Mr. Justin McCamphill:

From a trade union perspective, we can continue to be a voice against racism. Most trade unions are involved in educating their own members at different levels around how to tackle the far right and how ordinary workers can call out those behaviours. Unfortunately, what we saw outside on the street yesterday is only the tip of the iceberg of what is really going on on social media and the type of things being spread on it. We have to explain to our members that when they pick on transgender people, for example, they do not stop there, they have wider aims and objectives and they are going after gay people and black people. We must say that we have to have a united voice together, this is unacceptable and these people do not represent ordinary workers. The trade union movement represents ordinary workers and, in fact, they are not standing up against the elite. They probably want to put an old elite back in place.
