People from Stand up to Racism take part in a counter-protest on Whithall in London, as "Tommy Robinson," whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, organised a protest march through London, June 1, 2024
ANTI-FASCIST activists chanted “Nazi scum off our streets” at the weekend in a counter-demonstration against a march and rally organised by “Tommy Robinson.”
An estimated 5,000 fascists attended the London demonstration led by Mr Robinson — real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon — over claims that police have been soft on left-wing protests such as those supporting Palestine while hard on the far right.
The fascists were protected by police as they marched from Victoria station to the Cenotaph, where Mr Robinson was joined by speakers who included unemployed actor Laurence Fox, who heads the racist Reclaim party.
As extremist movements grow on the streets and at the ballot box, the emergence of the Together Alliance points to a vital strategy: unity across trade unions, campaigners and communities, says TONY CONWAY
Once again Tower Hamlets is being targeted by anti-Islam campaigners, this time a revamped and radicalised version of Ukip — the far-right event is now banned by the police, but we’ll be assembling this Saturday to make sure they stay away, says JAYDEE SEAFORTH
