*Stop the fascists in Bristol – Saturday 17th October – spread the word and be ready to mobilise!*

On Saturday 17th October Bristol’s resident fascists, the ‘Bristol United Patriots,’ claim to be holding a demo in the city.

Originally intended to be part of a ‘unity action’ with the BNP, the later have since got cold feet and these guys want to go it alone.
