Stand Against Antisemitism

In the recent controversies about how best to deal with covid, many opinions have emerged: mask or no mask? lockdown or no lockdown? Pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine?
‘The Light’ newspaper, distributed through the Stroud Info Hub, has set itself up as a champion of freedom, but in doing so, it has brought onto the agenda much more sinister ‘freedoms’ than the right to speak out about the vaccine.
In the November 2021 (issue 15) edition of ‘The Light’ they sought to defend the racism of Graham Hart. He was convicted in August 2021 of Inciting Racial Hatred for broadcasting foul antisemitism, including denying the Holocaust, saying that Jews should be ’wiped out’, making light of Auschwitz, and suggesting that the diary of Anne Frank was a fraud.
On 7th November 2020, Sandi Adams, a known antisemite and Holocaust denier, was invited by the Stroud organisers to address the ‘Freedom Rally’.

Those who wish to deny or downplay the Holocaust are justifying and defending Hitler’s genocide. The danger of fascism will always remain so long as there are those who are prepared to lie about the horror that took place.
‘The Light’ is doing just that in its newspaper and on Facebook. Whatever we think of how to best deal with covid, none of us should have anything to do with a paper that defends spreading racist hate, and we don’t want to see it on our streets.
