The future of our estates still hangs in the balance, as the Council continues to attack us, and we as a community – through the Tenants’ & Residents’ Association – do our best to stick up for ourselves and our rights.

from Hackney Solidarity

For years, Britain's fascists were a marginal, street-fighting rump. Now suited and booted, they present themselves as 'respectable politicians', their racist and reactionary views feeding off the betrayals of Blair's Government. They now stand a serious chance of winning seats from the votes of disillusioned working-class people.

We have produced this issue of our local Workers' Liberty newsletter for tonight's Hackney TUC anti-fascist meeting. There is also an article about the Council's betrayal of Marcon Court, and information about Workers' Liberty meetings and this website.
