Resist Britain First in Manchester 21st February

On Saturday 21st February Paul Golding's Britain First intend to march through the centre of Manchester, demanding "Remigration" and spreading their politics of hatred and fear. Locals intend to show that they and their divisive rhetoric aren't welcome.


Britain First's deputy leader isn't particularly subtle about their political leanings 

In some ways this is looking like a rerun of last August's march, with Britain First once again gathering near Piccadilly Station and heading to St Peter's Square to watch some terrible propaganda videos and incoherent speeches from Paul and his Reichsleiter Ashlea Simon. Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) has once again called for a counterdemo to muster at Piccadilly Gardens. A heavy-handed targeted policing operation saw many autonomous antifascists kettled near Piccadilly Station last year, allowing the fascists to march with minimal opposition.

In an effort to mitigate state oppression this time around, Resist Britain First is calling for opposition to assemble slightly away from Piccadilly Station, in Sackville Gardens, M1 3WA. There has been a callout to other nearby towns and cities to bolster the ranks of the locals in countering the fascist march. As such a number of people are heading across the Peaks on Saturday morning, and we're asking as many people as possible to join us on the streets of Manchester. Travel light and be prepared for a long day.

SCARF Statement – In Response to UKIP's March on 8th November

On Saturday 8th November a small band of fascists marched through Sheffield with the support and protection of a massive policing operation. Despite being billed as a national mobilisation, Nick Tenconi’s UKIP barely managed to draw 100 attendees from across the country, dwarfed by around 800 antifascists, the overwhelming majority from Sheffield. With less than two weeks’ notice, people across the city spread the word and turned out, making it clear that fascists are not welcome in our city. Despite outnumbering them 8:1, a feat widely celebrated this week, we were ultimately unable to stop the march. We need to learn from this so that the next time we ask “whose streets?”, the answer rings loud, clear and true. UKIP only marched because the police enabled them. South Yorkshire Police’s last-minute Section 14 order criminalised almost all opposition while granting UKIP a protected route through our city. Hundreds of officers, many drafted in from other forces and armed with bato...

False Flag

HOW TO START A CULTURE WAR? Surely every true-born Englishman has by now downed a pint of Coronation ale, got the ladder out of the shed, and using British-made cable ties, tethered a flag to a lamp post in their street. Or is the whole thing a hoax, a GBeebies fever dream? There are far fewer flags per square mile than even during a lesser football tournament, those that are out seem pretty localised and nothing compared to the spontaneous display of Ukrainian flags at the outset of war. None of this has stopped the entire billionaire funded pundit class (Wootton, Goodwin, Oakeshott, GB News...) stepping up and declaring that the English lion has finally roared. Astroturfing is the art of creating “grassroots” movements from the top, and this flagshagging exercise is such a plastic lawn that it comes with its own set of garden furniture. The main Facebook group has only got 3.7k members! The few photos on it show a max of three flags each. KERB YOUR ENTHUSIASM As an action desig...

UKIP If You Want To – Sheffield Says No To Hate

Contribute to the fundraiser to support  arrested  anti-racist activists Antifascists gathering near the cathedral – credit @racheloleary_ Saturday saw 800 Sheffielders turn out onto the streets and attempt to block UKIP's hate march. Billed as a “Mass Deportations” march, UKIP mustered under a hundred “patriots”, around a quarter of whom were livestreamers. The day began jubilantly enough at the Cathedral, the original start point for the far right, but now occupied by hundreds of antifascists. However, in the event, facilitated by police violence, the far-right were able to march. The majority of the counter demonstration went down to Waingate, where antifascists attempted to hold the road. There they were kettled by police and herded into Castlegate by a combination of police violence & ushering from (non-SCARF) stewards. This crowd then remained contained by police on Castlegate.  A group of forty antifascists managed to break away from the kettle and sto...
