FASCIST thugs rampaged through socialist bookshop Bookmarks in central London in broad daylight yesterday.

The gang trashed the left-wing shop in Bloomsbury Street, which stocks socialist publications and is also the bookseller for the TUC.

About 6:45 this evening Bookmarks Bookshop was attacked by about a dozen masked wearing fascists. They threatened staff and attempted to destroy books and other materials. Fortunately no staff were hurt. This is the true face of fascism. No Paseran!
