Did you actually read that Independent article that you posted on Twitter

“Michael Bradley, also of Stand up to Racism, was present at the event, and stressed there were some marchers who were not racist and were genuinely concerned about terror attacks.”

Tommy Robinson was present but was not leading it or there in an official capacity.

Now I despise the far right but part of the reason they gain support is the perceived inability to have serious conversations about race and integration in this country.

Clearly there are worrying links between the FLA and the far right but by simplistically labelling everyone who attended a racist you are perpetuating that problem.
