DESCRIPTION:David Renton\, Historian and Barrister\, will be talking about
  his new book *‘Never Again\, Rock Against Racism and the Anti-Nazi Leag
 ue\, 1976-1982’*\, which explores the history of the mass movement—pol
 itical and cultural—that helped defeat the National Front. We will bring
  this history into discussion with today’s struggle against a resurgent 
 far-right.\n\n"By 1976\, the National Front had become the fourth largest 
 party in Britain. In a context of national decline\, racism and fears that
  the country was collapsing into social unrest\, the Front won 19 per cent
  of the vote in elections in Leicester and 100\,000 votes in London.\nIn r
 esponse\, an anti-fascist campaign was born\, which combined mass action t
 o deprive the Front of public platforms with a mass cultural movement. Roc
 k Against Racism brought punk and reggae bands together as a weapon agains
 t the right."\n\n*All welcome to attend*: no particular affiliation to any
