Unite Against Fascism (UAF) is a national campaign with the aim of alerting British society to the rising threat of the extreme right, in particular the British National Party (BNP), gaining an electoral foothold in this country.
We aim to unite the broadest possible spectrum of society to counter this threat.
Until recently this country has not seen the kind of rise of the extreme right that has blighted many countries elsewhere in Europe. However recently we have seen the election of the BNP to the London Assembly and European parliament. Currently this fascist party has over 50 councillors across the country.
On 6 May 2010 there will be local and general elections in Britain. On its current levels of support there is a real danger that the BNP could consolidate its presence on local councils or even win its first Westminster seat.
The BNP can be defeated. The majority of people in this country abhor the BNP. If everyone votes we can stop the BNP. Our campaign will alert people to that fascist threat and urge people to use their vote to stop the BNP.
