or out the Wetherspoons ? 

Bit stereotypey, but yeah if you like.

So far just feels like a big con. They've given up. Starmer has won.

[Justiceforcedave]

Rioters in Brighton are currently VERY outnumbered which is nice.

[steviewevie]

London with all its foreign woke graduates very much against fascism.

[steviewevie]

Maybe that was it for the revolution. In the end it was just a bunch of right wing yobs looking for a fight.

(or maybe they're waiting for the weekend).

[Justiceforcedave]

This is the counter-protest in Brighton.

Blimey.

Like I have said all along counter protests work.

I mean...are there any actual far right people at any of these places?

[steviewevie]

Ah, there's some in Aldershot. That's a relief.

It will not be televised, but there will be plenty of clips on twitter.

A friend is there on the counter protest. They say more anti-fascists there than the Far Right, who are getting bored very quickly.

 

As for the weekend, the football season starting and 30+ degrees - could that be a recipe for a disaster?

In the end they haven't got the numbers, it really is a minority, and with the prison sentences being dished out along with the backlash getting louder I wouldn't be surprised if it just dies out and we go back to being a harmonious multi racial multi cultural multi faith keir starmer utopia and we can go back to discussing the autumn budget.

Where’s Ozanne when we need him? His dream is coming true!

Or Cheadle apparently.

The Cheadle one was in a business park, always seemed unlikely.

They've re-routed the buses in Rotherham and roads are closed. As far as I could see it was dead.

 

Is this 100 far-right protests the press is running with based on one anonymous telegram post? Must of cost a fortune to police.

They moved to outside the Rushmoor Council Office here. Looked like bored people with vague, misinformed placards and Keir Starmer masks standing on the edge of the road.

 

Then they headed to Farnborough Tech, where they’ve been outnumbered by the counter protest.

Ozanne got a lot of sh*t on here but he basically called everything right.

[steviewevie]

Of course Blackpool...

Someone has helpfully outlined the exact divide between the racists and the counter-protesters.


Also.... here's a close-up of the doughnuts who turned up. I guess they didn't get the memo?
