Peter Haigh, chairman of Grimethorpe Colliery Band, who also appear at the Spa this summer, said he was concerned Benjamin’s appearance would attract fascists and members of the far right to the town.

‘Sargon’ spoke on the same platform as Tommy Robinson at the supposed ‘free speech’ rally in Whitehall called by Robinson on Sunday 6 May. He claims to be against extremism, but speeches at that rally demonised Islam while the audience shouted for Muslims to be expelled. It was a far-right event with a significant fascist element.
