After Danny Tommo’s far right thugs attempted to confront refugees entering Britain in Portsmouth, the far right is threatening the mobilise again.

*FASCISTS AND RACISTS NOT WELCOME IN PORTSMOUTH*
Counter-demonstration called by Stand Up To Racism Portsmouth

📅 *Saturday 12th September*
⏰ *Assemble 12.00 midday*
👉🏽 *All Saints Car Park, Church Street, PO1 4BT*

The far right, racist and fascist 'Portsmouth Patriots' have invited far right from across the South Coast to bring their racist conspiracy theories and intimidation to our community.

The far right are meeting outside All Saints Church at 12.30pm. We cannot allow them to march through our city unopposed.

Please join us to build a mass counter-protest to show that racism and fascism are not welcome in Portsmouth.

Bring your friends and family, flags, banners, signs, musical instruments, and anything else to help us make a noise and show that Portsmouth is anti-fascist.

We'll have stewards to help keep people safe, but please be aware of your safety when joining and leaving the demo. Travel with others if possible, avoid having any visible badges or banners, and if you see any far right on your way to our demo please try to avoid engaging with them.

Hate is not welcome here.
Stand Up To Racism ✊🏿✊🏽✊

Regretfully due to some unforeseen circumstances we've had to cancel having our first AGM next week.

We still plan to have the meeting at a later date and we stay committed to building a strong anti racist group on the island.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience.

On 2nd August, Far right groups from Portsmouth plan to hold a protest in Gosport. While they claim this will be a "peaceful protest," previous events have involved hate speech against minority groups, targeted harassment, and violent rhetoric which included several arrests afterwards. These group do not represent our community, and their presence threatens the safety and well-being of local residents.
We are a network of Gosport residents dedicated to keeping our town safe, inclusive, and welcoming for everyone—regardless of race, religion, culture, or gender. We reject the hatred, division, and intimidation tactics used by extreme groups.
Please join us on 2nd August to stand together in unity against hate and show that everyone is welcome in Gosport. Protecting our neighbours from bigotry and discrimination isn't a political issue; it's a community responsibility. We need your help—join us!"

Unity in the Community - Refugee Celebration March
July 2026 marks 75 years since the United Nations Refugee Convention was signed in 1951, defining what it means to be a refugee and how countries like the UK should offer sanctuary to those fleeing fear, conflict or persecution.

However Southampton has been a city that offers sanctuary for hundreds of years, a port city that has welcomed people here be that temporarily or permanently when they have needed a safe place to go. From the Huguenots to the Basque children to those in Southampton today from places such as Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Ukraine, we have a proud tradition of welcome in this city.

Join us on Sunday 12th July to celebrate the courage and resilience of refugees in Southampton, past, present and as we look to the future.

We will meet next to the fountain outside Southampton Central Library (Commercial Road) at 12pm for some short speeches, before setting off at 12:30pm to walk through the town and culminating in Mayflower Park. We would welcome people to bring banners or placards to demonstrate that refugees are welcome and musical items. This march is a celebration!

We recognise that over the last twelve months, those seeking sanctuary in Southampton have been subject to hate and protest but we are coming together to say that Refugees are Welcome here, that Southampton is a City of Sanctuary and that we are proud to be a city that has always welcomed those in need.

We look forward to seeing you on 12th July.

Stand Up To Racism Isle of Wight condemns the recent far-right demonstrations on the island exploiting the death of Henry Nowak to push a harmful political narrative.

The police should absolutely be held accountable for their mistreatment of Henry Nowak in his final moments and the negligence which likely contributed to his death.

Police misconduct is a major systemic issue that can affect anyone, but disproportionately affects ethnic minorities.

The narrative that Henry Nowak was a victim of 'anti-white racism' and 'two tier policing' is blatant misinformation being pushed for a racist agenda.

It is deeply disgusting and disrespectful how this young man's tragic death is being weaponised for this far right political agenda, against the wishes of his grieving family, distracting from the real issues of police misconduct, along with fueling hate and division.

Henry Nowak and his family deserve better.
