Anti-fascists to take to London to counter-protest far right march
Anti-fascists says Tommy Robinson's ‘Brexit Betrayal’ demo is simply another attempt to build a violent racist street movement

THOUSANDS of anti-racism activists will march in central London on Sunday in a counter-demonstration against fascist thugs.

As former English Defence League leader “Tommy Robinson” – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – and Ukip attempt to “capitalise” on the Brexit crisis through a “Brexit Betrayal” march, a major counter-protest will be held in the hope of stopping them in their tracks.

The counter-demonstration is supported by a wide cross-section of anti-racist groups, trade unions, women’s, LGBT+, Muslim, Jewish and other faith and community groups.
