BBC REPORT: Thirty three people have been arrested
following protests at a British National Party (BNP) festival being
held in Derbyshire.
Six
arrests were made after about 40 demonstrators clashed with riot police
outside the BNP's annual Red, White and Blue event taking place in
Denby.
Further
arrests were made as protesters dispersed in Heanor, police said.
About
250 officers, including some armed with batons were deployed, as well
as dogs and a force helicopter.
Earlier some 700 (eye-witness reports say
near 200) demonstrators from Unite Against Fascism, the TUC and Unison
took part in a march from the nearby village of Codnor.
