Burnley Anti-Fash

Despite police efforts to ban all political activity in Burnley on Sept 1st, due to threats of an NF march, one group of activists managed to enter the town (despite being a beacon in their bright yellow minibus). After failing to find any other demonstrators (fash or anti) the van mysteriously broke down in a ‘drive-thru’ McDonalds, blocking it for 30 minutes whilst customers were leafleted. Elsewhere in Burnley people succeeded in leafleting despite the police. Source: Loombreaker
