NF organiser Martin Webster in 1976.
Same fascist fuckwits. Only the haircuts have changed.
And maybe he wouldn't get an escort of 3000 police these days.

He's certainly capable of making a bigger tit of himself.
We need a properly managed pan-London bike hire scheme so all Londoners can benefit from convenient active travel across the Capital. This public health ‘miracle pill’ can’t be hobbled by motor-normative councillors competitively posturing to respond to a moral panic about people riding bicycles.
By coming together on 28 March, we’ll finally move the dial on racism in this country.
Will you help us?

Malta lies on one of the most important migratory routes between Europe and Africa. The birds targeted locally are part of a shared natural heritage that belongs to all Europeans. Decisions taken here have continent-wide consequences.

Founder Red Saunders: ‘We peeled away the Union Jack to reveal the swastika’. RAR grew from Hoxton fanzine roots to 1978’s huge antifascist carnival in Victoria Park, featuring X-Ray Spex, Steel Pulse and The Clash, whose rock star charisma and gale-force conviction took RAR’s message to the masses.
White Riot blends fresh interviews with queasy archive footage to recreate a hostile environment of anti-immigrant hysteria and National Front marches. As neo-Nazis recruited the nation’s youth, RAR’s multicultural punk and reggae gigs provided rallying points for resistance....
Still up to rent from BFI.
"Rubika Shah’s energising film charts a vital London protest movement. #RockAgainstRacism (RAR) was formed in 1976, prompted by ‘music’s biggest colonialist’ Eric Clapton and his support of racist MP Enoch Powell.

Across the UK and globally, the far right is spreading narratives of hate. These narratives people for crises they did not create. But scapegoating does nothing to fix what is broken. (1/🧵)
Aerial view of Central London featuring a light beige rectangular overlay. The overlay contains the text: "Start Point Announced - Park Lane, Central London - 28th March @ 12pm" in bold print and red handwritten style. Below is the logo "Together Against the Far Right." The background shows a detailed view of streets, buildings, and green park areas.
The image displays a message in bold letters against a black background. The text reads, "Unity is stronger than division," with "Unity" in large pink font and the rest in white.
We will not be divided.

Took one back to Waterstone's w/out a receipt y'day, & when they asked why, I said it was rubbish. I'd only just begun to explain why when they gave me my money back.
Closes today. I kept putting it off because it looked long & detailed, but took me 20 mins. It helps to know what you think, of course.

"Lord Jim" O'Neill is just some random bloke in a pub the BBC gets to come on the radio & rabbit on whenever there's an economic crisis.
A fabulous golden fluffy fly sits on a nice fresh soggy cowpat.
Scathophaga stercoraria or Yellow Dungfly. ‘Yellow’ just doesn’t do it justice. It’s a glorious, fabulous gold and if it was a small mammal everyone would want one as a pet. They’re so fluffy!
