ANTI-RACISM should make us feel confident, not uncomfortable.

Last month this question came up at the TUC’s racial justice and equality conference in London.

The stakes have never been higher. The far right have always gone on the offensive under Labour governments — we saw the rise of the National Front in the 1970s, the BNP in the early 2000s.
