Guardian resurfaces 1936 Battle of Cable Street archive
Original: Archive, 1936: Fascist march on Cable Street stopped after disorderly scenes
The Guardian has republished its archive report from 5 October 1936, when a fascist march led by Sir Oswald Mosley through London's East End was halted after disorderly scenes. Around 84 people were arrested and many were hurt as a huge crowd blocked the march through the heart of the Jewish quarter, in what became known as the Battle of Cable Street.
Why now: The anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street prompts reflection on anti-fascist resistance, which resonates with current debates about extremism.
