Protesters descend on leader of BNP

Anti-BNP protesters have stopped the party's leader Nick Griffin from entering the Euro election count in Manchester.

Placard waving demonstrators surrounded a number of cars - one of which was thought to be carrying Mr Griffin - when they arrived at Manchester Town Hall.

The cars, one of which apparently had a window broken, drove away without anyone getting out.

Several dozen protesters had gathered outside the town hall to await the count.

Mr Griffin is hoping to become the far-right BNP's first MEP in the EU-wide election.
