The Milltown Republican Plot in Belfast was desecrated by fascists on June 18th with Combat 18 slogans. This attack on the Republican plot in Milltown cemetery in west Belfast follows alleged Combat 18 involvement in the forcing of over 100 Romanian’s from their homes in South Belfast. Founded in 1992 from the security wing of the British National Party, the atatck also followed the election of two BNP MEPs in the recent Europesn Elections in England. In recent times Combat 18 has taken over the mantle from the National Front in forging links with Ulster loyalists. From the 1980’s these links were fostered principally through Johnny Adair as investigated by Anti-Fascist Action. In 2000, during the Drumcree stand-off the RUC failed to prevent 20 known Combat 18 members from travelling to Northern Ireland from England. In April 2008 fascists were suspected of cooperating with a mass loyalist attack on Cosgrove’s Bar in Belfast. During the attack 32 yr old Hugh McAnally, was set upon by a gang of up to 50 men and had is throat slashed after watching a Celtic-Rangers Old Firm derby game in Cosgrove’s.
