TRIBUTE TO THE RUTS’ PAUL FOX - RIP

By Andrew Smith. Though more commonly-namechecked bands like The Clash are often credited with the significant popular cultural fusion of reggae and punk in the late 1970s there is one band which should be far from overlooked ... Much of The Ruts' reggae-punk sound can be credited to the cutting, jagged guitar sound of Paul Fox ... His influence for those who have discovered his work is phenomenal and credit will always go to him for his anti-fascist work and his influence on the anti-racist cultural movement of the late 1970s.


JAMES WATSON: RACISM AND BAD SCIENCE FROM DNA PIONEER

By Olivia Fletcher, LMHR. "Scientist", James Watson's theory was last week splashed on the front cover of The Independent (Wednesday 17 October 2007) which read "Africans are less intelligent than Westerners, says DNA pioneer". Following a huge response from campaigners and other scientists opposing his views, Watson has since had meetings and lecture tours cancelled and suspended from his academic post.

You can also buy the issue online


ANTI-FASCISTS WELCOME SUSPENSION OF JAMES WATSON AND CANCELLATION OF BOOK TOUR

Unite Against Fascism welcomes the decision of the Science Museum and Bristol's Festival of Ideas to cancel the events scheduled around the Nobel Prize winner James Watson, the cancellation of the remainder of his book promotion tour next week and his suspension from his position at the Cold Harbour Reseach Laboratory. Watson used his position as a world famous, eminent scientist to express deeply abhorrent racist views which belong to white supremacists and neo-Nazis. His comments were rightly totally rejected by the length and breadth of the scientific community here in Britain and in the USA, as not having any scientific basis.

STOP THE FASCIST NICK GRIFFIN SPEAKING AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY

Unite Against Fascism has learnt that Oxford Union debating society has invited Fascist BNP leader Nick Griffin and convicted Holocaust denier David Irving to a debate on 'Freedom of Speech' on 26 November. UAF understands they both have been confirmed for this 'debate'. Wherever fascists have a presence, violence and intimidation increases. Fascists stand against the principles of freedom of speech and as history shows, they destroy all opposition by physically annihilating entire people and ending all freedoms.


GET INVOLVED WITH LMHR!

Download our CD, watch the videos... then get involved! Large or small, our list of ideas has a way for everyone to say "Love Music Hate Racism".
