Summary
A double sided lithographic leaflet produced for on street distribution by the Anti-Nazi League organisation in London in 1978, probably in advance of the upcoming 1979 UK General Election. The leaflet has black printed text and images on both sides and would have primarily been aimed at students and trade unionists warning them about the motives of The National Front organisation. There is an Anti-Nazi League logo in the centre on one side and an application box for requesting further information on the Student Campaign Against The Nazi’s in the bottom right corner on the same side. On the other side of the leaflet there is another Anti-Nazi League logo in the centre at the top with a Women Against The Nazi’s logo immediately to the right of this. The Anti-Nazi League was set up in the UK in 1977 with the aim of opposing far right political groups including The National Front and The British Movement.
