Organise mass trade union defence!

The fascist rampage against mosques and asylum centres can and must be stopped. The question is how.

Not by looking to the Starmer government, which came into office on the back of supporting Zionist genocide against the Palestinians and promising swift deportation of migrants. It’s suicidal to rely on the cops to defend the mosques or asylum centres; the power of the state will come down ten times harder on pro-Palestinian protesters and minorities than against the fascists.

Not by impotent liberal protests chanting “refugees are welcome here” as asylum centres are being set on fire.

The only force we can look to is the trade union movement. What’s needed is for union branches to reach out to local mosques, asylum centres and minority neighbourhoods and organise members to assist in their defence. Union leaders have mouthed fine words about the need for solidarity with mosques and refugee centres but Starmer’s lackeys are not going to make this real. It’s up to the union members to take action! Talk to co-workers and act now in preparation for further provocations by the fascists.
