Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr asks what is the source of the confusion about mobilisation against the South Wales National Front in Swansea today ?
Why did United Against Fascism call off their protest ?
Red Salute to Swansea Trades Council who mobilised some 80 supporters.
We must all do better next time.
REPORT ON PROTEST
TWO arrests were made as the on-off so-called “white pride” rally took place in Swansea this afternoon.
There had been uncertainty in the build-up as to whether it would actually happen and Unite Against Fascism (UAF) officially called off... its counter-protest on the basis that it was off.
But members of the group did take their place in an 80-strong show of strength - organised by Swansea Trades Council - that lined up in Castle Street across the road from around 40 flag-waving protestors who responded to a call from National Front South Wales.
In the shadow of Swansea Castle, with police lining the road in front, they exchanged noisy chants for an hour with the counter-protestors, who were also cordoned off from the top of Castle Square by a large police presence, with some officers on horseback.
