A similar attack in 1993 was at the hands of the far-right. And suspicions here are that this time there are similar culprits. Organizations like the Freedom Press come under pressure - and surveillance - from many quarters in Britain.

As for the bookshop, Andy says he is determined not to let anything stand in the way. It will be open again by Monday.
