Edward Platt, The New Statesmen
The supporters of the Socialist Workers Party who gathered in
Trafalgar Square on a bright sunny day at the end of March could not agree how
to define the relationship between their organisation and the rally taking
place around them. One seller of the weekly Socialist Worker, who was down from
Sheffield for the day, told me that Unite Against Fascism was a “front” for the
SWP, but the man working on the stall selling party literature was more
cautious: “It’s not an SWP event,” he said. “We’re part of it. But it’s bigger
than us.”
