England has been gripped by major anti-immigration riots (and counter-riots) since three little girls were murdered in Southport. In France, the media have tended to adopt the official narrative of the British government, stressing the responsibility of the ‘far right’ for the unrest. French far-left MP Raphaël Arnault, who made headlines by getting himself elected despite being classified by the government as a dangerous individual due to his Antifa activities in France, travelled to London to support his local Antifa comrades.
Raphaël Arnault filmed his London trip on X. He is the co-founder of the Jeune garde antifasciste (young anti-fascist guard), a movement that uses violence against its political enemies, the so-called ‘extreme’ right. Arnault explained that he wanted to “support local comrades in the face of riots and targeted racist attacks.” The young activist, dressed in an army-green jacket and obviously looking for a fight, was full of outrageous phrases designed to give him moral legitimacy: “Young Guard mode activated. Nazis off our streets.”
The French MP did not hesitate to dramatise the demonstrations as “attacks” by “fascist militias.” He explained that the mobilisation of “young people” had prevented an attack on an immigration office, concluding: “Anti-fascism works. When we don’t look down, when we mobilise, it works.”
Paris councillor Aurélien Véron condemned Arnault’s trip, saying: “A French MP known for his love of violence comes to the UK in paramilitary garb to beat the s*** out of British citizens. What kind of diplomacy is that? Interference and shame.”
