St. Anthony's Social Centre in Preston, Lancashire, was unaware Heritage and Destiny commemorate British fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley and late "White power" musician Ian Stuart Donaldson. The group celebrated the duo at this year's event this weekend at an undisclosed venue in the city. It has now come to light that the 2022 Heritage and Destiny assembly was booked at St. Anthony's Social Centre. The group cunningly concealed the true nature of the event by booking it as a "memorial". Karen Harle, the club's steward, told Lancs Live the organisation tried to book the facility again for this weekend's meeting under the guise of it being for armed forces veterans. However, having learned about the real purpose of last year's event only weeks after it had occurred, Harle grew suspicious and cancelled the booking, which had been tentatively made by a colleague. An unnamed member of a group accused Karen of falling for "fake news and lies". This accusation came after Karen cancelled a booking for the group's 2022 gathering, following bizarre claims that hundreds of armed police were ready to intervene if any laws were breached. Karen shared her experience with the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS), saying: "Last year, they [said it was] a memorial and we do have stuff like that. I took [the booking] in good faith. But they asked [for] the bar staff to serve in the lounge so as not to 'disturb the meeting'." She found this request odd but complied nonetheless. However, she now wonders if it was a ploy to prevent her from overhearing their discussions. This year, during her night off, her assistant made a provisional booking for an 'ex-veterans meeting'){kind=link}
