Fascist SDL scum racially abuse a Muslim family and their kids as they walk along Princes St on August 15th.

The N***s displayed a flag for the UDA, the proscribed loyalist terror group. Police Scotland were at the SDL protest to monitor and are only now investigating after a public outcry. This is the real ‘two tier’ policing, that needs to be exposed!

N**i fake minister, Geoffrey ­Farquharson was also at the SDL protest and today, the Daily Record reveals he is a key player in efforts to link the Scottish far-right with banned Ulster terror groups.

‘One of his sidekicks made blatant “sieg heil” salutes as horrified passers-by in Edinburgh looked on. Police were alerted to the sidekick’s obvious lawbreaking earlier this month but no action has been taken.

‘Mohammed Asif, spokesman for the anti-fascist Stand Up to Racism group, said he was shocked that no arrests were made at the Edinburgh event.

He said: “Police have said they are investigating this but that is absurd. Any investigation should have started immediately, as soon as these vile flags were presented.

“It is hard to believe that people went on to make N**i salutes and were then allowed to walk away. This was a gathering of people who were presenting something that many passers-by would find terrifying.”

Vigil for Jason Arday - Edinburgh

Around 170 people gathered today outside the Scottish Parliament to remember Professor Jason Arday. It was called by Educators for Peace and backed by Stand up to Racism and several other organisations representing Black and neurodivergent communities.

There were many powerful and moving speeches made, including from people who had known him personally. Tears flowed over the racist hounding he suffered, which so contradicted his warm and supportive attitude to all human beings. We heard from the Sheku Bayoh family, and from Black academics who had also had to endure years of racism.

Lena Wanggren from the UCU speaking for Women against the Far Right, talked about how many people were now studying thanks to his inspiration. She quoted him saying ‘Everybody’s life has meaning, everybody’s life has purpose’.
Stand up to Racism joins in that sentiment.

We mourn for Jason and commit to the fight against the racist and far right politics responsible for his death.

We send our thoughts and solidarity to the family and loved ones of Jason Arday.

The right wing press and the far right have orchestrated a racist witch hunt which has produced the most tragic result.

The guns were out for Jason as soon as he became one of Britain’s youngest black professors.

The real goal of the right wing press and far right is to suggest that black people are only promoted to positions because of their skin colour, rather than abilities.

This racist myth only helps boost far right narratives that have no place in reality. They can only be overcome by confronting them head on.

We mourn for Jason and commit to the fight against the racist and far right politics responsible for his death. Join this public vigil organised by Educators for Peace and supported by Stand up to Racism and others.

Sat 22nd Aug, 2pm at the Scottish Parliament.

N**i Scottish Defence League protest last Sat, featured a flag for the Ulster Defence Association a proscribed loyalist terrorist group on Princes St. The banned flag was displayed prominently on one of the busiest streets in Edinburgh. Not a word from the police or the BBC. This is the real ‘two tier’ policing and media that we have.

Fascist groups Patriotic Alternative, Combat 18 and North West Infidels were also there. One of their group was photographed Seig Heiling.

A few familiar hard-right activists used the old SDL label, in contrast to the softer “patriot” branding now preferred by much of the street right, but there was little sign of any serious revival. The group was small and met hostility from ordinary passers-by.

This is the true face of the far-right. Over the last year they have tried to masquerade as ‘protectors’ of women to justify their racist intimidation and violence, to excuse their physical attacks on refugees and migrants. We know that they are vile misogynists who struggle to keep the facade up for long.

Well done to Falkirk For All who worked tirelessly today to put on an amazing Unity March and Rally. It was an important celebration of the town’s unity and the collapse of the far-right influence a year after they held the biggest far-right protest in Scotland. Despite months of planning their ‘The Right Unites’ hate rally attracted just over 100 racists from across Scotland. We outnumbered them 4:1! Antiracists are the majority in society, but we need to be organised.

Falkirk racists exposed! The far-right are not ‘local people with local concerns’. They are part of organised networks of racists, fascists and white supremacist groups who spread hate, Islamophobia and racist violence.

‘Voices For Falkirk’ and ‘Scottish Freedom Patriots’ participated in the violent, racist disorder in Glasgow last month. They have invited all the fascist agitators who organised the Glasgow hate rally to Falkirk this weekend for their ‘The Right Unites’ rally.

Join us in Falkirk this Sat 15 August, to march in unity against racism and fascism. Let’s celebrate our diversity and unity. Aye to refugees!

Hate Divides. Unity Builds.
