A FORMER teacher and British National Party activist was arrested following a St George’s Day march.

Adam Walker, from Spennymoor, County Durham, was arrested on Saturday in connection with driving and public order offences.

The alleged incidents happened after members of Spennymoor English Cultural Society met to celebrate St George’s Day. The group earlier marched through the centre of Spennymoor, before moving on to the Green Tree pub, Tudhoe, where Mr Walker was arrested.

He was later released on bail by Durham Police pending inquiries.

The Spennymoor English Cultural Society parade was organised by BNP member Pete Molloy.
