Is this a type of protest? Is this effective? “Refugees welcome” has been projected in giant letters across the iconic white cliffs of Dover, just before an alliance of racist far-right groups are due to hold anti-migration protests in the town of Dover. The projection was undertaken as a collaboration between campaign organisation Global Justice Now and guerrilla projectionists Feral X. Nick Dearden, the director of Global Justice Now said: “We should be welcoming refugees, especially given the UK has often played a very active role in generating the crises of war, poverty and inequality that are often forcing people to flee.  The UK is not ‘full’. Lebanon, a country half the size of Wales, has taken in one million Syrian refugees. It is perfectly possible for the UK to take far more migrants than we currently see.  The response of British and other European governments to the so-called ‘migrant crisis’ betrays all of the principles our societies are supposed to uphold. You cannot build a decent society of fear and hatred. Opening our borders is a step towards creating a more equal world.

These protesters are part of the Anti Fascist League. They often say they will use any means necessary to oppose Fascism. They often turn up to protests in black with masks. This is called the Black Bloc. It is a way to try and remain anonymous. Why do you think people want to hide their identity?

Their speeches make racist comments that people could find offensive.

Their speeches make racist comments that people could find offensive. Should these groups be allowed to hold their meetings in public?
