Thread Name: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
Subject: RE: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
I was at the Folk Against Fascism launch and found it inspiring!Thanks to all the musicians and others involved. Also I was very pleased that it was in the official programme so was well publicised!

As for Steve Harris and his comments above I would say ....you need to get out a bit more ...read up on the BNP and its roots in the vile and thuggish National Front...while you are at it find out about the earlier British Fascists like Oswald Moseley and his blackshirts.
While you are delving into that history read up [or even talk to eyewitnesses ] about the anti fascist struggles in the past.

The anti fascist slogan "Never Again!" is still as relevant as ever...no platform for nazis means on the cultural as well as the political stage!
