  • Scope and Content
    A5 sheet, one side, black on white. Leaflet written by Gay Icebreakers and handed out outside the Mutations disco at The Bell on 30th March 1984. Gives details of the disagreement between Gay CND and Gay Icebreakers on one side, and Nightworkers on the other, on how racist and fascist incidents at the disco should be dealt with, and more widely on how the disco should be run as an alternative to, and not a part of the commercial gay scene. Makes reference to the (unsuccessful) attempt by Paul Thurlow to get the music stopped on the night of 16th March after a number of incidents of racist and fascist abuse, harassment and assault on gay black men at Mutations disco, and Gay Icebreakers and Gay CND's refusal to ban him from future Mutations disco. Nightworkers had then unilaterally decided to exclude the other two group from running the disco, and decided to run it alone. "The Friday night disco at The Bell is now just a commercial disco like any another..."
