Far right
Does Britain have a fascist movement?
Liam Mac Uaid argues that while Britain does not have a mass fascist movement the votes for the far right and the durability of groups like the BNP point to their potential.
The far right in Britain has put down deep roots in some working class communities. Former Labour supporters and younger people who have never […]
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 […]

Fascism and state bans
The Pandora’s Box of racism, Islamophobia and homophobia has been well and truly opened and the winners out of all of this will be the far right, the BNP and other fascist groups in Britain.

Unite Against Fascism conference – support this resolution
Remember the Anti-Nazi League and Rock Against Racism. The movement was not so divided then as opposed to now. Searchlight, Hope Not Hate, UAF and other anti-fascist initiatives should be pulling together within a unified anti-fascist movement.

The hatchet needs to be buried […]
