RIGHT OFF

Luton has resisted yet another invasion from the BNP when their planned march in the town centre during the military parade last Saturday failed to get off the ground (See SchNEWS 670). Activists from trade unions, Unite Against Fascism, Hope not Hate and others gathered to stamp upon the ugly reared head of the fascist front. Anti-fascist leaflets were dropped liberally, a petition was signed by locals and the march fizzled out. Totalitarian policing was put to good use for a change as the pigs stopped and searched BNP members, persuading them to leave the planned demo.
