This song describes the events of October 4, 1936 when working class people of the East End of London stood together to stop Mosley’s Blackshirts. This dealt British fascism a very damaging and important blow and is a huge event for working class history. When you compare present day political events with this history, it's quite scary! Known, historically as 'The Battle For Cable Street'.
