The march coincides with a Tommy Robinson-backed ‘Unite the Kingdom’ protest, which the Prime Minister said is “designed to confront and intimidate this diversity and this diverse country”.

The group is also planning a protest against Oxford Union’s decision to invite far-right activist Tommy Robinson to ‘debate’ on whether the West is right to be suspicious of Islam.

Speaking on their Facebook page, the group said: “By inviting Robinson the Oxford Union is helping to boost and legitimise Robinson’s racism and fascism.

“This invitation can only give confidence to his supporters to be more active here.

“At a time of rising racist attacks and increased far right and fascist activity in the UK this invitation is dangerous, and negligent of the safety and peace of Oxford’s diverse community.”
