CAMPAIGN group Stand Up to Racism is organising to oppose fascist Tommy Robinson’s “Put the Christ back into Christmas” event in London tomorrow.
The anti-racist group will be joined by figures from faith communities and singer-songwriter, author and activist Billy Bragg.
Mr Bragg said: “The message of Christmas is one of empathy and goodwill to all.
“Tommy Robinson’s divisive notion of Christianity seeks to push Christ’s teachings to the margins in the name of a belligerent nationalism.”
Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is following up on September’s Unite the Kingdom rally with an event promoting far-right Christian nationalism — a move that is already being opposed by the Church of England.
Stand Up To Racism & Care4Calais will be gathering at 1pm at Downing Street to oppose Robinson’s event planned for 2pm at the Trafalgar Square end of Whitehall.
The gathering will be used as a collection point for the Care4Calais “Coats4Calais” winter appeal.
Charlotte Khan, from Care4Calais, said: “At Christmas we celebrate a child born into a family who themselves became refugees.”
Stand Up to Racism co-convener Weyman Bennett said: “Robinson is cynically using the Christmas period to promote his divisive agenda.”
