And then there’s the protest of standing up against hate and division on 26 October – something you just can’t miss. For all who want to shout and show their voice for unity, come to this protest – Stop Tommy Robinson and his hate rhetoric. But what is it really about, this protest?
What you saw was not a street protest – this is a direct reaction to the continued and abhorrent anti-racist hate campaign headlined by Tommy Robinson. This protest has been organized by activists, community leaders, and ordinary people for the simple reason we will not stand for racism, Islamophobia, or xenophobia.
It also shows unity against the attempt to fuel divisions in society by Robinson. It is a clear message, that we stand united against hate speech and discrimination.
Why Stop Tommy Robinson?
Tommy Robinson is one of those personalities shrouded in controversy for years. His anti-Islamic views, inflammatory speeches, and violent rallies have harmed many communities. But why should you care?
Stopping Robinson means more than stopping one man—it’s about not allowing damaging ideology to spread. His rhetoric has inspired acts of hate and created the feeling that certain groups are unsafe in their own communities. We have a moral responsibility to stand up and say, “No more.”.
We would remind readers that the tactics of individuals like Robinson have very real-world consequences. His demonstrations inspired violent confrontations; his rhetoric egged on a range of extremists. The moment we allow such voices space is precisely the moment we cede the halls of our society to hate and division.
If we ignore this demo, we risk giving Robinson and those like him a free pass to continue their harmful activities. By not standing up, we silently endorse the kind of world where hatred is accepted. That’s why your participation in this protest is so vital.
