UTUREA There is absolutely no This attack came after a series of attacks on people leaving the disco. In one of these, three men waiting at Angel tube station were set upon and one was thrown on the rails.
The attack on the disco started when skinheads in the pub started throwing bottles into the bar where the disco was being held. Then they started smashing up the bar.
The pub management called the police who threw out not only the skinheads but aiso the gay discogoers.
The organisers of the disco, London Gay Workshops, say they no longer have any confidence in the pub management or in the local police to protect the disco. As they feel unalie to guarartee the safety of people attending the disco, they have decided to close down.
They are currently investigating other premises in London, and hope to reopen soon.
