I dont think the leftards at UAF will like this one
If The clash where performing today, there is no doubt they would be performing today at anti-Israeli concerts, and UAF rallies
Rock Against Racism (RAR) was a campaign set up in the United Kingdom in 1976 as a response to an increase in racial conflict and the growth of white nationalist groups such as the National Front.
The campaign involved pop, rock and reggae musicians staging concerts with an anti-racist theme, in order to discourage young people from embracing racist views. The campaign was founded partly in response to allegedly racist comments and gestures made by Eric Clapton and David Bowie
RAR organised two major music festivals with the Anti-Nazi League,(now known as Unite Against Fascism) to counteract the growing wave of racist attacks in the UK. It has been reported that 80,000 people marched six miles from Trafalgar Square to the East End of London for an open-air concert. The concert featured The Clash
The Anti-Nazi League (ANL) was an organisation set up in 1977 on the initiative of the Socialist Workers Party with some sponsorship (and a few small financial donations) from some trade unions and the endorsement of a list of prominent people to oppose the rise of what they deemed to be far-right groups in Britain.
Many of its supporters where punks and squatters ( illegal house occupiers ) and during the seventies there was a big squatter movement in East London. This movement was encouraging Bangladeshis occupy empty blocks of apartments, not only this, they urged the Bangladeshi street gangs to stop fighiing each other but to organize to fight racists and anybody who opposed the squatters
So basically we can thank the Anti-Nazi League/UAF that East London is now over run with moslems
Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) is a music-oriented campaign by the Anti-Nazi League and Unite Against Fascism
Personally I have never liked The Clash, I think they where very over-rated,
I preferred KISS and Roxy Music without wanker Eno

Wow! What a history lesson... incorrect and delusional.
Hmmm..Since I was at the infamous Victoria Park concert.... I must be guilty also!
Please don't tell Obama!
(The Clash and Jimmy Pusey of Sham 69 were great!)
Maybe I should burn my guitars and stereo??

May be not guilty, but very delusioned
Have you anything to support your claim that what I have written is incorrect, just being at a red fascist concert does not prove a thing
Now why dont you check out what the anti-fascist movement and bangladeshis have to say before slinging porkies
