Activists from Stand Up To Racism Scotland gather in Glasgow's George Square, in a counter protest to a far-right rally, September 7, 2024
PROTESTS will take place this weekend to rally against a far-right group called Unite the Kingdom.
Stand Up to Racism has called counterdemonstrations in London, Liverpool, Derby, Portsmouth, Swansea, Leeds, Nottingham and Ipswich.
Unite the Kingdom uses slogans associated with fascist agitator Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, including “stop the boats” and “save our kids,” and has been linked to the far-right violence which erupted in the summer.
As extremist movements grow on the streets and at the ballot box, the emergence of the Together Alliance points to a vital strategy: unity across trade unions, campaigners and communities, says TONY CONWAY
Once again Tower Hamlets is being targeted by anti-Islam campaigners, this time a revamped and radicalised version of Ukip — the far-right event is now banned by the police, but we’ll be assembling this Saturday to make sure they stay away, says JAYDEE SEAFORTH
