These far right riots taking place across the UK have reminded me of the way that democracy deceives us. It makes us think 51% = 100%.
Just because a slim majority of us voted for the left doesn't mean that this country isn't still an extraordinarily dangerous place for Muslims, Jews, Black and brown people.
Britain can only "defeat fascism" at the ballot box if you're white. But if you've still got angry, neo-nazi sons & nephews the rest of us aren't safe.
