"When Mus unfurled the leaflet lying on her driveway, she was left shocked,
angry and upset. “White Britons are already a minority in London … it is clear
that if these trends continue white people will become a minority in Britain,”
it read.
The leaflet, written by a far-right group, was distributed along her street
three years ago in Moseley, a leafy suburb of Birmingham. It went on to blame
NHS waiting lists, a shortage of social housing and even traffic on “the rising
population”.
“There we go again, blaming us for everything and causing division,” she
thought at the time. But instead of ignoring it, her neighbours came together
to figure out a response. “That’s what gave me hope, that people stood together
and said ‘not in our names’.”
They decided to fight back with their own words by creating a poster with the
message: “Brummies united against racism and hate crime”. They were placed in
the windows of homes all along the street. “Not long after, a neighbouring
street said: ‘Oh, we had those leaflets. Can we have your posters?’” Mus said."
