• WE must unite to halt the rise of the far right. The 15,000-strong violent far right protest to “free Tommy Robinson” on Saturday June 9 has raised major questions for all those who value our diversity.

The racist right – from hardcore Nazis, through the FLA/DFLA to “For Britain” and UKIP – are using Robinson to reorganise. Nazi salutes and Islamophobia were at the centre of the mobilisation.

This is the first serious attempt since the collapse of the English Defence League (EDL) to develop a racist street movement and give it a political form.

It is supported internationally by notorious figures including Geert Wilders from the Dutch Islamophobic right and Steve Bannon, former adviser to Donald Trump.

It is absolutely vital that all who oppose this come together in a united mass movement powerful enough to drive back these new developments on the far right.

Donald Trump has played a major role in galvanising the racist right. We will take to the streets for the Together Against Trump demonstration coinciding with his visit on July 13.

And when Robinson’s supporters take to the streets again on July 14, we will protest against them too. Wherever the far right’s support grows so does racism and violence.

Let’s come together to defend our multi-cultural society from those who spread hatred and division.

• July 13: Join the Together Against Trump National Demonstration when Trump Visits Britain.

• July 14: Join the Unity Protest against Tommy Robinson’s far right supporters in central London.
