Fascist Tommy Robinson AKA Stephen Yaxley Lennon has been released from prison. He is calling for “the UK’s biggest free speech festival” on 13 September in London. The reality is Robinson wants to bring his far right thug supporters onto the streets to spread racist division and Islamophobia. We have halted his attempts to build a fascist street movement in Britain again and again but the context is even more dangerous now.
Reform UK’s rise is alarming. Farage is setting the agenda on immigration – and Starmer adopting the same rhetoric – giving confidence to the fascists.
But the far right can be stopped. Last summer, mass anti racist resistance halted the far right riots. We marched in our tens of thousands to oppose Tommy Robinson in October and February. But on Saturday 13 September we have to do it again. Join us.
Sandwell General UNISON Branch Committee voted to back this anti-racist counter protest and will be sending a delegation. If you would like to attend then please contact the branch for further details.
