Bristol Against ‘Britain First’!

The far-right group ‘Britain First’ is planning to hold a meeting in Bristol on Sunday 20th of July. We invite all those opposed to their hatred to support our campaign, and call on all venues in Bristol to refuse to provide a space for fascists to organise in our city.

· It is a violent organisation that has carried out a number of attacks on mosques and Muslim homes, as well as having ties to groups like the EDL, the BNP, the National Front and Unionist paramilitaries in Northern Ireland.

· The founder, Jim Dowson, funded the BNP and has been accused of sexual assault. He worked for an anti-women group called ‘Precious Life’ which campaigned against legal abortion, and has publicly supported the death penalty for homosexuality.

Bristol has a proud tradition of solidarity and anti-racism, and we are asking local organisations to support the campaign to oppose Britain First, and circulate our petition.

We have heard they are planning on meeting around 7pm Sunday 20th July at Patchway Station. Please leave your email in the comments section, or email bristolagainstbritainfirst@gmail.com for updates.
