Nine anti-fascists not guilty!

Jo Makepeace | 03.10.2011 15:28

At 4.15 p.m today all nine defendants in the Welling Blood&Honour case were found not guilty of conspiracy to violent disorder.


After 2 1/2 years on bail, the second trial of anti-fascists accused of conspiracy to violent disorder following a fight with Blood&Honour skinheads in Welling London ended with all nine receiving unanimous 'not guilty' verdicts. The jury at Blackfriars Crown Court was out for just over an hour. Two others accused had their charges dropped at the start of the trial.

A spokesman for the defendants told SchNEWS exclusively "We're now going to get completely pissed'

The seven found guilty in the first trial still need your support - for details please go to

What happened was 1 person punched a Nazi in self defence and 23 people were arrested and 6 jailed. You ever been on a night out and seen one guy fighting with someone and thought "this countries fucked if him and everyone he's rang over the past 3 weeks goes to jail". You're a bit of a weirdo if you do, otherwise you're a Nazi sympathiser. Maybe the men and women of cable street were just a bunch of trouble makers and the Blackshirts were innocent victims?
