Billy Bragg Leads Anti-Hate Rally

0:00On March 29, Billy Bragg took the stage at a big anti-hate rally in Trafalgar Square, joining performers like Self-Asteem, Hot Ship, Jesse Ware, and KDB to counter far-right vibes led by Tommy Robinson. He reflected on the event, calling it a throwback to the rock against racism days of the late 1970s, with the specials Jerry Damors, right there too, linking it to that anti-fascist legacy. What stood out was the crowd full of young folks, Bragg said, hoping it'd spark a new wave of activists stretching back to the Battle of Cable Street. In 1936, Green Party leaders Zach Polanski fired up the audience, urging them to organize in communities ahead of local elections, and send a clear message, against hate from figures like Robinson and Nigel Farage. This rally pushes back against massive far-right gatherings, like the September 2025 Unite the Kingdom, March that drew up to 150,000, keeping the fight alive for unity.
