UK reggae and the National Front
(or: Smash the National Front – part two) A little bit of audio for you after all that book-reviewage last week: Here is a short mix of reggae tunes concerned with the National Front. There is a track by track breakdown below, but what I found surprising was how few tunes there were given the …
BEYOND THE iMPLODE: 9 THINGS I HATE ABOUT ANTI-NAZI MARCHES IN LONDON
Smash the National Front – part one
Actually, don’t go out of your way to smash them. They are tiny these days and have been completely eclipsed by the more sophisticated British National Party. In the mid-70s, though, the NF were a force to be reckoned with, both electorally and on the streets. Which naturally put the wind up a lot of …
all sorts of badness
Stewart Home has updated his website to include yet more information about the fascist inclinations and associations of neofolk “musician” Tony Wakeford.

November 9th Society – an apology

Unfortunately it looks like it isn’t as straightforward as that: MC036 eBay Listing Removed: Hateful or Discriminatory ( 182548222) Dear john-eden We appreciate that you chose eBay to list the …
The Battle of Lewisham
“On 13 August 1977, the far-right National Front attempted to march from New Cross to Lewisham in South East London. Local people and anti-racists from all over London and beyond mobilised to oppose them, and the NF were humiliated as their march was disrupted and banners seized. To mark the 30th anniversary of the ‘Battle …
above the ruins – yet more ruins
Stewart Home’s new material on Tony Wakeford et al seems to have generated a flurry of additional information which has now been incorporated into the article on his website. The shitty politics of the post-industrial music scene AND revelations about the inability of some its “stars” to wipe their own fat arses.
