The planned far-right protest in Blackburn, backed by Tommy Robinson, has sparked widespread concerns about potential violence and disruption to the town center. The protest, dubbed “Save Our People”, is in response to the recent tragedy in Southport, where three young girls were killed in a knife attack. The event has been met with condemnation from local authorities and community leaders, who are urging people to stay away from the protest and warning of potential riots and violent clashes.
Blackburn MP Adnan Hussain has called on people to avoid the area, citing concerns about the potential for disorder and harm to innocent bystanders. “We must not allow the far-right to hijack this tragedy and use it to spread hate and division,” Hussain said. “I urge everyone to stay away from the protest and to instead come together in solidarity with the people of Southport and in support of the victims and their families.”
The protest is part of a larger wave of far-right demonstrations planned across the country in the coming days, with similar events already taking place in Southport, Hartlepool, London, and Greater Manchester. The protests have been met with widespread condemnation, with many accusing the far-right of using the tragedy to push their own extremist agenda.
“We will not be swayed by the far-right’s attempts to divide us and spread hate,” said Councillor Phil Riley, leader of Blackburn with Darwen Council. “We will continue to stand together as a community and to support the victims and their families. We will not let the far-right hijack this tragedy and use it to spread their hateful message.”
Lancashire Police has a command structure in place to deal with the protests, and has urged people to avoid the area and to report any incidents to the authorities immediately. The police have also warned that those who descend into criminality will feel the “full force of the law”.
The planned protests have sparked concerns about the potential for violence and disruption to the town center, with local businesses and residents urging people to stay away. The town’s mayor, Mohammed Ayub, has called on people to come together and to show solidarity with the people of Southport.
“We must stand together as a community and show that we will not be divided by the far-right’s hate and intolerance,” Ayub said. “We will not let them use this tragedy to spread their hateful message and to divide us. We will stand together and we will show that we will not be swayed by their extremist agenda.”
The protests have also sparked concerns about the potential for copycat attacks, with many warning that the far-right’s rhetoric and actions could inspire others to commit similar acts of violence. “We must be vigilant and we must take action to prevent these attacks from happening,” said Dr. Nazir Afzal, a leading expert on extremism. “We must not let the far-right’s hate and intolerance go unchecked. We must stand together and we must show that we will not be swayed by their extremist agenda.”
As the country prepares for the protests, many are calling for calm and for people to come together in solidarity with the people of Southport and in support of the victims and their families. The protests are a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and for action to prevent extremism and hate from taking hold in our communities.
