On this day, 29 March 1986, anti-fascists got wind of a secret meeting which was due to take place in the small Dutch town of Kedichem to reunify two fascist political parties: the Centrum Partij and Centrum Democraten. They initially threw a smoke bomb into the hotel where the meeting was taking place, however it accidentally set the curtains on fire and within minutes the building went up in flames, causing the fascists to have to flee into the rioting outside. The proposed merger didn’t take place. More info in this short history of Dutch anti-fascism: https://ift.tt/291vpur https://ift.tt/2Uiw9XI

Brexit: Corbyn told to back new EU referendum or lose millions of supporters -
Jeremy Corbyn has been warned by Labour’s leader in the European parliament and other grandees that the party will be deserted by millions of anti-Brexit voters if it fails to clearly back a second referendum in its manifesto for next month’s EU elections.
The message from Richard Corbett, who leads Labour’s 20 MEPs, comes amid growing fears at the top of the party that it could lose a generation of young, pro-EU voters if it does not guarantee another public vote.
That age group, as well as many other Remainers, MPs say, could turn instead to unambiguously anti-Brexit parties, including the fledgling independent group Change UK, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and the SNP.
Corbett said: “If Labour does not re-confirm its support for a confirmatory public vote on any Brexit deal in its manifesto then it will haemorrhage votes to parties who do have a clear message. If on the other hand we do offer clarity and a confirmatory ballot we could do very well.”
