With the willing cooperation of Tory Home Secretary Whitelaw, a handful of fascists can now, at whim, effectively bring about a ban on all labour movement demonstrations in any chosen area.

That is the implication of the wave of police bans on marches throughout London, in Leeds, South Yorkshire, Leicester and Wolverhampton.

Announcement

In each case an announcement from the National Front, New National Fiont or British Movement that they are to demonstrate has been sufficient to prompt police chiefs into suspending the democratic rights of the labour movement to march.

Such bans in no way hurt the fascists. Indeed they inflate the importance of the fascists assist them in their objective of further contusing, weakening and tying down the labour movement, and enable a small handful to play national level.

And at the same time the fascist marches which do take place are heavily protected by the police. This was the case last Sunday; when anti-fascists mobilising to combat a New National Front march in Burton-on-Trent were tailed by police, kept away from the 100 bused-in marchers, and flagged down by police and forced off the motorway when they attempted to follow one of the fascist coaches.

The fact is that the labour movement is ready and able to mobilise to sweep these scum off the streets. The police activity is deliberately designed to prevent this taking place, thús giving the fascists their best chance to mobilise and put on a show of apparent strength.

crush the fascists, bans, and In fighting for action to must oppose state argue instead for full scale mobilisation of the unions and Labour Parties in mass action to drive them off the streets. in the face of constantly rising costs.
