Statement on fascist demonstration :

1920s Belfast Pogrom

Later today Belfast city centre will see a convergence of racist far right thugs gather to call for the removal of anyone, in their words, “not white or christian” from their communities.

This rally, like the one last Saturday, is being organised by loyalist paramilitaries trying to flex their muscles and push a racist, far-right, fascist ideology on the residents of this city.

After the widespread violence last week we expect there to be the same or worse this week after calls from organisers to have a massive presence this week.

2024 Belfast Pogrom

We do know for a fact that alot of businesses will be closing their doors early in for fear of more attacks coming and in areas such as the shankill vital facilities like health clinics will cancel appointments and finish early to allow staff time to get home in anticipation of roads being blocked.

We would appeal to everyone to reject this mob and their fascist ideology. We would also appeal to the youth of the city to be careful about being drawn into conflict with either this crowd or the British crown forces who will seek every opportunity to draw a reaction.

Belfast Cumann Address Racist Rally

Statement from Belfast WolfeTone/McCracken cumann on the far right rally through Belfast city centre at the weekend.

Last Saturday Belfast saw a rally of racist thugs marauding around the city with the intention of trying to intimidate anyone in their view “not white or christian” and was planned to coincide with other similar displays being carried out in England by far-right english fascists. It has become apparent in the past few days that this was organised by loyalist paramilitaries with connections to Tommy Robinson.

In an effort to try justify their hate march a handful of idiots from the Dublin Coolock Says No campaign attended to give the impression that there was some sort of cross community element to the proceedings and a 50 year barrier had been crossed, let us be clear the only thing cross community about it was the Coolock crowd sharing bags of coke with the UDA in a pub.

What this mob carried out was in essence a pogrom against migrants and locals not of the desired colour, kids were sent out in Sandy Row to set fire to places of work and anywhere housing migrants, in conjunction with those marauding gangs in England doing the same.

We have no doubt that something of this magnitude would not have been able to get off the ground without outside help and it’s our belief british intelligence had a hand to play.

We would urge anyone thinking of joining these race rallies to think twice, it’s got nothing to do with uniting against “foreign invaders”, a Christian way of life or saving children from being raped and murdered. The only danger to our communities is coming from the British establishment that are preying on the fears and anger of the working class who have been suppressed and exploited for years, not only here in the occupied north, but throughout the western world by these people using foreign nationals as the scapegoats.

Time to start punching up at the source of our opposition and not down at those most affected by the western foreign policies that create refugees and migrants in the first place.
