Do you think so? I think they’ve been quite severely embarrassed here. They gave it everything they’ve got, all out direct conflict with the authorities, who now have catalogued who they are, where they live, and how they get organized.

If they wanted to get the security services attention, they’ve succeeded in that, I’m not sure how much they’ll enjoy it however. I’m proud to be British tonight, and proud of my home town.
Yep. They bit off more than they can chew and decency prevailed.

The war will never be over, because having mad bastard DNA in the gene pool is useful (when mad bastards are needed), and having manipulative pervert DNA also seems to have some value to the herd. And they will manipulate and kick off again. But it is what it is (not a lot).

yep,

They know the mood, don’t be fooled into thinking large crowds turning out against them will make them reconsider their ideology, madness…

Their job is done now, they got the publicity, they got people talking about immigration, they got people questioning if the new labour PM was up to it, sadly they probably got more people join their cause or have empathy with it at least.

remember this is not unique to Britain, Ireland north or southern but the whole of Europe is gradually leaning further and further to the right, they will see themselves as on track.
Has anyone not been talking about immigration?

Brighton factually.....
Do you think so?
honestly yep.
I think they’ve been quite severely embarrassed here. They gave it everything they’ve got, all out direct conflict with the authorities.
it was opportunistic, straight after the knife attack in Southport.
this was not a well thought out coordinated thing even if the media suggest it was.
who now have catalogued who they are, where they live, and how they get organized.
The police know who the main players in the far right are, and how they operate, make no mistake about that.
They will have maybe seen some new faces on the streets, yeah.
If they wanted to get the security services attention, they’ve succeeded in that, I’m not sure how much they’ll enjoy it however.
Sadly a lot of them don’t care.
I’m proud to be British tonight, and proud of my home town.
We agree on something, Brighton, Bristol, Hastings, Walthamstow can all hold their heads high tonight.

You’re probably working too hard in the daytime?

LBC’s O’Brien, Fogarty and Feltz take almost wall to wall calls from non White British who get verbally abused and punched for being the wrong ethnicity. Have been for a number of years. Incredibly includes eg Filipina nurses. Asian shops ramsacked.

Numbers involved and their like minded mates … low millions?
tens of thousands.

In the middle of this drone footage you will see a group of policemen in hi vis. Inside them are a second line in hi vis. If you look carefully there's some people in the doorway. They are the far right protestors, the rest of the people you see are the antis.

Hmm.

Seeing that, I’m thinking in this case it was good for anti’s to show up.

Above all, that is quite amusing.

Hopefully the rest of the evening goes off peacefully.

For those that disagreed with counter protest - you've just witnessed history in action. Moseley was stopped pre-war at Cable Street and again in the 50s in Notting Hill, the NF by Rock Against Racism and the ANL, the BNP by the ANL and the actual EDL was stopped in Walthamstow a decade ago. You cannot stop fascism with police violence and politicians using racist language (even Labour tries), you protect our communities - White, Black, Asian, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Atheist, Refugees, Gays, Transgender, Immigrant, Trade Union etc by uniting and standing up to them. Tonight did more to stop this brutal assault on the most vulnerable than days of police swinging batons. I knew you wouldn't let me down before I returned from my holiday.

if the counter-protesters are the only people out there... are they the protesters?

seriously though, hopefully the very large crowds turning out will make Tommy's pals will realise they've misjudged the mood badly.
More importantly, why have you deigned to provide Stephen with a capital letter?

Wolsingham, County Durham
Durham Constabulary:

Following intelligence of planned disorder across the county this evening, dispersal orders were put in place for Durham City, Bishop Auckland and Crook, alongside a heightened police presence in all areas.
Officers have tonight issued dispersal notices to 17 people.
Police have received no reported incidents of disorder or criminal damage this evening.
The dispersal orders will remain in place until tomorrow.


Also a really good turnout in Newcastle - there is a protest planned there on Saturday, hopefully it will be cancelled.

BBC reporting that anti-protestors have taken Hastings & Southampton. It's like a landslide on election night.
The headline on the BBC feed is totally misleading, but the report is gold.

Davie, who let the Huw stuff happen on his watch, may want to have a word with his subbies.

I didn't agree with that earlier.

But I think I was wrong.

I agree largely but we have seen in other cities that counter protests have not gone so well.

But yes, fairs fair. The racists have had their pants pulled down in old Brighton Town tonight. Largely due to such a huge anti presence.

From the Guardian ;

“In Brighton, the few anti-immigration protesters gathered outside a law office were so outnumbered by counter-protesters that the police there surrounded the anti-immigration protesters for their protection. With the exception of a small scuffle that broke out earlier on Queens Road, the counter-protest had the atmosphere of a street carnival, with a samba band playing and people loudly singing”.

Lovely stuff 🤣

To add.. I was wrong about my anti - anti stance. Across the U.K. the anti protesters have seen the racists off and made them a laughing stock. And I will go as far as to say they have probably put an end to all this nonsense.

Well done Watford Zero and others.

Mea culpa.

Ok I admit it, I've been proven wrong in my thinking on this occassion. I was obviously too fixated on the potential for the rapid escalation of any violence rather than the deterrent and solidarity aspect. I guess I have been educated this evening. The pictures have indeed been very heartwarming after a horrendous week of feeling ashamed at how these thugs have behaved with the countries flag wrapped around their shoulders.
