We will shortly be making a full statement of condemnation but the WRF want to re-assure the Russian population of the UK that we stand shoulder to shoulder with them in condemnation of the recent Henry Jackson Society stating the likely collusion of up to 50% of London’s Russian population.
To claim that 50% of a population is working in collusion with a foreign power is not only patently absurd but also highly insulting.
A wide range of individuals have contacted us to state their unease with this crude demonization – we will be writing in due course but will counter this narrative where we find it.
The demonization of everyday and hardworking Russians in the UK must stop – it would not be tolerated by any other minority group. Sadly in lieu of our politicians we will do what we can to raise this with those that can assist to counter this false narrative.
Whatever government to government issues exist is fine, we are concerned about the every day Russian community – our friends and supporters.
