Protesters’ anger at BNP festival
A lively and militant demo of over 500 took to the streets of Codnor, Derbyshire, to oppose the Nazi BNP’s Red, White and Blue festival, on Saturday 16 August.
Unite Against Fascism mobilised local trade unions and anti-racist groups. There was a particularly good turn out from the CWU, RMT, Unison and teaching unions.
But, no sooner had the demonstration gathered the police announced that it could not take place. UAF activists had to push through the police lines and take the road. It was only after this that the police let the march take place.
