The UK's first 'White Lives Matter' march has been planned in Margate by a Kent far right group.

The extremist East Kent English Patriots - whose members were also involved in the Dover protests - are advertising the march on their Facebook page.

A tagline on the poster reads "Most whites are brainwashed and believe its [sic] wrong to love and support their our [sic] race. Its [sic] not."

Thanet Stand Up to Racism has branded White Lives Matter a racist organisation and plans to oppose the march on October 22.

And the Kent Anti-racism Network has called on its members to "come together and stand to ensure this hateful march does not pass."

Thanet Says No To Racism said the White Lives Matter march will stir up racial tension in Margate.

The group said in a statement: "The group behind this march are the Neo Nazi South East Alliance who consistently post White Power articles and images and from time to time feature posts in favour of Adolf Hitler."

Anti-racist groups sugggest the planned march is an attempt to piggyback on the White Lives Matter movement set up in the US, which has been branded a hate group.

The US movement was set up to oppose Black Lives Matter, an organisation protesting police brutality against black people.

In a statement Thanet Says No To Racism said: "The South East Alliance is small, splintered or in jail.

"They are trying to piggyback on the White Lives Matter group in the US - a white supremacist organisation - to rebuild their organisation.

"As far as we're aware, this is the first White Lives Matter march in the UK, so it's important that we ensure it's an abject failure for them as it discourages others to emulate them and stops them recruiting.

"But critically, we have to send a clear message that we will not stand idly by whilst racists and fascists are in our town attacking people of colour.

"In the aftermath of Brexit, racial tensions have become inflamed. People from Eastern Europe and people of colour have borne the brunt of xenophobia and racism. We have to come together, across the community, to oppose racist marches in our town."

Police have been contacted for comment.
