All Britain Anti-Poll Tax Federation

The All Britain Anti Poll Tax Federation, commonly known as "the Fed", was an organisation in Great Britain to co-ordinate the activities of local Anti-Poll Tax Unions (APTUs) campaigning against the Poll tax (officially the "Community Charge") brought in by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government in 1989 (Scotland) and 1990 (England and Wales).

[2] Prior to the first conference of the Fed, a steering committee was organised by 20 regional anti-poll tax federations, with Tommy Sheridan as chair and had gained the support of 15 Labour MPs.

[3] The first conference was held at Manchester Free Trade Hall on 25 November 1989, attracting around 2000 delegates.

[6] The Fed argued for a mass campaign of non-payment of the poll tax, as had been adopted at its founding conference.

[12] However, Militant claimed that this was "totally false" and criticised those such as Roy Hattersley who had called for punishment of those involved.
