NF to mobilise in Leicester. Anti-fascist rally called.

Urgent action vs NF mobilisation, Leicester, Saturday 1st June

On Saturday 18th May, the National Front held a paper sale/leafletting
session on Gallowtree Gate, Leicester. In response to this, a succesful
anti-fascist rally was called for the following Saturday (25th May).

The NF did not attempt a repeat of the previous week's activity although
seven of them were spotted in a city centre pub. The various
groups/individuals who were part of the anti-fascist rally remained at the
Clock Tower until it was clear that the NF would not attempt any kind of
action.

However, we have serious information that this Saturday (1st June) the
NF will again be attempting a sale/leafletting excercise. If this is true
they will undoubtedly mobilise from a wider area in to get greater
numbers out. In order to counter this, another anti-fascist gathering is
being organised from 11:30am at the Clock Tower, Leicester City Centre with
all community members and anti-racism groups being asked to attend.

It is possible that the NF will not appear on Saturday, however we must
mobilise ourselves to actively show them that they are not welcomed by the
people of Leicester and that we will not accept them in our community.
