HUNDREDS of anti-racists and anti-fascists turned out on Saturday to counter demonstrations by far-right activists targeting refugees and LGBT events.

Around 200 anti-racists marched through Bristol where racists last week targeted refugee accommodation in the town.

Michael Bradley of Stand Up to Racism (SUTR), which organised the protest, said: “The march was to warn the far right not to come back to Bristol to spread hatred and division, and to show that the city was welcoming to people fleeing war and persecution.”
