Communist Party of Britain condemns racist attacks

It was stated that, "These attacks on black families and migrant communities are pogroms. They are a direct and deliberate echo of the sectarian pogroms seen in the 1960s and 70s. The far right is using this violence to divide working-class communities. They are supported by billionaire-owned social media platforms that spread disinformation to protect the interests of the ruling class. We call on the labour and trade union movement to organise and stand in solidarity with those under attack. The real cause of the crisis in housing, healthcare, and jobs is the capitalist system, not our neighbours."

The statement emphasised the class character of the situation, linking the far right and fascist groups with billionaires and their efforts to distract and divide the working class and blame minorities for the problems created by the system itself. The statement ended with the slogan: " No to racist violence. Build working-class unity."
