Well, well, well....
The Daily Mail's front page tomorrow is quite something.
Some of us who've been involved in supporting/building today's antiracism demos have been in this paper a few times (to say the least).
Never quite expected this though!
Savour it!

@D_Raval Thank you for this series of posts. Excellent to see!

Massive response across the country to counter the hate "protests". The real Britain reasserting itself against the tiny minority trying to terrorise us. Highlights on this thread.

Hundreds out in the west end of #Newcastle. Amazing show of support from the local community protecting refugee support services. No sign of the far right here! #Riots #Solidarity #NoPasaran #RefugeesWelcomeHere

@DavidCloke @Samfr That’s exactly the type of rational debate that hopefully this shambles will lead to

@niruratnam @Samfr But also the whole immigration debate is a false narrative. The legitimate questions are: will we have enough immigrants to staff our public services, our life sciences and other key sectors and ensure we have the economic growth we need to pay all of our pensions in the future!

Now that anti-far right protests vastly outnumber the thugs we'll presumably see loads of pieces about how this proves the British people support immigration.
Or maybe now they'll be a sudden realisation that protests/riots don't prove anything about majority opinion...

@Samfr I think we agree (apologies if 1st post garbled); numbers of racist/fascists low, a few thousand as you say, but amplified in early reporting as a nationwide rampage
English
@niruratnam Was it though? How many were involved - a few thousand nationally at most?

10,000 now at anti fascist rally in Walthamstow, East London.

Worth spreading these videos as much as possible, the more humiliating the better. Part of the task of the next few days is messaging: you'll be arrested, you'll go to prison, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

English entitlement really sucks. Sometimes someone is a bit better. It's hard to win these things

Decent from England but Spain a noticeably better team. The right winners. Spain/Catalonia has been football's tactical model for 20 years. So, like, it's come home

@Sathnam Oh I don’t know, it’s quite funny watching her trying to struggle with this
