Unite Against Fascism organises festival at stabbing site

A COMMUNITY music festival is to be staged today at the site of a racist stabbing in north London amid concerns over reprisals. 

Unite Against Fascism (UAF) organised the cultural event at Markfield Park in Tottenham, where a mass brawl was sparked last Saturday when Polish skinheads attacked another free musical event.

But the community is coming together to reclaim the park from the gang, which has used it as a recruiting ground in recent months.
