The Home Office this week-end imposed a new ban on all political processions within the municipal area of London. The new prohibition goes into effect for three months on May 2, the day on which an earlier three-month ban was scheduled to be lifted.
The latest Home Office move will effectively halt a march by Sir Oswald Mosley and his fascist Union Movement members through the East End of London. The parade was scheduled to be held on May 7. Instead Mosley will address an open air meeting in the Jewish district at the site of earlier meetings which ended in clashes between the fascists and anti-fascists.
