Lewis Nielsen Brighton UAF :

"For those of you who don't know, this Sunday, March for England (MfE) are planning to march along Brighton seafront. MfE are a racist, far-right organisation that has links with the English Defence League.
In previous years, MfE supporters have made Nazi salutes, and shouted racist, sexist and homophobic abuse at passers by.
Its important that we get as many people as possible to join the counter demonstration to show MfE that racists aren't welcome in Brighton, or anywhere else. So bring your friends and join the counter demo this Sunday at 11.30am at the seafront side of West Street."
 Part of the police instructions for MFE are as follows.
"Those taking part in the march are not allowed to carry banners, other than those in support of the March for England or the cross of St George, engage in any unlawful behaviour or display Nazi salutes."

Nazi Salutes?

Why would they need to say that?

Because they're Nazi filth.

The Brighton Unity statement is here.

Stand Up to UKIP Protest Farage and his racist chums.
 Portsmouth Guildhall Square 7.00 PM Monday 28th.


Whilst it is undeniably true that UKIP are a democratic and not a Nazi party ,they are a thoroughly racist organisation.The growth in their support creates the situation where the other parties attempt to outflank them and public discourse moves in an evermore racist direction.
This leads to a situation which creates a space for fascist organisations to grow.

It is also important to point out that their policies far from being new and fresh are just very right wing.

They represent the Tory Party of the 1950s,when racial minorities were marginalised the LGBT community was invisible and fearful, and women were expected to be  well tailored and quiescent accessories.

It is important we have a vibrant and noisy demonstration against Farage and co.

Bring Trade Union and Community banners and placards.

Let's send them packing with a flea in their ear !

THEY WANT TO TAX THE POOR NOT THE RICH.
UKIP wants to introduce a flat rate
income tax of 31 percent. That means low-paid workers would face a huge tax hike—while the Duke of Westminster, who is worth a cool £7.8bn, would have his tax cut.

FARAGE IS A TAX DODGER.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage says he is a man of the people. The
Daily Mirror proved he is not. It exposed the fact that Farage opened a
trust fund in an offshore tax haven,in a bid to save thousands of pounds in tax—
money that could be spent on schools, hospitals and public housing.
NIGEL ( SNOUT IN TROUGH) FARAGE IS AN EXPENSES FREELOADER WHO MAKES MARIA MILLER LOOK LIKE AN AMATEUR. 
  
UKIP claims to be anti-establishment. But Farage is
a private school educated,ex-Tory City broker. On topof his £81,500 a year salary as an MEP, he has claimed £2m of taxpayers’ money in expenses and
allowances. Not bad for someone who claims to oppose the EU.
THE POLITICS OF SCAPEGOATING.
UKIP blames migrant workers from Eastern Europe for the economic crisis,
unemployment and lack of housing.
This is a lie: the bankers and their rich friends in the City created the crisis—and they want the poor to pay. Immigrants haven’t shut
down major employers, closed hospital services or
sent your gas and electricity bills through the roof.

 
BIGOTS AND RACISTS.

UKIP is riddled with racists, sexists,homophobes and bigots. Nigel Farage
says his political hero is Enoch Powell, whose 1968 ‘Rivers of Blood’
speech has been a touchstone for racists and fascists
ever since. When fascists were exposed among UKIP
election candidates, Farage admitted the party
couldn’t vet its candidates to keep them out.
AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS.
UKIP wants to take money awayfrom state schools and give it to
private schools like Eton.UKIP boasts that if it got into
power it would scrap the European Convention
on Human Rights.
This act protects us all.
Its measures include our right to a fair trial and to freedom of
assembly. It bans slavery andtorture.
AGAINST EQUAL RIGHTS FOR LESBIANS AND GAYS.


UKIP opposes same-sex marriage. They
say there is no demand for same-sex marriage, ‘apart from
a small but noisy minority within the gay community’. They claim same-sex
marriage will ‘undermine the position of the church’.
ANTI ENVIRONMENT AND WANTS CASH FOR ARMAMENTS.
UKIP pledges to massively increase military expenditure,
building seven aircraft carriers.This would cost around £48.3bn—
almost half the NHS budget for a year.
UKIP wants to slash the number of wind farms and
launch a £90bn nuclear power programme.

Brighton Unity Statement against the March for England 2014


 Last year, around 1500 Brighton residents from different backgrounds came out in unity to show the racist MfE that they are not welcome in brighton. Below is a Unity Statement against the March For England signed by various Brighton groups and trade unions. We welcome support from all groups and individuals who want to sign up to the statement. To add your organisation just email brighton@uaf.org.uk
Brighton is a brilliant and vibrant city where many people of different cultures, backgrounds, abilities and faiths come together. It has a positive and unique character which its residents enjoy and embrace. Brighton people live here in the knowledge that they will be valued and that the things which make each individual different are celebrated here – not despised. We take great pleasure and pride in being surrounded by humanity in all its exciting diversity.
Because of this it is very saddening to discover that the far right group March for England, which is a division of the violent and racist organisation the English Defence League, is to march in Brighton (on April 27 2014). In previous years, participants in the March for England have made Nazi salutes and shouted homophobic, sexist and racist abuse at passers-by.
When groups like this come to Brighton it is because our multicultural city in all its diversity proves that their own doctrine of hate is wrong, and they want to damage our unity. That is why we stand together: black, white and Asian; people of all faiths and of no faith; trade unionists; people of different political persuasions; University, school and college students; people of all abilities; whatever our sexuality.
In Brighton we all stand together. And when someone tries to threaten our community we must stand together even more firmly and join the counter demonstration on 27th April, meeting at 11.30am at the bottom of West Street.
