Mobilising Against the Far Right in the UK

03/08/2024

The left wing weekly newspaper Socialist Worker invited LGBTQIA+ activists to join with a broad coalition of progressives to oppose the racist attacks on mosques and other centres associated with immigrant communities following the stabbing incident in Southport earlier in the week.  They say that a street force of fascists and their hangers-on have seized on a horrible murder of three girls to attempt to burn mosques, beat up refugees and terrorise migrants.   They were in Southport on Tuesday night, and outside a mosque in Hartlepool and refugee hostels in Manchester and Aldershot on Wednesday.    But the far right’s assaults were never really about the Southport murders. They were a convenient excuse for intensified Islamophobic, anti-migrant—and anti-black and Asian—agitation.

Demonstrate. Oppose the far right, don’t let the racists divide us
