If these people are seriously amongst the leaders of today’s ‘anti-racism’ movement, then that’s it - I’m out.

Rather than standing alongside Jewish brothers and sisters today’s self-proclaimed anti-racists have turned on an ethnic minority and accused them of making it all up.

Way back at the end of the 1970s, ‘anti-racism’ was the first ‘ism’ that got me vaguely interested in politics.

Barely out of primary school, the far-right National Front seemed to be growing ever stronger in north London.

A group of skinheads at school actually did their Doctor Martens boots up with red-laces – at the time a symbol of support for the NF, or the even more extreme British Movement.

To mark my opposition to the far-right I remember taking the tube to Finsbury Park one afternoon to purchase an Anti-Nazi League badge from BookMarx, the left-wing propaganda shop – heavily linked to the Socialist Workers Party, of course.
