Back when the Communist Party of Great Britain broke up it had 4000 members. So would anyone even notice if they did.

Originally posted by nickgusset Ok. Do you think that far right fascist groups should be able to march through towns unchallenged? There were 3000 Fascists and 6000 police. I don't think they were unchallenged in any sense that suggests that they were an immediate danger to the public. I think it's fair to say that the 20,000 that arrived from all over the place to oppose them might have been part of the problem.

Well that reference to Jews and Irish dockers gives us an insight into your way of looking at the world. The point is that if the fascists had been allowed to march through the Jewish areas they would have done what the Nazis were doing at the time if they could i.e. smash up what they regarded as Jewish property and beat up anyone they thought was a Jew. The same would have happened at Lewisham and all over Britain if the anti Nazi League had not stopped them there and at many other places. Why do you think they chose Whitechapel and Lewisham for their marches? It wasn't because they liked the area. Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger People who were there. Anti-fascists Communists Socialists Anarchists British Jews Irish dockers Independent Labour Party The British Union of Fascists (Blackshirts) The Met Police. Where was your average non political man? And this was on a Sunday. Need I say more. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (17 Aug 2017 2.13pm)

Sorry, I still laughing. And you say Jewish areas? I thought this was Britain and people had the right to demonstrate. Of course, they were marching in sensitive areas for a reason. Do the Left do exactly the same? Don't think for one minute that I'm defending Fascists. I'm just responding to the blinkered idiocy of the Left who want to reduce every argument to black and white.( no pun intended)

Or is alright for them to gather from all over the place. From what I can make out, and correct me if I am wrong. You support the right of fascists, nazis and their ilk to march freely through the streets of Britain.
