Dear Colleagues,
On the 28th April Nigel Farage will be launching
the South East UKIP European Election Campaign at Portsmouth Guildhall at a
UKIP public meeting starting 7.30pm.
Stand up to UKIP are organising a protest outside the
Guildhall from 7pm- more details here https://www.facebook.com/events/238105376375668/
If UKIP are
allowed to gain a foothold we risk the destruction of everything we fight for
as trade unionists- employments rights, redundancy pay, maternity pay, job
security- not to mention their plans for wholesale NHS privatisation and the
reintroduction of elite schools for those who can pay. UKIP has already shifted
the debate to the right. Unless we can head them off at the Euro elections and
the General Election next year, their influence on mainstream politics will
only become more destructive.
If you are able, it would be great to see as many of you
there as possible with flags or branch banners- I also have some Hope not Hate
leaflets available if you’d like some.
Let’s show Nigel Farage and UKIP that we’re not fooled by
their scaremongering and we won’t let them divide our societies.
Thanks for your support
Jenny Mason
