Protestors are set to rally as the UKIP leader brings his tour to Southampton.

Nick Tenconi is bringing his ‘pub tour’ to The View Bar tonight, and he is set to discuss ‘detentions, deportations, immigration, and how we are going to save Britain.’

The interim leader describes himself as a "defender of Christianity and conservative values".

His imminent arrival in the city has sparked outrage among anti-racism campaigners.

Group leaders at Southampton Stand Up To Racism have called for a counter mobilisation outside the bar at the sports centre on Thornhill Road at 6pm tonight.

Posting on Facebook, the group said: “UKIP leader and anti-Muslim, anti-migrant bigot Nick Tenconi will be speaking at The View Bar Southampton this Tuesday.

“Put pressure on The View Bar Southampton to cancel the booking by leaving a message on their page and by calling/emailing them.

“Copy your emails to Active Nation enquiries@activenation.org.uk who manage the Sports Centre as well as your local city councillor and/or Southampton City Council which owns the Sports Centre.

“Join the counter mobilisation on Tuesday.

“Assemble at 6pm at Dunkirk car park, SO16 6LW. We need numbers to show that Tenconi and UKIP racism is not welcome in Southampton.”
