Sixteen of 17 persons arrested Sunday night after a clash at an attempted outdoor rally by British Fascist John Tyndall were fined yesterday from three pounds ($8,40) to 25 pounds ($70) on charges of possession of weapons and assaulting police officers. The other defendant was remanded.
One of the defendants said in court: “How long can these people be allowed to go on. They would not be there if the police did not give them protection.” Tyndall formed his own neo-Nazi group last year after breaking with Colin Jordan, head of the tiny British National Socialist Party.
