Anti-Mosleyite forces succeeded today in breaking up a scheduled Fascist meeting in Lewisham, a south London district with a small Jewish population. Using smoke bombs and other objects, the anti-Fascists demonstrated against the followers of Sir Oswald Mosley following a parade which they held through the area. The Mosleyites, who had police protection, dispersed before their meeting could take place.
