Anti-fascist protest chases the neonazis from St Athan

LOCAL people joined anti-fascist campaigners yesterday to send packing a bunch of neonazis demonstrating against Afghan refugees being housed in a south Wales village.

Neonazi group Patriotic Alternative had organised a protest against a Westminster government-organised scheme bringing Afghan people who had worked with British forces and their families into the country.

Hundreds of people turned out to oppose and sent scurrying the small number of fascists who turned up outside the gate of RAF St Athan, where Afghan families are being temporarily housed.
