Anti-Nazi League founders call for new national campaign - Group says political movement needed to combat challenge from ‘racist and fascist right’
Quote:
“We need a broader based, imaginative and vibrant campaign which unequivocally opposes all forms of racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism,” the group said in response to a “welcome and timely” call to action from the shadow chancellor, John McDonnell.
Last week, McDonnell asked if “it’s time for an Anti-Nazi League-type cultural and political campaign” to resist “the rise of far-right politics in our society” after a string of racist incidents and at a time when both main parties have been embroiled in race rows.
