Documents in the possession of Socialist OrganA GANG of 30 or 40 NF fascists attacked an antifascist/anti-racist conference in Islington at the weekend (November 29), throwing smoke bombs and injuring an AUEW delegate who had arrived late.

But the gang - mainly white skinheads - were driven off by Anti Nazi League stewards, although the planned workshops were disrupted, the 60 people attending held a final session and agreed to set up a coordinating committee in the borough.

The man injured was London North AUEW member Gerald Cotton, who needed four stitches in his head after being hit by broken glass. He had attended the jobs rally in the morning before coming to the afternoon session.

It was sponsored by the iser outline a new scheme the Tories are pilot-testing in 15 Unemployment Benefit Offices up and down the country.

UB671 forms will have to be filled out by claimants for unemployment benefit interests.

Black people were alienated from many white organisations because of the racism they suffered, she said. It was necessary for them to organise separately, as with the new black trade unionists' movement, to gain confidence and strength.

This should be seen as complementary to the existing trade unions, and not working against them.

Anna Sullivan of the Anti Nazi League outlined a very real threat posed by the NF. She said it was wrong to dismiss them as a fringe group, and urged support for a continuous campaign at Chapel Market, where the ANL leaflets every Sunday morning, and throughout the borough.

Martha Osarnoor of the Finsbury Park Defence to assess the type of work they are willing to accept. This will replace the weekly signing on.

As the heading on top of UB671 states, "Your entitlement to unemployment benefit and contribution credits may be affected if you place restrictions on the work or conditions of employment you are prepared to accept"

What restrictions?

The questions on the form give a few hints.

What was your last job?

What wages are you willing to take?

Will you do shift work?

Will you do night work?

How far are you willing Youth on the receiving end again to travel?

Do you your transport?

Do you have any children or anyone else who needs your care during working hours?

A wrong answer, and a claimant could be considered to be placing restrictions' on future employment and therefore not available for work.

Weapon

This petty harassment is guaranteed to exclude many unemployed from claiming benefit. (Although in theory many people can be excluded now, with the new form the Tories are evidently hoping that many more will bel.

It seems an ideal weapon for the Tories in their efforts to. bring down the püblished unemployment The new procedure is reckoned to save £2 million - but it will cost £l million to implement, what with all the new snoopers that have to be hired, and the additional paper work.

Civil service unions, which are reported to be rightly sickened by this new Tory hunt against the unemployed, should move from disgust to outright blacking of the scheme. 4LU0S
