    Counterprotesters

    Far-Right UK Riots Spark 'Stand Up to Racism' Counterprotests

    "The majority of people in Britain abhor Robinson and the far right," says one joint statement. "We are the majority, they are the few."

    From Birmingham, Brighton, and Bristol, to Liverpool, London, Newcastle, and Northampton, counterprotesters gathered across the United Kingdom on Wednesday to decry far-right riots and attacks against immigrants and Muslims.

    Since the weekend, far-right protesters have targeted mosques, libraries, and even a hotel housing asylum-seekers—responding at least in part to online disinformation about the suspect in a deadly stabbing attack on a children's dance class. The demonstrations and expectations they would continue Wednesday evening drew anti-racists to the streets in several U.K. cities.

    UK Labour MP Says Right-Wing Politicians, Media Fueled Xenophobic Mob Attacks

    "There are politicians and there are journalists who have played an active role in fanning the flames of hate and division, and we are seeing that play out," said Zarah Sultana.

    As British Prime Minister Keir Starmer covened an emergency security meeting on Monday to respond to violent attacks on immigrant and Muslim communities that have spread across the United Kingdom in recent days, progressive MP Zarah Sultana said the crisis—fueled by rampant disinformation and xenophobia—must serve as a reckoning for politicians and journalists who have "fanned the flames" of hatred for years.

    Sultana, who represents Coventry South in the House of Commons, appeared on ITV's "Good Morning Britain" to discuss the violent riots that have taken place in at least a dozen cities across the U.K. in recent days, mostly in England, with far-right protesters attacking mosques, libraries, and a hotel housing asylum-seekers.

    ​People protest the Tories' anti-strike bill in London on January 16, 2023.

    Tories Advance 'Indefensible' Anti-Worker Bill as Thousands March to Defend Right to Strike

    "You're either with nurses, teachers, firefighters, and frontline workers. Or you're with the Tory government," said the Enough Is Enough campaign. "It's time for everyone to pick a side."

    Lawmakers from the United Kingdom's Conservative Party advanced anti-strike legislation on Monday night despite the objections of tens of thousands of petitioners and thousands of demonstrators outside, but economic justice advocates made clear that the fight for fundamental workers' rights is far from over.

    "After last night, the choice is clear," the Enough Is Enough campaign against neoliberalism tweeted Tuesday morning. "You're either with nurses, teachers, firefighters, and frontline workers. Or you're with the Tory government. It's time for everyone to pick a side."
