that they are a racist organisation with abhorrent views on women and ethnic minorities. This serves as a clear reminder of what the BNP stand for and why it is so important that they are beaten.
"The union is calling on Londoners to use their vote in the London elections as a clear rejection of the values of the BNP. It is vital that we challenge the horrendous sentiments expressed by the BNP against women and ensure London is a tolerant society. Unite campaign against inequality and discrimination faced by men and women in the workplace."
