Leicester will be the death of the EDL

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 20:05:54 +0000

After getting well and truly battered in Bradford the EDL think that they will rally their troops in Leicester. They hope to forge an unlikely alliance of Sikhs, Hindus and white supremacists against the "muzzies". This will fail and Leicester's strong Asian community will make sure they are sent packing.

Anti-fascism in Spain: The relevance to today's st

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:28:22 +0000

The recent series of Nottingham events commemorating the struggles of those who fought Franco's fascism in Spain has, rightfully, received a lot of attention from local anarchists and socialists. However, what have often been missing from these explorations of history are attempts to examine the relevance of the Spanish experience to contemporary social struggles. It is certainly inspiring and informative to dig into the history books, watch the films and celebrate the lives and deaths of those who fought for freedom from fascism, but there are lessons to be learned that might inform our current activism.
