Dear John, like you I am sickened by the scenes unfolding across
England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
It is now clear that too little has been done, and for too long, to
stem support for far-right groups and far-right views. We're not
afraid to call it far-right - because it is.
And there are politicians who must take the blame for stoking these
tensions for their own political gain.
Best for Britain refuses to separate the influence of decades-long
rhetoric of people like Nigel Farage and slogans like "Stop The
Boats", from the chants of rioters on our streets. And certain
sections of the media cannot absolve themselves of blame either.
Those who seek to exploit a moment of fragility when a tragedy like
the one in Southport occurs are not bringing anything to the table
other than hatred and division - and history has shown us time and
time again that anger has never solved a problem that anger
created.
We know many of you will want to send a message to those in your
communities who are feeling vulnerable right now.
That is why we have produced a new artwork for you to proudly
display in your window.
Tell everyone that you stand with them, and that hate has
no home here.
