NEW!!! http://www.connollycolumn.org: Last year I helped establish an Anti Fascist group based in Belfast. Our aim is to remember Irish Anti Fascists who fought under the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War during the 1930s. To date they have not been officially commemmorated in Belfast. This year marks the seventieth anniversary of the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, we're going to see to it that these brave Anti fascists are remembered by unveiling a monument near the city centre for all to see.
