Racism and anti-fascism

January 18, 1pm Embankment tube London As the general election approaches the Tories are starting to play the racist card. A new offensive against 'illegal' immigrants is under way, and a new racist Asylum Bill is being pushed through.

Police and immigration officers are staging spectacular mass raids on workplaces to net low-paid black workers for deportation.

The Asylum Bill is aimed at the relatively small number of refugees who enter Britain each year, making it harder for them to come into the country, and easier to quickly deport them without right of legal appeal.

The aims of the Bill are racist through and through. It will add another weapon to the battery of immigration laws to keep black workers out and harass those who are here.

Racism and fascism are on the increase throughout Europe; but it is more than ever necessary to fight back against state racism. A first opportunity is to get a big turnout on the demonstration against the Bill on 18 January.
