(Teesside Gazette) Anti-fascists are gearing up to counter-protest against a march in Stockton.
The counter-protest comes after campaigners, Gays Against Sharia UK, announced they are holding a joint rally with Standing For Britain and will be marching through the town centre this Saturday.
The group states on Facebook that the march will be protesting “against Muslim grooming gangs operating in Stockton.”
There is also a planned speech from Anne Marie Waters, the leader of the For Britain party and former UKIP member.
In response to the march, Teesside People’s Assembly have now organised a counter protest which they have called “No Place for Hate.”
