SR: Take down Birmingham spy cameras!
The erection of over 200 CCTV and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) spy cameras in the Sparkbrook and Washwood Heath areas of the city, including 72 covert or hidden cameras, combines state racism, Islamophobia, the surveillance state and the “war on terror” all rolled up into one.

Socialist Resistance statement against the banning of the veil
Throughout Europe there is a growing movement that seeks to ban Muslim women who chose to do so from wearing the veil.

The rise of Islamophobia
Alf Filer writes
As the crises of capitalism continue to deepen internationally, so does the movement spread for scapegoating of others. This is not surprising nor is it new. In the 1930’s it was the great lie of the world Jewish conspiracy that was used to stir up hatred and anti-Semitism and today it is xenophobic […]

Defend the right to wear the niqab and burqa
The ban on minarets in Switzerland , followed by the rising tide of Islamophobia in Europe, is a move that Socialists and anti-racists must challenge at all times.

SR says: Countermobilise against fascism, independently of UAF where necessary
Local countermobilisation is key. Numerous mobilisations, from Codnor to Bolton, have shown that UAF’s frail national infrastructure is not a substitute for the need to build local anti-fascist activist groups. Local organisation has to be build on a real united front basis where possible, drawing in the unions, minorities communities and the broader community.
Our argument […]
