“I am wearing it because it is my choice, I can choose what to do and I know I should be here.” She added, “Another time someone asked me if my husband knew I was on a protest because of my niqab.” “I wear the niqab and one person said, ‘Take it off’, because they wanted to film my face.” “Those on the other side are racists and we need to stand against them,” she told Socialist Worker. They have targeted a picket line by rail workers in the RMT union, and Socialist Worker and SUTR campaigning stalls.Īlina has been part of mobilising against the Yellow Vests in Manchester. “We have fought against racism and we have to stand up to it now.”įar right “Yellow Vest” protesters have been organising in nearby Manchester City Centre in recent weeks. “You’ve got racist graffiti that looks back to the times of colonialism,” she said. “The move to populism is helping the right wing and racism to grow,” she said.Īnd Lewis pointed to racist incidents in the run-up to the far right rally, including “No blacks” being sprayed onto a Congolese family’s door in Salford. Around 600 people joined a counter-protest organised by Stand Up To Racism and Unite Against Fascism to oppose Tommy Robinson in Salford (Pic: Guy Smallman) Kate Lewis, a Labour councillor from Salford, told Socialist Worker it was important to join the counter-protest “because racism is growing in this country”.
It brought together Labour Party members, other socialists, trade unionists and students. He also announced that he was starting a new media venture with Australian alt-right figure Avi Yemeni-who calls himself the “world’s proudest Jewish Nazi.”Ĭhants of “Nazi scum, off our street” rang out from the counter-protest on the other side of the building. “No one will take notice until we start to see take their seats,” he said to loud cheers. He told the crowd that the movement had to politicise. Robinson is also still looking at a potential lash-up with Ukip. It was billed as a screening of “Panodrama”, a film targeting the “globalist” agenda of the BBC, playing on far right and antisemitic themes.Īmong the far right crowd were people near the stage with T-shirts branding the BBC the “Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation”. It was all set up and rehearsed - NOTHING was impromptu.The rally outside the BBC was organised on a politically harder basis than the Brexit Betrayal march. That would be because it was rehearsed to look as if this was how it was revealed to him. Something about the female does not add up, when she got in the back of a car to show Robinson what she had recorded to looked weird.
Re the secret filming at what point did she present the BBC with the email, the programme must have known who she was and her connections, by the way who is she? She raised the matter of a row with Robinson and that she had recorded it, why.don't these people trust each other? She was the one who did an interview with a newspaper and then wanted it stopped.why do the interview in the first place? The intention was to make Sweeney & Panorama look fools for not making checks but all that was asked was did Robinson send it, it was the female he I assumed calmed it had come from Robinson and supplied it to the programme. The video is "best" with the hidden camera footage of Sweeney, much of which was leaked in advance. I don't think the fake (SMS) text worked as intended (not sure what the intention was).
MY problem is them presenting themselves as being the ones you can trust who always tell the absolute truth when it's still just one viewpoint and no more unbiased than any other, this isn't just about Tommy Robinson, Corbyn supporters and Scottish Nationalists would also say the BBC has a bias against them and their views. Maybe not, it's a big organisation and some people may have different agendas. So your point is they don't always take the side of the establishment? What was the establishment position regarding the sinking of the Belgrano and Margaret Thatcher's reaction to being challenged by a member of the public on Nationwide. What was the establishment position re Princess Diana and the exclusive Panorama interview with her?
What was the establishment position on Weapons of Mass destruction that resulted in the Hutton Inquiry and departure of Greg Dyke, They present the establishment point of view which is no the same as "the truth". It does annoy me how the BBC hold themselves up as arbiters of truth when they're just as biased as everyone else.
