The “Unite the Kingdom” march in London on September 13 exposed the scale of the danger facing Britain. Over 100,000 were mobilised under the banner of Tommy Robinson — a convicted criminal and fascist demagogue — waving the Union Jack as cover for racism, division and hate. This was not a harmless “protest,” but the largest fascist mobilisation in Britain in a generation.
The Communist Party of Britain (CPB) has warned for years that such a moment was coming. In a series of statements and Morning Star editorials, the CPB described the event as the largest fascist mobilisation in a generation, claiming it reflects the way economic despair is being channelled into racist and nationalist sentiment.
