Protesing against the Festival of Light 1971
1971
“Cliff Richard and somebody else were having a Festival of Light event at Lancaster University at the same time. [Mary Whitehouse[ was the main director and driver of it, they also had a meeting in Handsworth Park, and a friend took pictures of me and other people actually attacking the Festival of Light at the park”. Nick says that as a group he felt safe protesting “The context of both CHE and GLF created the conditions under which you could do things which you would be unwise to do as an individual.”
