After the demo against the mayoral elections in London, organised by anarchists in London, were clamped down upon - a group of anarchists decided to wander up to see what was happening at City Hall at around 11.30pm.

To our surprise we spotted a crowd of around 30 BNP supporters - some with rosettes - standing next to them we were soon spotted and talk of "red scum" and "dolies" we decided to respond. First against a little fascist twat with a celtic cross badge, then the others joined in - one anarchist was punched in the stomach by a BNP fuckwit but respond quickly with a few kicks, shouting slogans and shoving back.

A BNP TV camera then pointed his camera in our faces, which we grabbed off him - he then launched against us like some maniac! Rosettes when flyering, the celtic cross badge was ripped off and several scuffles broke out.

The FIT team then seperated us and (luckily) escorted us out the area. Unknown to us a larger crowd of masked-up football casuals where about to steam in.

Was it worth it? Fuck yes. Even though we were in small numbers and likely for a kick off we stood strong and stood our ground. It was a shame we weren't in larger numbers.
