A GROUP of BNP supporters was accused of hurling abuse over a loudspeaker after gathering outside the home of a former Lord Mayor of Liverpool .
Labour Cllr Steve Rotheram hit out at the BNP’s tactics which he said left one of his two teenage daughters shaken.
Cllr Rotherham said the group also pointed cameras and video recorders at his home in Aintree.
His home was being used as the Labour party HQ during a by-election in the Fazakerley ward of the city.
The by-election was called to fill the vacancy caused by the death of veteran Councillor Jack Spriggs.
Speaking later Cllr Rotheram said: “I have always known that these are particularly nasty people.
“But this has really opened my eyes about how bitter and twisted they can be.”
But he said Labour would not be intimidated.
