90 years ago today, Oswald Mosley and his Blackshirts attempted to march through and intimidate a predominantly Jewish area of the East End.
Men, women and children, alongside local residents, trade unionists and anti-fascist protesters, came together to defend the community in what became known as the Battle of Cable Street.
They taught us an important lesson: communities can resist fascism by joining together.
Hate and antisemitism had no place in London then, and it has no place here now.

not to get political, but America is real pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and i think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time
When we were barely more than nippers we all went from North London to see Pink Floyd in Hyde Park. These days I wouldn't leave the gaff to see them if they played at our nearest pub, The Dove.
When are the calls, after their Manchester disaster, and their low polls, for Zack Polanski to resign as Green Leader, going to begin?
It's said Zany Zack is on the way out after Manchester Mayor disaster reduces Green Party to minor fringe level.
Anyone who reacts like this is filth. Islamism.
It’s like @thismorning having a cosy discussion about executions. Presumably the point is to terrify the Iranian people watching

🗣️ Casting the monarch as a protector of all faiths is an implicit acknowledgement that Britain's constitutional privilege for Christianity is outdated and unjust.
