📣 Join us at Glasgow Green at noon.

Shocking footage of assault by far-right members of Reform UK and their security team emerges from their conference in Birmingham yesterday. The mask slips, as the self appointed ‘protectors of women and children’, who pretend to be ‘respectable’ reveal their true, violent character when a young woman activist challenges their policies at Reform UK’s conference.

You can see the rabid, vicious frenzy of the crowd reaching toward to attack the woman and the security team’s violent handling of the woman. The woman alleges her hair was pulled multiple times by security, she says she was placed on the ground when she complained and a security guard stood on her hair, pulling at her roots which was incredibly painful. It’s also alleged her head was lifted by hair, taking the full weight.

A member of the crowd was heard saying “f**k off b*tch”. Farage’s response from the state was to laugh it off, saying “boring, boring”.

The assaults have been reported to the police.

Audrey Dempsey, Reform UK Councillor will be speaking at the racist Pink Ladies demo next Saturday Sept 12th, allegedly to stand up against violence towards women and girls. She should maybe have that conversation with her own party.

Dempsey spoke at the violent, fascist ‘Unite the Clans’ hate rally in July, at Glasgow Green. She defended her attendance, by claiming that she had seen “nobody even remotely resembling a N**i” at the rally, despite numerous images of protesters there throwing N**i salutes.

Later, she changed her defence and said “I would share a platform with Satan if it meant getting my message across”.

These are the far-right opportunists who are hiding behind the pink facade of next Sat’s racist protest.

Women Against the Far-Right Scotland encourage all anti-racists to join a women led counter demo against the far-right, supported by Sutr on Sat Sept 12th, in Glasgow.

📣 Join us at Glasgow Green at noon.

We say no to the racist weaponisation of violence against women and girls.

Please share with your friends, family, contacts, workmates etc. If you are in a trade union, please ask your branch to support this important antiracist counter demo.

Women’s safety! No to racist hate! ✊

The racist ‘Pink Ladies have called a protest at Glasgow Green on Sept 12th. Women Against the Far-Right Scotland encourage all anti-racists to join this women led counter demo, supported by Sutr to oppose the far-right.

The fascists, racists and domestic abusers that masked up for the first hate rally at Glasgow Green on July 25th and went on a racist rampage through the city; will be in attendance at the Pink Ladies protest. They are keen to project a softer more ‘respectable’ image after the widespread public outcry that followed their previous protest, but it is the same old networks of misogynists, racists and fascists that are organising and mobilising for it.

We say no to the racist weaponisation of violence against women and girls.

📣 Join us at Glasgow Green at noon.

Fascist SDL scum racially abuse a Muslim family and their kids as they walk along Princes St on August 15th.
A disgusting and cowardly attack on a young family going about their day. No one should have to face this sort of abuse and harassment.

The N**is displayed a flag for the UDA, the proscribed loyalist terror group. Police Scotland were at the SDL protest to monitor and are only now investigating after a public outcry. This is the real ‘two tier’ policing, that needs to be exposed!

N**i fake minister, Geoffrey ­Farquharson was also at the SDL protest and today, the Daily Record reveals he is a key player in efforts to link the Scottish far-right with banned Ulster terror groups.

‘One of his sidekicks made blatant “sieg heil” salutes as horrified passers-by in Edinburgh looked on. Police were alerted to the sidekick’s obvious lawbreaking earlier this month but no action has been taken.

‘Mohammed Asif, spokesman for the anti-fascist Stand Up to Racism group, said he was shocked that no arrests were made at the Edinburgh event.

He said: “Police have said they are investigating this but that is absurd. Any investigation should have started immediately, as soon as these vile flags were presented.

“It is hard to believe that people went on to make N**i salutes and were then allowed to walk away. This was a gathering of people who were presenting something that many passers-by would find terrifying.”

Vigil for Jason Arday - Edinburgh

Around 170 people gathered today outside the Scottish Parliament to remember Professor Jason Arday. It was called by Educators for Peace and backed by Stand up to Racism and several other organisations representing Black and neurodivergent communities.

There were many powerful and moving speeches made, including from people who had known him personally. Tears flowed over the racist hounding he suffered, which so contradicted his warm and supportive attitude to all human beings. We heard from the Sheku Bayoh family, and from Black academics who had also had to endure years of racism.

Lena Wanggren from the UCU speaking for Women against the Far Right, talked about how many people were now studying thanks to his inspiration. She quoted him saying ‘Everybody’s life has meaning, everybody’s life has purpose’.
Stand up to Racism joins in that sentiment.

We mourn for Jason and commit to the fight against the racist and far right politics responsible for his death.

We send our thoughts and solidarity to the family and loved ones of Jason Arday.

The right wing press and the far right have orchestrated a racist witch hunt which has produced the most tragic result.

The guns were out for Jason as soon as he became one of Britain’s youngest black professors.

The real goal of the right wing press and far right is to suggest that black people are only promoted to positions because of their skin colour, rather than abilities.

This racist myth only helps boost far right narratives that have no place in reality. They can only be overcome by confronting them head on.

We mourn for Jason and commit to the fight against the racist and far right politics responsible for his death. Join this public vigil organised by Educators for Peace and supported by Stand up to Racism and others.

Sat 22nd Aug, 2pm at the Scottish Parliament.

N**i Scottish Defence League protest last Sat, featured a flag for the Ulster Defence Association a proscribed loyalist terrorist group on Princes St. The banned flag was displayed prominently on one of the busiest streets in Edinburgh. Not a word from the police or the BBC. This is the real ‘two tier’ policing and media that we have.

Fascist groups Patriotic Alternative, Combat 18 and North West Infidels were also there. One of their group was photographed Seig Heiling.

A few familiar hard-right activists used the old SDL label, in contrast to the softer “patriot” branding now preferred by much of the street right, but there was little sign of any serious revival. The group was small and met hostility from ordinary passers-by.

This is the true face of the far-right. Over the last year they have tried to masquerade as ‘protectors’ of women to justify their racist intimidation and violence, to excuse their physical attacks on refugees and migrants. We know that they are vile misogynists who struggle to keep the facade up for long.
