Cable Street
In October 1936, people in the east end of London prevented a march by fascists, in the 'Battle of Cable Street'. Trade unionists, Irish dockers and labourers, communists, Labour Party members and people from the Jewish community joined together to oppose a march organised by the British Union of Fascists led by Sir Oswald Mosley. Their 'blackshirt' uniforms were similar to those worn by fascists in Italy and Germany.
The route of the planned march was seen as deliberate provocation, through an area with a large number of Jewish people. The government refused to ban it, and so around 250,000 people took to the streets to prevent it, under the slogan No Pasaran - They Shall Not Pass. The march was turned back, and political history was made.
Here's to solidarity - still needed in the world today. HFF.
