NUTTINGHAN Socialist Ungninct ncets every Friday "Jupon si the laterzacional THE national meeting of the Sritish National Party was educed to just over an hour ›y a. . demonstration of over 50 anti-fascists who picketd Burleigh Community College in Loughborough ast Thursday.
The British National Pary had won an injunction aglinst the County Council, illowing them to hold the neeting. Items for discussion were the 'Middle East' and he 'Jewish question'!
The NUT school group mmediately issued a statenent to the press and the •oposing une decision cipal of the College made a personal decision to lock up he school, and no member if the staff was prepared to open up.
When the County sollicior and his staff tried to open the gates of the school, hey found the lock was ammed with strong glue.
Demonstrators formed a picket in front of the gate, and three NUT members were arrested when the police moved the demonstrators away from in front of the gates.
The fascists eventually got in to the school on another gate, and police dogs were used to patrol the grounds.
The strength of the demonstration was that although there is no organised anti-fascist movement in the area, anti-fascists in large numbers were mobilised at less than 24 hours notice from Loughborough, Leicester and Nottingham.
The problems of the antifascist movement were clear at this mobilisation. The tactics and leadership have not been developed. to effectively prevent fascists from holding their meetings. We must build an anti-fascist movement in the trades unions and community, capable of carrying out the policy of no platform for fascists.
