TIE_PosterThis Is England is a 2006 British drama film written and directed by Shane Meadows. The story centres on young skinheads in England in 1983. The film illustrates how their subculture, which has its roots in 1960s West Indian culture, especially skasoul, and reggae music,[4][5] became adopted by white nationalists, which led to divisions within the skinhead scene. The film’s title is a direct reference to a scene where the character Combo explainshis nationalist views using the phrase “this is England” during his speech.

Resist the National Front in Swansea http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=636 http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=636#comments Wed, 06 Mar 2013 17:51:08 +0000 rb http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=636 10.30am Saturday 9th March 2013 SWANSEA.

The National Front have called a “White Pride World Wide” demonstration in Swansea on March 9th, and a strong antifascist presence is planned in response.

Whether you can come or not – please spread the word…

With the English Defence League in a shambles and the BNP imploding, racist yobs are hoping to unite under an old banner unsullied, as they see it, by the various failures, fractures and disgraces that have engulfed the far right in recent years. We need to take them seriously, and oppose any attempt to bring their hateful, hideous ideologies onto our streets. A threat to any section of our community is a threat to society as a whole and must not be tolerated.

“Only one thing could have stopped us – if our adversaries had, from
the first day, smashed with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our
movement.” – Adolf Hitler.

Please make your way to the Strand area about 10.30am.  Bring Flags, Banners and Placards, Musical Instruments if you so wish.

Try to avoid the Strand Quay area – potential kettle demonstration.
