with the recent accusations that the UK government has adopted a two-tiered approach, by supporting some forms of protest and enforcing state control over others, parallels have been drawn to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. Through this, legitimate concerns have been silenced, deemed as an overt posturing of power, with rapid justice for expressing specific views on social media. One could therefore question… what does ‘individual liberty’ mean in relation to British values, when a social media post can lead to imprisonment?

Labour may not (yet) be accepting as many corporate gifts as their Tory predecessors, but this does nothing to address the intrinsic flaws of an unprincipled political landscape where accountability is woefully lacking. Those in power may change their coats, but they emerge from the same rotten cupboard. Even so-called alternative parties are enmeshed in this quagmire, trading promises for donations and making power plays in a corrupt game.

*Not cops, transphobes, etc.

12 września 1993 roku na londyńskim dworcu Waterloo doszło do jednej z najbardziej spektakularnych klęsk nazistów z Blood& Honour. Tego dnia miał odbyć się koncert nazistowskich kapel, w tym Skrewdriver. Punkt przekierunkowy na dworcu został opanowany przez antyfaszystów i doszło do wielogodzinnych starć. W rezultacie wielu nazioli zostało rannych i duża część nigdy nie dotarła na koncert . Dalszą konsekwencją było zepchnięcie ruchu B&H do głębokiego podziemia i ukrócenie ich wpływów.

On September 12, 1993, one of the most spectacular defeats of the Nazis from Blood & Honour took place at London's Waterloo station. That day, a concert by Nazi bands, including Skrewdriver, was to take place. The transfer point at the station was taken over by anti-fascists and hours of clashes ensued. As a result, many Nazis were injured and many never made it to the concert. The further consequence was to drive the B&H movement deep underground and curtail their influence.
