Firebrand calling for a class war

-

AMONG the most menacing demands are made by the group Movement For Justice By Any Means Necessary.

Far-left firebrand Antonia Bright is a leading force behind those spearheadi­ng the Day of Rage to ‘shut down London’ and ‘bring down the government’.

A key member of the group, she advocates class war to fight Brexit and immigratio­n policies – but has unashamedl­y switched focus to the Grenfell tragedy to boost the profile of today’s march. The group demands: ‘Bring your rage, bring your boldness, we will win JUSTICE!

‘Let’s make 21st June, the day of the Queen’s speech A DAY OF RAGE, a day we shut down London, a declaratio­n that there will be no peace until this government is brought down.’

Echoing Jeremy Corbyn, it calls for Grenfell Tower survivors to take over unoccupied houses in Kensington and Chelsea.

In one online profile, Miss Bright says she is responsibl­e for supporting student reps at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London. Asked about the march, she said: ‘You have to ask what does it take to make this Government stand up and listen? This is about justice for everyone and I would expect people from all strands to be there.’

Miss Bright is close friends with 7 -year-old Trotskyist Tony Gard, who has previously been at the centre of violent protests.
