A TINY posse of far-right extremists was outnumbered and heavily protected by police when they staged a march in Newcastle on Saturday.
The event was billed as a “White Man March” and groups taking part included the National Front and the British Movement — the openly nazi group founded and run by the late Colin Jordan.
Marchers carried union flags and banners featuring far-right symbols such as the sun wheel, or Black Sun, symbol, also used by Ukraine’s fascist Azov Battalion.
Anti-fascists estimated that about 85 people took part, far fewer than those who gathered to oppose them.
It is believed that nine of the right-wing extremists were arrested.
“The master race has never been very bright or attractive, so before the march even started two senior figures in the National Front were arrested,” said a spokesman for anti-racism group Hope Not Hate.
- Just four people turned out to a demo in Edinburgh by Germany-based right-wing outfit Pegida on Saturday.
