Eddie Izzard flew into London yesterday from a sell-out tour of Canada and took the Tube straight to Barking to join the battle against the BNP.
The comedian, 48, urged voters to “banish the Nazis forever” as he handed out leaflets supporting the Mirror’s Hope Not Hate campaign. He said: “The BNP are out to scare people in this area with all sorts of lies.”
The BNP already has 11 seats on the local council and Eddie said it “was a worry” they might secure more. Leader Nick Griffin is standing against Labour’s Margaret Hodge for the seat.
Retired Dagenham Ford plant worker Jim McDermott, 73, hugged Eddie and told him: “Good luck to you.”
