The far right travel all over the country to bully and harass people. It’s essential that as well as mobilising in our local areas, we too build the culture of travelling to support each others’ callouts to maximise numbers. Sometimes you even get a win!

Patriots of Horley intended to harass asylum seekers outside the Home Office reporting centre. In response, about 150 antifascists assembled to stop them, including locals and comrades from London Community Defence. The message is clear: Croydon’s diverse community will take no shit from racists.

Antifascists from Brighton travelled to Croydon yesterday to support Croydon Community Action against a planned demonstration by Horley Patriots. The Horley racists, who have mobilised large numbers locally to intimidate migrants housed in local hotels, on this occasion failed to show up at all!

Across the country and the world, far-right, racist and fascist forces are on the rise. Standing up to them in your local area can be very hard if you feel isolated. Nothing is more important than actions like this that give people confidence and show that the majority is anti-racist.

It was great to see so many people from all different backgrounds turn out to join the march. This is especially important because Newhaven, Seaford and Peacehaven have been hit hard with far-right flag activity over the last few months, including violent attacks on people who have removed flags.

A gang of us travelled from Brighton yesterday to support the anti-racist demo in Newhaven. About 300 people joined the ‘Everybody’s Haven’ march which wound around the town centre before finishing with a rally and music at the bandstand on Denton Island.

A terrible day for our local racists. Seems all their flags have gone missing, along with their Facebook page...

Respectfully, this kind of behaviour seems to be exactly the logical progression of "patriotism". Patriotism isn't a neutral value to be reclaimed or defended: devotion to the myth of the "country" is the thin end of the wedge leading to nationalism, xenophobia and racism.

This is tomorrow. With the increase in racist violence we've seen in the city and in Sussex more broadly, it's as important as ever to show that Brighton & Hove is anti-racist, and anti-fascist!

An under-discussed objective of the flag-shaggers recent activities is to create a justification for the violence they are desperate to mete out - as anybody who opposes them becomes a legitimate target, in their eyes. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2554636...

Ask MB Roofing why they are doing this, tell them what you think of them, and let their customers know the type of people they are dealing with. www.google.com/search?q=mb+...

For people of colour, these flags evoke the dark days of the National Front. We’ve seen this before: racist abuse, street violence, fear. We refuse to go back. Brighton is not having it, this ends now.

People who have taken down flags put up by MB Roofing have been followed, threatened, attacked. Council workers have been abused. They are sponsors of Brighton and Hove Albion @officialbha.bsky.social . So far, they’ve faced no consequences.

MB Roofing have been putting up union jack flags all over Brighton, tearing down flags saying 'everyone welcome' and intimidating people who object. All while wearing their work uniforms and driving around in their branded vans.

Violent racists have been emboldened by the media and government of this country. Last night was arson, but it could easily have been murder. Now is the time to come together as a community, protect each other, and reject the lies and violence of the far right.

Racists attempted to burn down a mosque and community centre in Peacehaven last night. Incredibly fortunate that no-one was hurt. Solidarity with the muslim community of Peacehaven. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Apologies! Social media is not very conducive to this type of organising, particularly on sites that require verified ID for DMs. Best way to get involved is to come along to an event / mobilisation. Solidarity.

This must not be mistaken for an "innocent" or naive act of patriotism: this campaign is being coordinated by known fascists. They are attempting to create an environment of fear for migrants and refugees. They will fail. More info on "operation raise the flag": hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/22/o...

On Thursday evening under cover of night, racists snuck into our city to litter our streets with British and English flags: a pathetic effort to stoke fear and intimidate our community. By this afternoon dozens of Brightonians had worked together to take them all down. Brighton is antifascist.

The transphobe Posey Parker and "Let Women Speak" are coming to Worthing on Saturday to preach their hate. Last time they were chased out of Brighton in disgrace - let's do the same again in Worthing tomorrow. 12pm meetup, or travel with some of us from Brighton Station at 11am. Bring your friends ✊
