UPITN 28 4 79 SHOPS AND BANKS BOARDED UP BEFORE MARCH IN MOURNING OF BLAIR PEACH

(28 Apr 1979) Anti-Nazi League and the Indian Workers Association march to mourn the loss of Blair Peach and Gurdid Singh. Clement Blair Peach (25 March 1946 - 23 April 1979) was a New Zealand-born teacher who died, allegedly as a result of police brutality, during an anti-racism demonstration in west London. At the time he was teaching at a special needs school in east London, and was an active member of the Socialist Teachers' Association within the National Union of Teachers, and a member of the Socialist Workers' Party. Peach became a campaigner and activist against far right and neo-Nazi organisations. He attended a demonstration held by the Anti-Nazi League outside the town hall in Southall on Monday 23 April 1979, St George's Day, joining 3,000 protesters against a National Front meeting taking place in the town hall that day, in the run-up to the 1979 UK general election. The demonstration was attended by over 2,500 police, and became violent - over 40 people, including 21 police, were injured; 300 were arrested.Peach was knocked unconscious by police in a side street and died the next day in Ealing hospital. In Southall high street, banks and shops have their windows boarded up in preparation for any possible disturbances caused by the march.
