Adopting new tactics to combat anti-Semitism in this country, the British Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women today embarked on a campaign of erecting its own speakers platforms in all places where pro-fascist and anti-Semitic street speakers are accustomed to holding meetings.
At several such street corners, where hundreds have usually turned out to listen to the inflammatory remarks of the anti-Semitic speakers, reports indicate that these same crowds are now flocking around the Jewish veterans’ rostrums. Major Lionel Rose, who is spearheading the drive with the slogan, Democracy Hits Back, declared to day that “we shall fight them and defeat then.”
