First Rock Against Racism Carnival (30/4/78)
More than 60,000 people marched through the streets of London on Sunday (April 30) in response to a call by the Anti-Nazi League, a new group which is determined to halt the political progress in Britain of the National Front, a right-wing party with racialist policies. The marchers gathered in Trafalgar Square with their banners, and accompanied by music groups they walked through the multi-racial East End of London, which was deliberately chosen because the National Front has been trying to make political gains there. The march and rally passed off peacefully, and ended with a free rock music concert in Victoria Park, Hackney
I was there. Old time Antifa action. The Clash headlining at Victoria Park. I marched practically all the way from Trafalgar Square with my late friend Mike Hart's son Stephen on my shoulders. If you don't know the story of why RAR was formed thEn read this

Some other things...
To start with some amazing pics of Paris circa 1900. How noise became music. Music while you work. Where's Australia? (I arrived wherever it is 29 years ago today.) Putin & polygamy. Best TV news bomb ever. An amazing piece by Oliver sacks on facing death. Death is never easy. Fucker. More fuckers. You've been misled on boat people. The true cost of outsourcing. Vollmann. Fuck you Turkey. Murdoch's paper lying? HA! Will the NRA ever get it? Was there a riot? Grandmaster Flash loses his valuables. The world's first drum machine. Legalise psychedelics. eL Seed. The alphabet redesigned one letter a day. I like this Kobe Bryant font. Inside the strange dynamic of Reclaim Australia's rallies. I'm going for the Trojan Horse. The next UPF rally is set for Cronulla?!? Nice to see that Blair says all of us Antifa types will be executed or sent to labour camps after they have won the revolution lol. They've been having a bit of a problem with rallying music. Remember we are not who we think we are.
Finally Labor you made a BIG mistake not electing Albo as leader...
