Anti-fascists to mobilise across Britain as racists expected to cause mayhem this weekend
A Stand Up To Racism demonstration in Manchester after a police officer was suspended after a video which appeared to show a man being kicked as he lay on the floor, July 25, 2024

THOUSANDS of anti-fascists are set to mobilise across Britain as the country braces for a weekend of far-right activity.

Rallies supported by the far right are expected across 25 towns and cities after fascists seized on the fatal stabbing of three young girls in Southport to whip up hatred.

More than 100 arrests were made this week during unrest in London, Hartlepool, Manchester and Aldershot, in actions that have targeted mosques and hotels housing asylum-seekers.
