Joint statement on the rise of fascist violence in Leeds and the UK from the three Uni of Leeds campus trade unions (that's UCU, Unison and Unite).

We unequivocally condemn the #Islamophobia, #racism, and anti-immigrant bigotry, and we unreservedly condemn those who fund and fan those flames.

We call on our employer to increase support for staff, students, and our community.

These riots are caused by fascist cunts that don’t think there’s enough racism.
