Speaker: Kevin Blowe of NetPol.
Last summer, thousands of people gathered in Walthamstow, as riots erupted around the country, to resist threats of far-right protests against local immigration advice services. This counter-demonstration was widely praised in the media & by politicians, in marked contrast to the relentlessly negative portrayal of ordinary people offering a similar kind of solidarity to besieged Palestinians in Gaza as ‘hate marches.’ Kevin, campaigns coordinator of the Network for Police Monitoring, was an activist for 26 years with the anti-racist & police monitoring group, the Newham Monitoring Project.
