More than 150 members of faith communities and organizations have issued a statement on 30 January condemning a planned march by the far-right UK Independence Party (UKIP) in Tower Hamlets. The march, set for 31 January, aimed to exploit Christian symbolism to sow division but was blocked by the Metropolitan Police to prevent potential disorder. The community, supported by various interfaith groups, continues to assert that Tower Hamlets is a place of unity against racism. The statement emphasizes UKIP’s disconnect from genuine Christian values and its divisive agenda targeting Muslims and migrants.
