Boris Johnson’s re-election means the Tories’ racist agenda will continue. His infamous statements about black people having ‘watermelon smiles’ and Muslim women looking like ‘bank robbers’ show us where he’s coming from.

The ‘hostile environment’ for migrants and the scapegoating of refugees remain at the heart of Tory policy. Their new ‘points based’ immigration system is all about increasing division and stirring up racism.

Anti-racists need to show that we will resist this government’s attempts to divide and rule.

From Trump and Bolsonaro to Salvini and Orban, the racist right are on the march internationally. Islamophobia and antisemitism are on the rise.

In response, UN anti-racism day protests are being held not just in London and Glasgow but across Europe and in the US. We are part of an international movement that says no to racism and fascism. Join the protests.

The coach from Harlow will pick up at 10:30 am in Playhouse Square and leave London at approximately 4:30 pm. Tickets are £8 waged and £5 unwaged. If money is a problem don’t let this stop you coming: mail us on SUTRHarlow@gmail.com and we’ll sort something out!
