The far right are on the rise. Within hours of being inaugurated, Donald Trump has enacted a slew of racist policies attacking minorities and pardoning over 1,500 violent far right thugs.His right hand man, Elon Musk, disgustingly gave back-to-back Nazi salutes on live TV.
Their support for Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage have emboldened the far right here in the UK. Together, they are a threat to us all.
If we are to fight against them, we must unite. We must unite to protect our communities in all their diversity. We must unite to push back the growing threat of the international far right and their politics of hate.
On 1 February, fascist Tommy Robinson is calling on his far right, racist and Nazi thug supporters to take to the streets of London to “free the political prisoners”. It is a deliberate attempt to stoke racism and fascism. Stand Up To Racism has called a national demo to stop the far right in response.
Farage boasts that Reform UK now has over 170,000 members and has overtaken the Tories. Reform UK is setting the agenda in British politics on immigration and is pushing hard racism that is giving confidence to fascists.
The danger of the far right is only growing. But they can be stopped. The splits in Reform UK over support for Robinson show that they're still divided. In August, mass anti-racist resistance halted the far right riots. In October, 20,000 of us came out to march against Robinson's fascist friends. But on Sat 1 Feb we have to do it again.
We need a huge turnout to show the fascists they are not welcome on our streets. We are asking everyone opposed to racism and fascism to join us on Feb 1.
