repulsive fascist demo leeds

leeds ARA | 08.10.2011 15:06 | Anti-racism

skrewdriver songs played in leeds city centre

around 200 fascists rallied in leeds city centre day, this was an absolute disgrace to multi cultural community of leeds, it would appear that the torrential rain lowered the nazis numbers, anti fascists gathered in leeds city centre armed with leaflets that we gave out to the general public. the nazis gathered outside leeds train station with a P.A system, anti fascist observers were horrified to hear skrewdriver songs blasted out of the PA system, also an Adolf Hitler speech was played, there was one arrest as the nazis threw bananas at black pedestrians and shoppers.

a group of anti fascists attempted to confront the fascists, armed with a pink UAF banner we charged at the nazis, but we were pushed back by the police , the nazis as usual needed police protection, also some MDL were brave enough to confront the NWI, the police appeared to be sympathetic with the fascists, and it is a disgrace that skrewdriver songs were played in leeds city centre in public, the organizers of the event should be arrested and put in prison for playing sickening racially inflammatory material in public, although there was anti fascist counter protest but many felt let down by the UAF leaders who failed to call out significant numbers, three years ago we pulled out a thousand people against the BPP, the next harcore nazi demo is in newcastle, we need to call for a rally against it now.
