It would be brilliant if @TheMorrisRing, @MorrisFed and @OpenMorris could put out some kind of simple joint statement denouncing racism and the far right in response to this attempt to use Morris Dancing as a vehicle for their white supremacist agenda.

Dear Morris Twitter ... please can we tell these racists (their stated goal is to preserve the "white race") to get off our land! There is no place in our long and proud traditions for this. We need another #FolkAgainstFascism. Be alert. patrioticalternative.org.uk/morris_dancing…

@squeezyjohn @TheMorrisRing @MorrisFed Statement issued today from all three organisations. @TheMorrisRing @MorrisFed and @OpenMorris

We want people from all races and backgrounds to share in this pride and not be made to feel unwelcome or uncomfortable by any element of a performance or the community.

Morris is a unique cultural tradition of which we should be rightly proud. However, we will never support a divisive narrative which seeks to put our tradition beyond certain groups.
English
The Joint Morris Organisations wholly condemns and disassociates themselves from the sentiments expressed in an article recently published on a nationalist website. We hope the entire morris community would join us in rejecting the divisive narrative put forward by this article.
