Just came across this paper from Dr Tom Crook from Oxford Brookes on the first two decades of @PrivateEyeNews. Well worth a read cambridge.org/core/journals/…
The 'Battle of Lewisham' occurred on this day (13 August) in 1977 when anti-fascists and local activists marched to prevent the National Front holding a demo in the borough. A scan of the issue of 'Flame' celebrating the anti-fascists can be found here: hatfulofhistory.wordpress.com/wp-content/upl…
