Rock Against Racism is reborn as gigs planned in riot towns across Britain

[Ted]

Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) – the successor organisation to the Rock Against Racism (RAR) movement which helped turn the tide against the National Front in the 1970s – is planning to follow a concert in London in September, featuring singer-songwriter Paloma Faith, with a series of local gigs across the country over the next 12 months.

It's good news - and important to keep reminding the racists how out-of-step they are. Only downside: Paloma Faith and her publicity-seeking, has-been ilk. It's hardly The Clash and The Specials.

Paloma Faith and her publicity-seeking

Her publicity-seeking has finally succeeded with me. I never heard of her before.

Maybe we should have a rock against racism fest.

great idea!

[Ray Brookes]

Great idea (RAR - rock against racism) A worthwhile festival. Those racist idiots are all mad.

Now, how about RAMI - rock against mass immigration?

Maybe we should have a rock against racism fest.

I'm in!

[Mike_S]

Rock against Extremism. In all its forms. Or just Rock for Peace?

[kenny mac]

I'm all for peace ,100 percent.
Rock for peace has a good ring to it.
We need that today in this world.
