Communist Party statement on the wave of far-right violence targeting Muslims and migrants

THE Communist Party unequivocally condemns the racist and Islamophobic attacks by far-right thugs on communities, immigrants and refugees across Britain over the last week.

It is clear that these actions were planned by a range of far-right figureheads, commentators and organisations, amounting to a far-right offensive.

This offensive has been brought about by the mainstream media, politicians and others who have done nothing to challenge the root causes of racism in Britain. On the contrary, their anti-immigrant rhetoric has for years given far-right extremists a platform on which to build and grow.
