About Us

Formed in the wake of 2024's race riots, Sheffield Communities Against Racism & Fascism (SCARF) is a collective of concerned citizens seeking to counter the threat of a resurgent and emboldened far right. We do this though building stronger community bonds, promoting positive social change, and confronting racist street movements.

SCARF doesn't seek to dictate tactics or strategy, nor are we interested in accumulating power or influence. We exist to coordinate, network, and mobilize resistance to racism and fascism in Sheffield and the wider area.

We can be found on a few social media platforms or by emailing scarfsheffield@protonmail.com

Palestine Action Solidarity Mobilisation Sheffield

On Thursday 26th June, several SCARFers attended the Palestine Action (PA) solidarity demonstration outside Sheffield Town Hall. A few hundred people turned out to voice their opposition to the government's intention to proscribe PA – effectively labelling anyone associated with, or expressing support for, the movement a terrorist. This authoritarian attempt to silence dissent needs to be resisted, but it's also a sign of desperation and a state acknowledgement of the effectiveness of PA's tactics. SCARF offers its wholehearted support and solidarity for PA's aims and the tactics they employ towards ending the UK's complicity in a genocide. MINOR FLARE UP The complete absence of visible policing at the demonstration was noticable. Presumably the local fuzz decided their presence would do more to energise or antagonise the crowd, but we can't help feel an opportunity was missed to capitalise on the light touch approach. While the majority of attendees were focuse...

Who Are Ya!? – Great British National Protest

With the ever changing landscape of the UK's far right, we thought it might be a good time to look at a few of the pertinent groups and individuals active in 2025. Given the constant bickering, betrayal, regicide, and legal trouble in fascist circles there's a good chance some of this stuff will be out of date before the ink is dry, but hopefully it'll be a useful snapshot in time. So, look forward to some spilt tea on Britain First, UKIP, the various Patriotic Alternative splinters, and (of course) the patron saint of bell-ends Stephen Yaxley Lennon. But to kick things off we're going to pinch the cheeks of the baby of the movement – Great British National Protest (né e Strike) Great British National Strike Protest The new kid on the fascist block GBNP is built around the ‘personality’ of former soldier and current grifter Richard Donaldson. Initially branding themselves Great British National Strike as part of an attempt to co-opt left wing language and appeal to...

Definitely Maybe Fascists in Manchester – Britain First 2nd August 2025

On Saturday 2 nd August Britain First (BF) marched 500 or so fascists through the centre of Manchester. Some recent hotel anti-migrant protests have capitalised on actual fears and grievances, occasionally muddying the waters between genuinely concerned (albeit it largely misinformed) locals, and racist shit stirrers and far right activists. There can be no such doubt about last weekend's event. Former National Front activist Paul Golding and his cosplaying weirdos are not shy about their political positions. While wrapped in a veneer of plastic patriotism and faux Christianity, their message is unabashedly hateful, ultranationalist, and white supremacist. Those who gathered behind their 'Remigration' banner are either committed fascists or complete morons. The level of support for Paul's particular flavour of bigoted fuckwittery shouldn't be overstated. There are 3 million people in Greater Manchester so, even ignoring the fact attendees came from across the c...
