Beating the Fascists: The authorised history of Anti-Fascist Action

I made the understandable error of going into O'Neils local in Manchester wearing a Chelsea shirt straight after we beat United 3-0 and won the league. Nearly got stabbed.
Well 39 I think I know about this.....wrong time wrong place....just like me at that BPP meeting nr Borough Market a couple of years ago.... One reason I dont wear tops. I wear the tiniest pin badge....
 
Of course Bignose 1, we real revolutionery hardliners at Manchester University were always contemptous of our comrades' crowd pleasing election strategies at Manchester Poly. FFS many of you actually got ELECTED !

No such bourgeois populism for us at the University. MY Student Union election slogan was "For Uncompromising Militancy ", and MY election poster publicity photo was :

Did this provide the base to win the masses towards SOCIALISM?

Definitely not... student Far Leftie politics eh. Happy days.

Though I was actually being more than a tad exaggeratedly humorous... the IS student group at Manchester University in the early 70's actually played a very significant role in a number of key campaigns .. including the one to prevent the Student's Union from disaffaliating from NUS -- and was very unsectarian in its relations on the Left and with other groups compared to many other Trots. Manchester University was always a strong base for both the Tory students, and the Broad Left career politicians - not leaving much electoral space for revolutionery socialists - unlike Manchester Poly -- where we used to go along up the road and help our comrades occupy the admin building for weeks every year ! The focus of work for IS student members most of this time wasn't really in the university , but out with the geographical branches in broader political work, in the real world.
 
I've finished reading the AFA Ireland pamphlet Undertones. It's well worth getting a hold of. It has a great chronological history of the far right in Ireland and a good history of AFA Ireland, told through stories of activity.
 
anyone got info/reliable links on Acklam Hall/ Crisis riot and Hamborough Tavern riot, Southall? have got a few wee contradictions to sort out.
 
from gary hodges,
As skins were led through the escape route, the police actually shouted for assistance to the skins, and both forces formed a barricade between the Asians and the tavern. It was the angry Asian mob that was fighting the police, and it was the skins that stood shoulder-to-shoulder trying to fend them off.
