Racism and anti-fascism

ANTI-FASCISTS marched through the East End of London on Remembrance day to protest against the rise of racist attacks and the danger of the growth of fascism. It was the largest such demonstration for some time. Even the police estimated 4,000.

The demonstration included a large number of left wing organisations. The local labour movement was also well represented. Marchers were confident. despite police attempts to stamp out protest. There wore few arrests, showing the importance of experienced stewarding.

Most encouraging was the turn-out of a large number of the Asian community to watch the demonstraton and show support.

The demonstration was a step forward for anti-fas cists. but the left should learn from the past - a united campaign is needed. French fascist visits Britain BNP SMASH NAZIS OFF OUR STREETS Fascist * welcome hert Action IGHT RACISM BLAGA AND WHILE
