UAF – Reject racist & Islamophobic Pegida UK – Saturday 4 April London......
The far right Islamophobic Pegida UK aim to recreate the hatred of their allies elsewhere in Europe where thousands have massed targeting the Muslim community. However, a 3000-strong Newcastle Unites/UAF march recently humiliated the racists first mobilisation in Britain and they were massively outnumbered in Edinburgh. Following the thousands that came out for the stand up to racism and fascism demonstration in London, we must reject their hateful division. UAF calls on all anti fascists to demonstrate.

There are 100s of 1000s of people out there who still think that they’re retiring at 60 (women) and 65 (men) as they were not notified of the changes in 1995, let alone the second rise, hitting the same women twice! It’s totally unfair and devastating to those affected. Please sign the petition.
