This book explores the choice of anti-fascist protesters to demand that the opportunities for fascists to speak in public places is rescinded, as a question of history, law, and politics. It explains how the demand to No Platform fascists emerged in 1970s Britain, as a limited exception to a left-wing tradition of support for free speech.
