Rock Against Racism Carnival, Victoria Park, 30th April 1978. Fluck&Law (Spitting Image) puppets

The paper mache heads of fascist leaders Tyndall and Webster that accompanied the march from Trafalgar Square to Victoria Park were designed by Fluck and Law (of Spitting Image). The posters were by the late David King. Both were striking examples of how the Anti-Nazi League and Rock Against Racism represented a new form of protest beyond the still important banners and placards to imagery key in a visual age.

80,000 people (myself included) marched six miles from Trafalgar Square to hear speakers (of course) but also X Ray Spex, Steel Pulse, Tom Robinson and the Clash
