The fascist party UKIP are coming to Newcastle as part of their country wide "mass deportations tour", stirring up racism against refugees. The vile Nick Tenconi and his friend, Tommy Robinson are bringing racist thugs to our city on 27th September. Robinson (aka Steven Yaxley Lennon) supports the new far-right party 'Advance UK' who are holding their conference in Newcastle on the same day.
SUTR brought out thousands of anti-racists onto the streets of Newcastle last summer in response to racist riots. We humiliated the far right and we can do it again. But we need you to show up and bring your friends, colleagues and neighbours.
The far right are spreading racist lies, falsely blaming refugees and migrants for violence against women and girls. This toxic racist atmosphere does not help victims and survivors of sexual violence. Refugees are not “unvetted criminals”. They are ordinary people fleeing war, persecution, torture, and terror. Many have faced violence themselves. They deserve safety and support—not suspicion and hate. Refugees are not “living in luxury” or getting special treatment. They are forced to live in overcrowded and often unsafe accommodation.
The Casey Report published in June 2025 shows that white people are more likely to commit child sexual abuse and exploitation than Asian people. It used statistics from the Complex and Organised Child Abuse Dataset — the most comprehensive database for England and Wales. Another report, from the Home Office in 2020, found that “group-based child sexual exploitation offenders are most commonly white”. Sexual violence is not caused by race or nationality.

Women and children are let down every day by the police and authorities. Standing with victims and survivors means demanding justice from those truly accountable. But when the far right blame only a tiny section of society, it means the vast majority of abusers escape suspicion.
The far right claim they care about women but their actions prove otherwise. Their real goal is to spread racist division, not to stop violence. Police data showed that two in five of the 899 people arrested after participating in last summer’s riots had previously been reported to the police for domestic abuse. These are the same forces that claim to be ‘protecting’ women today. The far right has never been serious about protecting women. It fuels hate, stokes racism, and encourages violent attacks on refugees, migrants and Muslims.
Across the country, people are standing up to the far right. Join us on the 27th September at Grey's Monument, Newcastle at 12 noon.
