DIANE ABBOTT joined campaigners and community representatives today in expressing concerns about the safety of black and minority ethnic communities in London.

The warning came ahead of tomorrow’s planned far-right march organised by supporters of fascist leader Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

Mr Robinson is currently in isolation in prison, serving an 18-month sentence after admitting to contempt of court.  

He admitted to 10 breaches of a High Court injunction, which barred him from repeating libellous allegations against a Syrian refugee.

His supporters are gathering under the banners: “Stop the isolation,” “Free Tommy” and “Unite the Kingdom.”

Anti-racist activists will gather in the capital tomorrow in a counter-protest organised by campaign group Stand up to Racism and point to the power of mobilising against racists and fascists as illustrated during last summer’s riots.

Thousands of people rioted across the country over the summer following the spreading of racist misinformation around the murder of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport.

But many more gathered to quell their voices with counter-protests.

Ms Abbott, the first female black MP in Britain, said that all those who “value freedom and human rights should be concerned” about the demonstration by Mr Robinson’s supporters.

“Racist attacks increase when the far-right are active and marching on the streets,” she said.

“This is particularly worrying following recent attacks on mosques in London.”

Anti-Muslim graffiti was found on seven London buildings this month, including mosques, Islamic community centres and a primary school in what the Met Police called “shocking” hate crimes.

The incidents were reported to have been fuelled by a Telegram hate group, offering £100 to people who took such actions.

Finsbury Park mosque chairman Mohammed Kozbar said that many Muslim communities were “deeply concerned about potential attacks on mosques” during the far-right mobilisation tomorrow.

“The far right are trying to spread fear, division and Islamophobia,” he said.

“We urge the police to protect mosques, especially in light of the recent anti-Muslim graffiti attacks.”

Iris Yau, of the Society for Anglo-Chinese Understanding, said the march coincides with the weekend that Chinese, East and South-east Asian communities will be celebrating the Lunar New Year in Chinatown.

She said that this is “deeply worrying,” adding: “It’s vital that all good people unite and mobilise against the scourge of racism.”

Stand Up to Racism (SUTR) co-convener Sabby Dhalu said that the far-right demonstration “is an attack on our multicultural and diverse society.”

She said: “This march coincides with Chinese New Year, the last march coincided with Diwali celebrations and the previous march was on the same day as Trans Pride.

“The racist and bigoted agenda from Tommy Robinson supporters is clear.”

SUTR co-convener Weyman Bennett added: “We saw the power of mobilising against the far right in response to last summer’s racist riots.

“We must bring that anti-racist spirit onto the streets of London and reject the politics of hate.”

Stop the Far Right protesters will assemble at St James’s Street at 11.30 am tomorrow before marching to Whitehall at 12.45pm.

Speeches will be heard before and after the march from trade union leaders, including Fire Brigades Union’s Steve Wright, TSSA’s Maryam Eslamdoust and PCS’s Martin Cavanagh.

Other speakers include Green Party deputy leader Zack Polanski, Jewish Socialists’ Group’s David Rosenberg and women and LGBT rights group representatives.
