(from Women Against the Far Right Bristol) "Across the country bands of far-right thugs are organising into vigilante groups. Receiving thousands of pounds in public donations, these anti-migrant patrols harass people of colour, demanding to see identity documents. They have no cause of suspicion other than the shade of a person’s skin or accent. They have no legitimate authority other than racist intimidation. Rather predictably Reform UK’s, Richard Tice, has previously called for more of these racist patrols. These groups claim they protect women yet the this Guardian article shows not only the sickening hypocrisy but also their true colours. It comes after almost half of those convicted in the 2024 rioter where previously reported for domestic abuse AND 1 in 5 people arrested after the 2024 riots have SINCE been reported for domestic abuse. This was never about protecting women. This is about the far-right using women’s bodies to justify their racism and hate. Challenge their narrative, fight back" #WomenAgainstTheFarRight #StandUpToRacism #WomenTogether #Bristol #UK #UnitedKingdom #farRight #fascism
