50 fascists are massively outnumbered in Leeds by at least 300 anti fascists! Totally pathetic from them for a national demo. One seen giving a Nazi salute. We know who they are and they’re not welcome. From the Pennines to the sea Yorkshire will be fascist free.

#NoRacismNoFascism
Thanks to everyone who came out to oppose the fascists in Leeds today. We massively outnumbered them and they were given a clear message - go away and don’t come back!
Fantastic response from local people as 3-400 hundred antiracists & antifascists take their message through Leeds city centre right now

Thanks so much for coming today and speaking so well. Your pro refugee position is so important in parliament and in east Leeds. We’re proud to work with you. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Today the far right travelled to Seacroft to target refugees and try to whip up racism and division.
I was proud to be part of our local community’s response - a demonstration showing unity with everyone in our community.
No to racism. No to fascism. Stop scapegoating refugees.
✊💃🎤🎸 REBEL SONGS NEXT SAT! Celebrate Leeds’ anti-fascist history on 21 Sept 4 to 10pm with an anti-fascist gig at The Holbeck WMC, LS11 9QX ahead of the plaque unveiling on 29 Sept commemorating The Battle Of Holbeck Moor. Free or pay as you feel.
Today I joined the Leeds trade union movement and other Leeds residents to say no to the far right and their racism, violence, scapegoating of minorities and terrorising of communities.
The far right’s politics of hate and division can’t solve the problems our communities face.
📣📣 Keep West Yorkshire Fascist free!
🗓️ Tomorrow Saturday 15 April at midday - show solidarity with a mosque facing harassment. Celebrate diversity and say no to Islamophobia and hate. ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏻✊🏾✊🏼

Using the disorder in Leeds last night as an opportunity to whip up hatred, Tommy Robinson has been tweeting about ‘migrants’ - stoking divisions & spreading lies. He is marching in London on 27 July - join the Leeds & Wakefield coach to oppose him. Link in bio for coach tickets.
We have received a handful of racist responses to our solidarity (below) to those who are facing racism & Islamophobia after disorder in Leeds yesterday. Well done to the much larger number in the Leeds community who agree with us. Don’t let the racists divide us.

Solidarity to all the England players who were subject to racist & facist abuse tonight. Well done to the England & Bulgaria fans who opposed the abuse. Whether in UK or Bulgaria or anywhere we will always fight to be the anti racist majority & defend our multicultural societies.
The two groups of protesters are being kept apart by police in Leeds. Around 150 people carrying St George’s flags shouted “you’re not English any more”, while the pro-Palestine protesters replied "there are many, many more of us than you" and "where's your Tommy gone?"
So pleased to welcome Leeds East MP Richard Burgon last night. Alongside trade union speakers, banners, faith groups and others - opposing the fascists and racists in Leeds and everywhere and defending and celebrating our diverse city. Cc

These are peoples home & lives. If you care about quality of life maybe consider a journalism that focuses on public services & the extraordinary community workers there are. Don’t come to our city to shame & express disgust at our friends, colleagues & neighbours.

Modern Britain. People picking through filthy piles of clothes like they do in the slums of India. The shame of it. This is Harehills in Leeds
@TalkTV
We agree! We were proud to have organised a counter protest that outnumbered them today, and if there’s a next time, you would be very welcome

Its completely unacceptable that Far Right thugs in Leeds today were aping the symbol of Adolf Hitler ‘The Nazi Salute’ on our streets.
Elsewhere violence and looting. Attacking people based on colour and Police.
This is how fascism starts and we need to stand together.
Manchester anti racists and anti fascists did brilliantly against the Far Right today. Solidarity - Nazis not welcome in Leeds, Manchester or anywhere!
Although it’s easy to laugh, as this post points out it’s not just the outfit. The Hitler salutes show the politics - they are the real deal and we fail to take them seriously as Nazis at our peril. Oppose them always.
Little Hitlers, including Alek Yerbury aka poundshop Oswald Mosley, sieg heiling in Leeds yesterday.
They will get nowhere as long as those like the anti fascists who outnumbered them yesterday stay on Guard. Pic by

The far-right are violently attacking Muslims, refugees and other minority communities and scapegoating them for all the problems in our society.
Instead of their message of racist hate, we need to build unity.
