SchNEWS in Brief...

Failbook Fascists Plan To Siege Cable Street

Following the implosion of the EDL, there's a new, old far right group in town. The New British Union of Fascists are a hilarious mock-up of Mosleyite mannequins. In fact they love nothing better than dressing up in a blackshirt and a Sam Browne belt and pushing Britain forward into the brave new world of the 1940s .

 

In a tip of the hat to Oswald's finest hour the New British Union are planning a march on Cable St. No date or time has yet been arranged but you can rest assured that there will be no shortage of anti-fascists willing to don flat caps, tweed waistcoats and half bricks to give their re-enactment a truly authentic touch.

 

Unfortunately the white heat of 1930s technology proved no match for 21st Century cyber-hackers. The names, locations, emails and contact numbers of all their "leaders" have been distributed over the internet. Their Facebook page has also been mercilessly hacked down.
