Fascist Tommy Robinson AKA Stephen Yaxley Lennon has been released from prison. He is calling for 'the UK's biggest free speech festival" on 13 September in London. The reality is Robinson wants to bring his far right thug supporters onto the streets to spread racist division and Islamophobia. We have halted his attemps to build a fascist street movement in Britian again and again - but the context is even more dangerous now.
Reform UK's rise is staggering. The local elections saw Reform replacing the Tories and vying for Labour strongholds. Farage is setting the agenda on immigration - and Starmer adopting the same rhetoric - is giving confidence to the fascists.
But the far right can be stopped. Last summer, mass anti-rascist resistance halted the far right riots. We marched in our tens of thousands to oppose Tommy Robinson in October and February. But on Saturday 13 September we have to do it again. Join us.
Leeds & Wakefield Stand Up To Racism will be sending a coach to London on 13 September to oppose the Fascist Stephen Yaxley Lennon aka Tommy Robinson and his supporters. Join us on the national demonstration. Route to be confirmed.
