I was 12 years old and I'd been horse-riding!! A policeman picked me up in my jodphurs and carried me over the top of the Nazi's to my fairly hysterical mother who was outside our house on the other side of Lyndhurst Way!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01310936308560958775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650332.post-71641364287886513122019-02-23T20:28:46.286+00:002019-02-23T20:28:46.286+00:00Thanks for this, just what I need.

I remember around 20 of us on the SCARF demo getting cordoned off by the police so that the only way back was through a stream of some sort - probably only a little trickle, hardly crossing the Tiber or whatever, but enough to make us bedraggled and slow us down in trying to get back through a different police line. If we'd had GPS at least we'd have known where we were ...

At the time it was felt that MI5 had phones tapped etc and that's how the arrests were made. I was too young for that trip (15) but I used to sell papers,leaflet houses,protect Martin Webster at meetings,funny how things turned out for him. It would be interesting to view any film of East St taken on those Sunday mornings.

Southwark Council set up surveillance posts at strategic points along the intended demo route with council workers with walkie-talkies reporting back on the progress of the fascists! Cornelius Cardew, almost famous from Scratch Orchestra days but at this point a useless Maoist was nicked at this demo. I have a photo of him from the day standing on the steps of the London College of Printing speaking through a megaphone. The LCP had been the gathering point of hundreds, if not, thousands of anti-fascists determined to stop the NF march.<br /><br />On the Union Place attack, the nazis were stupid enough to make so much noise in the attack that people from Union Place photographed them. I have these pics too. I think they were in The Times.<br /><br />Transpontine, did you get these Times cuttings from 56a Archive or just looked independently as I pulled this out too and stuck them in the archive?<br /><br />Walworth also features in the book "Beating The Fascists" where the regular NF paper sale at East St market is halted one afternoon by some almost superhero militant anti-fascism. The book is pages and pages long. Can find the reference some other time.THE RUINISThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236992578589602948noreply@blogger.com
