Cable Street 90th anniversary

That this House welcomes the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street; pays tribute to the tens of thousands of Jewish East Enders and socialist, trade unionist, and anti-fascist allies who stood together to halt the antisemitic march of Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists; celebrates the rich cultural and political history of the Jewish community in East London; notes that the events at Cable Street remain a defining example of cross-community solidarity, which has influenced subsequent generations of East Londoners resisting racism, fascism and discrimination; expresses concern at the contemporary rise of antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism and far-right extremism in the UK and across Europe, including attacks on synagogues and mosques, and against minority communities, refugees, and asylum seekers; and reaffirms that all people have a responsibility to oppose racism, antisemitism, and intolerance in the spirit of the Cable Street protestors.
