HUNDREDS of anti-fascists stopped a neonazi anti-refugee rally in Llantwit Major over the weekend after police officers escorted the fascists onto a train.

Jubilant members of the community in the south Wales town showed the far right the door on Saturday after they were joined by hundreds of protesters from across Wales and England.

As the 15 fascists started their rally in Seaview Park, they were surrounded by a phalanx of police officers who stood between them and the hundreds of counter-demonstrators flooding into the area.
