Merseyside Police is investigating after a sticker promoting far-right views was placed in Toxteth, an area widely recognised as historically Liverpool's most culturally and ethnically diverse neighbourhood.
The sticker, which promotes the 'Remigration Now' campaign and pressure group, was seen stuck to a street sign in Berkley Street in Toxteth this week. It states: "Remigration Now. It's not personal, it's necessary. Every. Single. One."
What is Remigration?
Remigration is a far-right political concept and activist demand that calls for the mass deportation or forced repatriation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, including those who hold legal British status or citizenship.
The Remigration Now activist organisation was founded in 2025 by far-right, anti-immigrant activist Steve Laws, who has been a member of various far-right groups.
Police response and investigation
When the ECHO visited Berkley Street on Wednesday this week, the Remigration Now sticker had been scratched off. Police are still investigating where it came from and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
Liverpool Neighbourhood Inspector Laura Chandler said: "We have been made aware of a far-right sticker being seen in the Toxteth area, and we are making enquiries to establish who placed them there, and whether there are any others in the area or elsewhere.
"We know that such abhorrent views do not reflect those of the vast majority of people who live and work in the local and wider communities and we will ensure that any reports are investigated thoroughly, and such stickers removed, working alongside Liverpool City Council.
"There is no place in our society for hate crime so I would urge anyone in with information to contact our social media desk @MerPolCC, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 and we will take action."
