Today, on Sunday 17th January 2009, Bristol and Czech anti-fascists
gathered beneath the Spanish Civil War memorial in Castle Park to honour
these fallen comrades. Like others before them, they have paid the
ultimate price for their beliefs. We will never forget the debt we owe
to every one of these men and women who gave their lives in defence of
freedom.
But we do no justice to these heroes simply with words and monuments.
While the cancer of fascism threatens, we will continue to attack and
destroy it. And we will not stop until the disease is obliterated.
Even as we remember our fallen, we resolve to fight harder for the
future. Our message to the fascists is simple and defiant - YOU SHALL
NOT PASS!
