Anti-fascist demo - 26th Nov - Oxford 'Remember Carlo!'

(A) Sab | 21.11.2007 22:46 | Anti-racism | London | Oxford

CALLING ALL ANTI FASCISTS!!!

On Monday the 26th of November, BNP leader Nick Griffin and proffesional holocaust denier (and discredited historian) David Irving will be giving a talk in Oxford.
There will be a demo outside the Oxford Union (see their website for directions) starting at 7pm.
Last week, Carlo, a young anti-fascist was killed in action by a nazi in Madrid. Solidarity demos have been taking place all over Europe. Lets remember him by getting down to Oxford and forming a strong and militant anti-fascist presence to let these murdering nazi bastrads know how we feel about Carlos death!
See you there.

NO PASSARAN!

Oxford activists could do with the support

Great!
A bunch of us oxford activists also intend to create an uncompromising presence on the Unite Against Fascism demo, and thought it’d be the perfect place to highlight Carlos’s murder, the tragedy of border control and other dangers of fascism. It’d be great to have more numbers

Also, the wannabe-politician losers at the apex of the university’s student union hierarchy will unfortunately most likely be feeding off the controversy. If people come up with any other ways we can shame them for inviting the fascists, we can chat about that at the demo.

Oxygen for the BNP

Don't you think that big demos trying to stop the BNP from speaking will give them public sympathy?
If the event was largely ignored it wouldn't get much press interest.

Don't agree at all i'm afraid. Get yourselves down there and show your disgust at the BNP policies and rhetoric.

Cable Street

Let's revisit the spirit of Cable Street and stop the fash from entering Oxford university just like we did for Oswald Mosley's blackshirts when the people of the East End united against the nazis.....

Being invited as official speakers gives the Holocaust-denying anti-Semitic and Islamophobic scumbags a credibility they don't deserve.

We must not rest until losers like Griffin and Irving are "doing bird" at a nearby prison, and possibly sharing the same cell. Perhaps these racists and homophobes will fall in love, and rediscover their sexualities.

The Truth about Cable Street

07.12.2007 00:53

Just to enlighten everyone about what really happened that day.

A Special Branch police report of November 1936 concluded 3 :

"The general cry was that the entire population of East London had risen against Mosley and had declared that he and his followers should not pass and that they did not pass owing to the solid front presented by the workers of East London. This statement is, however, far from reflecting accurately the state of affairs.
There is abundant evidence that the BUF has been steadily gaining ground in many parts of East London and it has strong support in such districts as Stepney, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Hackney and Bow. There can he no doubt that the unruly element in the crowd was very largely Communist-inspired. A number of well-known active communists were seen at, or near, points where actual disorder occurred. While attempts by the Communist Party to raise enthusiasm over the 'Fascist defeat' were comparative failures the BUF, during the week following the banning of their march, conducted the most successful series of meetings since the beginning of the movement.

In Stepney, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Stoke Newington and Limehouse, crowds estimated at several thousands of people (the highest being 12,000) assembled and accorded the speakers an enthusiastic reception; opposition was either non-existent or negligible and no disorder took place".

Ten days after this infamous confrontation between the communists and the police, the BUF did march effectively through the East End.
