Oppose the NF in Bermondsey!

Please forward and publicise this call:
On Saturday 20th April (Hitler's Birthday) the fascist National Front are planning on marching through Bermondsey. This is to publicise the new Bermondsey branch of the NF and to "celebrate" St George's Day (23rd). This is a call out to mobilise all anarchist and anti-fascist grassroots groups to join us and mobilise against the NF to prevent them from marching.
We do not intend to merely stand at the roadside with "lollipops" chanting slogans and selling papers, we believe in using direct action to prevent the NF from marching through Bermondsey and intend to enforce a policy of "no platform". We have been inspired by the way in which anti-fascists in Europe have prevented fascist marches and intend to use their tactics. We want to make our presence felt and we want to show people that there is a way of fighting fascism.
Whilst we believe that the only effective way of fighting fascism is to build a revolutionary alternative, we cannot stand by and do nothing when they try to march. The NF intends to "control the streets" of Bermondsey and to stop them from doing this they must be opposed physically. A large mobilisation of militant anti-fascists would deeply embarrass the NF in the run up to the May elections and would alienate them from the local community.
We will be meeting at South Bermondsey station from 11am on Saturday 20th April. Please bring your friends, red and black flags and anything else you think might be useful.
We are not a party-political organisation or a front group; we are a collective of militant anti-fascists.
