In September 1992 AFA achieved its greatest “set-piece” victory against Blood and Honour. The fight raged around Waterloo Station in London and was dubbed the Battle of Waterloo.
Here are some videos.
These videos are thanks to the fantastic work of 45antifascist
In 1992 Anti-Fascist Action produced an Open Spaces documentary for the BBC. Here it is in full:
Those that brought you Beating the Fascists have produced an overdue yet very good video. It contains lots of pictures and videos of anti-fascist actions.
This post contains two recordings of phone calls with Manchester BNP organiser Gordon Gee in November, 1990.
Searchlight journalist, Steve Tilzey, dupes Gee into, first, believing he is Terry, a BNP official, and secondly, following a Searchlight article using the intellegience gathered, David Howarth, a BNP security officer.
This recording includes comments on Holocaust News and National Socialism. “JT” is mentioned this is BNP leader John Tyndall.
This recording hears Tilzey telling off Gee for having a mole within his organisation
The recordings may be quiet. I suggest using headphones, earphones or speakers. Turn the bass down too.
I found this perception from the Seattle based United Front Against Fascism of the October 1997 International Militant Anti-Fascism Conference which AFA held in London.

SM has found a brief chronology of events 1985-1997.
I’ve made it available as a PDF: AFA – Brief Chronology of Events 1985-1997
Bit bored of revision at the moment so I thought I’d put some new material I’ve recently found.
I’ve got loads left to be uploaded. In June I’m going to put up the remaining material and re-organise the blog.
Some new additions:
Also, check out the fantastic documentary on French anti-fascist gangs!
Well this blog began in February as a way of making public all the material I had been given and discovered. I felt some of AFA’s primary material was at risk of being lost and, at the very least, not being widely available for those, like me, wishing to study AFA.
The material has been viewed on every continent and I have received a number of emails about how the blog has helped with their personal study of anti-fascism. One was from Dr. Evan Smith at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia.
Although I’m not going to upload my thesis until it is marked (20th June) I will post my bibliography and a word cloud, mostly for my own memory recording.
I’d like to thank JH, LH, DC, DP, GO, LO, ST, SM, CW, SL and BH for their support and help. Much appreciated, seriously.

This post contains information and material relating to Blaggers ITA (In The Area) an Anti-Fascist Action supporting band.
Matty Blag writes Who are the blaggers were.
(check out the t-shirt on the far left)
I have found a number of interviews with members of Blaggers ITA:
Recordings:
Below: Matty Blag’s BBC Radio One interview with Mark Goodier from 1993 which coincided with the release of Stresss – the first release for EMI. Life in prison, becoming an anti-fascist, ram-raiding and signing to EMI – what a life!

Fantastic French documentary on the anti-fascist Parisian gangs in the 80s.
Members of the Red Warriors, an antifascist gang in France, 1985. Red Warriors used violent force to remove Neo Nazi gangs from France and provide safe spaces for immigrants during the rise of white nationalism and an outbreak of violent crime against people of colour. They formed a squat called “L.U.S.I.N.E” and were considered the most effect gang to counter nazi violence, working to instill fear in their opposition.
