“We haven’t seen this kind of racism on our streets ever – where people don’t feel safe going to work, children don’t feel safe going to school.”

That was how Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) organiser Sam introduced a rally in Windrush square yesterday (10 August) one of several organised as part of a national day of protest against recent far right attacks on refugees and asylum seekers.

Speakers included Bell Ribeiro-Addy, MP for Clapham and Brixton Hill, who said people like her, who are Black, from Asian communities, from migrant communities, “know that racism exists in this country”.
