The far right are feeling emboldened by Reform's victories and Starmer's shift to the right. It is vital we oppose them wherever they show up.
This weekend fascists mobilised by UKIP in Bristol found themselves outnumbered 10:1 by a Stand Up To Racism counter-protest. In Birmingham fascist Britain First was also outnumbered by SUTR when it attempted to raise the demand for mass removal of migrants from the UK with some of their protest supporters openly calling for Nazism (National Socialism).
Leader of fascist Patriotic Alternative Mark Collette has now called for PA supporters to "become active organisers and members of Reform and seek candidacy to become MPs, mayors, Councillors, Police Commissioners, MSPs, researchers, Party Staffer etc" in an attempt to mainstream their fascist ideology.
The far right see the opportunity to build out of the mainstreaming of anti-migrant racism by Farage, Badenoch and Starmer and it is vital anti-racists build mass opposition to the scapegoating and confront the racists whenever they mobilise.

No Debate with Hate - Protest Charlie Kirk at the Oxford Union
7:00 PM Tuesday 20 May
St. Michael's St OX1 2DU
Founder of Turning Point USA, Kirk flies the banner of hate and disinformation on university campuses for Trump, funnelling big-money in to racism and every form of bigotry and oppression.
Friend and enabler of neo-nazis and fascists both sides of the Atlantic, Kirk is not welcome to debate in our city.
You don't beat the danger of hate speech by platforming it in the elite halls of a debating society. We beat it by standing up, calling it out and shutting it down.
Join the protest, bring banners, friends and voices!
Fascists not welcome in Oxford
Stop the Far Right "Great British National Strike"
Assemble 11AM Saturday 24th May at Carfax Tower
Supporters of Tommy Robinson have called protests in 74 towns and cities across the UK on 24th May under the slogan "The Great British National Strike"- though they aren't asking anyone to stop work on the bank holiday weekend and no trade union is backing them. What they are doing is attempting to stoke up racism by racialising child sexual abuse and combining this with attacks on migrants and refugees. At the same time they are calling for Britain to abandon legal protections for human rights as enshrined in the ECHR and an end to inheritance tax for rich farmers.
They are using legitmate concerns over cost of living, winter fuel payments and claim to be open to all, but their twitter page is rife with uncritical support for last weekend's fascist mobilisations. It is vital anti-racists across Oxford mobilise to stop them on Saturday.
