Anti-Fash Sunderland

About 60 people turned out to oppose a planned BNP event in Sunderland on Sept 15th. There were only a few fascists, who made no attempt to have a rally. The antis held a very brief and non-confrontational rally followed by leafleting and speeches. Also a new forum and alliance, ‘Tyne and Wear Against Racism’ has been set up. About 25 people from TWAR went leafleting round an estate where the BNP are standing candidates in the next election (they’ve started leafleting already) and leafleted 2500 houses. More events and regular meetings planned. TWAR PO Box 601, Sunderland SR2 7XY.

Anyone visiting fash web sites to check what they’re up to is advised to be cautious and think about masking their computers identify. It seems that Yorkshire NF have been up to that nasty old trick of posting up details of alleged antis and may be trying to entrap people through a bogus discussion list called “Smash the Nazis”.
