This great piece from We Are Plan C is kicking around Bristol. Give it a read, talk to your friends, family and coworkers and pass it on.
Antifascism needs all of us. We need people on the streets, we need people doing education, we need people doing care and support, we need people having difficult conversations.
There is something that we can all be doing, no matter who you are.

On Saturday 7th March, Bristol Patriots attempted to lead an Islamophobic hate march in the city, and antifascists turned out en masse to stop them. Now, after associating with out-and-out Nazis, the group seem to have fractured.
This brilliant investigative piece in the Bristol Cable exposes who Bristol Patriots are, what they do, and who they are really willing to work with.
Read the full article online, and remember to keep turning out to oppose fascism in Bristol.
The rise and fall of Bristol Patriots – 13th March, 2026 – by Adam Quarshie, Sean Morrison, and Priyanka Raval.
“For almost a year, Bristol Patriots have led a campaign of harassment and intimidation in our city. But after last week’s hate-filled demo exposed their true colours, with out-and-out Nazis, a child sex offender and bank robber in their ranks – is this finally the end for them?”
The events of Saturday speak for themselves.
Bristol Patriots are N@zis.
They invited N@zis, they talked with N@zis, they shook hands with N@zis.
They are N@zis.
The police protected them, the whole way. The police protected N@zis. Remember that.
The ‘patriots’ would have been f*cked without them.
Having mobilised numerous times before, people showed up in large numbers again ready to oppose the fascists. Organised groups autonomously prepared and planned how to disrupt and block their racist march.
Bristol has done this before, we know how to do it and we’ll do it again.
The people of Bristol stood strong in the face of horse charges, police batons, pepper spray, dogs and more.
Banners were used to stop horses, bins used to block roads and police lines were continually broken.
Eventually the fascists and the police were stopped in their tracks and forced to turn around, tails between their legs.
They quietly shuffled back to the Cenotaph surrounded by police and facing a torrent of abuse from local Bristolians, making it known that they are not welcome here.
This response did not happen in isolation, it comes from militancy we’ve been building in Bristol over the last few years, the radical history of Bristol and the strong communities we have in this city.
Bristol Patriots are done.
Bristol is Antifascist.
We smashed it! Bristol is an antifascist city, and ‘Bristol Patriots’ are pathetic scum.
On Saturday 7th March, the people of Bristol stopped their embarrassing ‘anti-extremism march’ attended by Nazis, despite hundreds of police brought in from all over, plus horses and dogs.
They were hugely outnumbered, kettled by us three times, and had to turn around and walk quietly back surrounded by cops.
They will never be welcome in our city. We will run them off every time. 🏴🚩
As many of you may know, Aryan Front, a newly-formed neo-Nazi group, recently stated their intentions to march alongside Bristol Patriots at their demonstration on Saturday 7th March. In their video statement on X, the Aryan Front proclaimed that “Racial treason is the worst of all crimes! It’s time for Antifa to meet the hanging tree…” before four young men are depicted posing behind a banner and swastika flags and performing the Nazi salute. Aryan Front’s ideology is drawn from the Creativity Movement, a militant white supremacist cult established in the US in 1973, which regards Hitler as “the greatest leader the White Race has ever produced”.
Moments ago, Aryan Front announced that they wouldn’t attend after all, claiming to not want to march along side ‘Jewish figures’ ‘Iranians’ and ‘mud people’ – seemingly in reference to Bristol Patriots support of Israel and US-Israeli intervention in Iran.
It’s very likely that Aryan Front have some unspoken qualms about marching in Bristol this weekend – namely that the antifascist presence is going to be bigger and more militant than ever. Make no mistake: they are scared of us.
Despite this welcome development, we must stay on alert! In-fighting amongst the far-right doesn’t make Bristol Patriots any less dangerous and abhorrent to us. They were aware that neo-Nazis were joining their march and, they made no effort to discourage them. Further, we know at least two members of Aryan Front are based in the Bristol area, so they may still turn up without declaring themselves as members of the group. In addition to this, known neo-nazi football hooligan Ryan Ferguson has independently declared he is attending, along with Kai Cunningham of White Vanguard (the neo-Nazi group that Aryan Front split from).
Aryan Front have also stated that they ‘are not finished with Bristol’. Let’s send them a message on Saturday: Racists will never be welcome here.
Bristol Patriots have called a demo on March 7th, using ‘religious unity’ as a guise for Islamophobia.
This excellent column in the Bristol Cable discusses the true intent behind their march and the importance of genuine religious unity and solidarity.
Read the full column online, and turn out on March 7th to show Bristol Patriots that Islamophobia is not welcome in Bristol.
Bristol Patriots ‘unity March’ is a sham. We need to come out to oppose it. – 27th February, 2025 – by Nikesh Shukla.
“The far-right group’s latest demo claims to be about ‘religious unity’ but excludes Muslims. Bristol won’t fall for that.”
Turn out on March 7th. Bristol is antifascist.
Islamophobes out of Bristol!
Saturday 7th March – 10am at the Cenotaph 🏴🚩
The far-right protest group “Bristol Patriots” have announced an islamophobic march.
They are peddling racist tropes about Muslims and their beliefs.
We will stand together, as Muslim Bristolians and non-Muslims alike.
We will keep their hatred off our streets.
We call on everyone to block their march.
Many small groups acting autonomously can do this better than one single crowd.
Come with friends, wear a mask and don’t talk to cops.
Get organised. Get creative. Get in their way.
