SATURDAY will see the biggest anti-fascist demonstration in decades with the public urged to put on a united front against far-right mobs “whipping themselves into a frenzy” following the arrest of Tommy Robinson.

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said it’s “time for the left to be resolute and determined in the face of racism” after the fascist, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was remanded in custody over an alleged terror offence today.

Thousands are set to join the counter-protest in London to show supporters of the former member of the British National Party and founder of the English Defence League does not speak for Britain.
