Today is the 88th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, when thousands of East-Londoners stood alongside Jewish and Irish communities to drive out Oswald Mosley and his fascists. Never forget: working-class unity can defeat the far right for good.

Defendantโ€™s claim that he just came upon the protest & had no prior intention of getting involved isnโ€™t credible but also draws from the irrationalist myth that people get caught up in crowds without knowing what theyโ€™re doing. This doesnโ€™t happen bbc.com/news/articles/โ€ฆ
