Ghosts of Cable Street by The Men They Couldn't Hang - Tells the story of a real piece of history. Oswald Mosley tried to lead a march through the East End, and a bunch of dock workers and factory boys with pipes and two by fours showed up to beat his ass into the ground.

James Connolly by Black 47 - I think it's fair to call songs about Irish socialists fighting British oppression "anti-fascist", and this one is a banger.

Come Out Ye Black And Tans by The Maguire Brothers - See above. It's a traditional with many versions available, but I quite like this one. The Devitts version is also superb.

People's Champ by The Arkells - Take your pick as to whether this is talking about Doug Ford or Donald Trump, but it's a damn good fuck you to right wing populist either way.

Also shout out to just all of Moscow Death Brigade. Anti-fascist Russian hip hop that goes seriously fucking hard. Check out Brother and Sisterhood or Boltcutter

I've been looking for a song I like about cable street -- it's one of those few bits of English history that I can feel proud of.
