The visit of Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, leader of the fascist Brothers of Italy, to Britain was yet another sign of the governments willingness to associate with anyone who is prepared to echo their scapegoating of refugees.
Meloni is not an ‘ordinary’ politician, she stands in the tradition of Mussolini and the post war MSI. She has introduced a state of emergency to ‘deal’ with refugees, remove their rights without parliamentary scrutiny.
In Britain the Illegal Migration Bill and the Rwanda plan are systemic attempts to remove the rights of refugees and to create a toxic environment.
These policies have led to a growing number of mobilisations by racist & fascist groups.
Resolves to:
1. UCU condemns the visit of Meloni to Britain.
2.UCU agrees to campaign actively against the Illegal Migration Bill and the Rwanda Plan.
3. UCU agrees to support promote mobilisations against fascist groups such as Patriotic Alternative, Homeland and Britain First
