46 years ago today anti-fascists opposed a National Front march in North London: statement of the protest organiser
On 23rd April 1977 several thousand fascists from the National Front tried to stage a provocative march on a Saturday afternoon down Wood Green High Rd in North London. They were met by a united protest of local people, including local Councillors, socialist and trade unionists.
Below is what march organiser and local Haringey Councillor Jeremy Corbyn had to say:
From Haringey Councillor Jeremy Corbyn on behalf of the organisers of the counter-demonstrations ‘Why did the police allow the National Front to march through the busiest shopping area of North London, an area populated by several of London’s largest immigrant communities? It must be clear from Saturday’s demonstration that there is the widest possible opposition to these modern day fascists. How much longer must it be before fascism is banned from our streets?’
