Sylvia Pankhurst Memorial Lecture 2025
Lindsey’s presentation was excellent and you can read it here. We were also able to broadcast online thanks to support from Jess!
In the meantime, here’s a few pictures (none of Lindsey as the nature of the crimes by the State against women in the Spycops Inquiry means that Lindsey has a legal anonymity order in place, so she cannot have her face on camera or published).

Matteotti had ties with the labour movement in Britain and he visited London in April 1924 to rally support around the antifascist cause.
He would be later kidnapped and killed by fascists in June the same year.
The exhibition is curated by historian Alfio Bernabei. It Is one of the events promoted by the Matteotti London 2024 Committee, by the initiative of ANPI London & UK, INCA CGIL, Manifesto di Londra and Partito Democratico London
