I watched the scenes in London today with despair. So many people who felt it was ok to join a march organised by an ex #EDL leader and known racist/fascist Stephen Yaxley Lennon.
It was a wake up call for me. The majority of us who celebrate our diverse culture and abhor racism must find the courage to speak up and try to find out why so many who don't think they are racist joined the march.

He should be called Yax, since that's part of his real name, and it resembles the the involuntary physical reaction I have to him.

#SUTR Stand Up to Racism.

Protest against the "Unite the K̶i̶n̶g̶d̶o̶m̶ Right" wing nuts whenever and wherever you find them.

#SUTR the SWPs outsourcing vehicle which outsources moral responsibilities from the #unions whilst simultaneously funneling money to the #SWP is just shameless.

This is not a conducive way to rebuild #british #tradeunions into a political movements and only retracts.

We need a workers party backed by the unions and working within the unions to inact real political change, to show the #workingclass a real alternative to #capitalism and this won't happen through SUTR

Perth anti-racism activists plan protest in city at Reform party conference

Campaigners want to give Nigel Farage’s growing party a “nice big Perth welcome”.

The Courier

So many people out in Glasgow for the Stand Up To Racism demonstration against racism and the far right. Also some really great speakers, a tonne of cool union banners, and fantastic drums from SheBoom - Europe's largest women's drumming circle. I only took terrible photos 🫣
