THE COWARDLY defacement of the assembly point for tomorrow’s anti-racism demonstration in Cardiff should strengthen the resolve of all marching.

It is vital that we assemble in towns and cities across our country to show that we will not flinch in the face of racism and fascism, that we will stand steadfast beside those on the receiving end of discrimination, slurs and violence.
