Today is the 88th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, when thousands of East-Londoners stood alongside Jewish and Irish communities to drive out Oswald Mosley and his fascists.
Never forget: working-class unity can defeat the far right for good.
They were overjoyed to show me their results- great work team BGE and great work Mrs Craik!
Shoutout to @smithycroft282โs BGE class and their amazing map skills test results ๐ Special recognition for Ruby (95%) and Madison (90%) - What an outstanding achievement ๐๐ป๐๐ป @SmithySocSub weโll be studying climate change next โ๏ธ๐ง๐ช
