Far-right response to Southport Outrage And Ongoing Violent Disorder

i didnt know those double glazed back doors can be kicked through so easily

I love that. Why the fuck wouldn't you just open the door rather than have it kicked in?

Yeah maybe they didn’t give her time. Not that I give fuck in her case.

It's never a good idea to have big windows in those doors, small ones at the top are the way to go.

Yeah, she came up on the thread, on the day of her arrest, but clip does show Northumbria police has a sense of humour, she's going to fucking hate that.

Ah I'd forgotten that she'd been mentioned here before. I'll blame it on my chemobrain bad memory.

Here's a good one. Pity it's not Leanne's face in it.

Yes, if this turns out to be a turning point, it will be entirely about the mass turn outs - about the relatively small numbers who went out and put themselves on the line over the last week and the massive numbers last night (and, I expect, at the weekend). There's no denying that the police have been in a direct battle with the fash, sustaining injuries, for sure. Equally, things could have got a lot uglier without them. But without the mass turnouts this would have carried on night after night with them getting bolder and bolder.. Plus it would have carried on with the fash claiming a victimhood, the 'voice of the people', two tier policing and the rest. With thousands out against them, all of that dribbles away.

I'm not as sanguine as the lesson they may draw is more mobilisations to split cop and anti-racist/anti-fascist numbers. People in eg Walthamstow and finchley can turn out to counter anticipated incursions but are unlikely to then travel to where one occurs. If I was a fascist I'd be looking to rebuild with mobilisations in more sympathetic places like bermondsey, welling or Dartford before attempting something on a similar scale again. Whereas for lw orgs large numbers of arrests and jailings would lead to organisations being tied up with prisoner support, I don't think the right will react the same way.

 

[Cid]

it is a far right hashtag i think (along with the other two)

I mean it may be, but it's also the enough is enough campaign.

 

[stoatie]

some fucking genius analyses from sky here:



Did you maybe consider trying actually searching #enoughisenough you absolute fucking plums?

Couple of hundred fascists trying to fend off an angry mob of antifascists with likes.

Interested to see what Starmer says today.

The police and Sadiq Khan have both praised the peaceful anti-racist response, not just the policing. I wonder if he'll do the same.

Pretty much splitting the difference, I suspect a big turnout at the weekend will create a context for things and certainly stop their momentum. But as you say, they know there are places where they can have success/are less likely to encounter opposition. The fash in Blackpool last night looked to be largely unopposed just as they may well have been last week if Rebellion hadn't been in town. I remember going there nearly 10 years ago to oppose March for England and it was pretty much out of towners doing the opposing.

Suppose we'll have to see where this goes next. The Fash themselves almost certainly don't know given that the Southport murders gave them an unexpected opportunity which they were just getting used to when the centre left got numbers out last night. For the weekend, massive turnouts in the cities will be great though, in some ways, I'd rather see smaller local anti-fash efforts and the chance of building something sustainable. Because the fash aint going away.

Loving these photos from Brighton, the first from the BBC site, with the aerial view of the crowd and police cordon.




Now, let's have a peak behind that police cordon, thanks to The Argus site...




Poor little bunnies, they were there for hours.

For a bit of background that's Leanne Hodgson who runs a removal company called Leanne's Removals here in Sunderland. She's a bit of a "character" who has been in bother before. She's now in custody awaiting her sentence for what she did on Friday during the riot.

Sunderland rioters plead guilty to violent disorder charges

Hearings for those suspected of rioting are being heard in courts around north-east England.

Is being a bit of a 'character' shorthand for being a virulent anti muslim activist who was involved with the far right 'Women Against Rape' group in Sunderland? A group set up to 'support ' women that only focussed on alleged Muslim rapists. A group that invited Katy Hopkins, Tommy Robinson, the DFLA and whose local leader, Billy Charlton (jailed for racial hatred and still in jail for sharing indecent images) said "These people turn up and are raping our children and we need to hold somebody responsible for it … get them off our kids, get them off our streets, get them off our island.”.

Made sure to hide behind the police instead of hurling rocks at them. Not so big when they are few.

I'd imagine that some South coasters will be able to identify the 5 without masks?

Probably, but they can hardly be arrested for standing around, whilst getting pelted with eggs and flour.

What's identifying them got to do with them getting arrested?

Not quite the battering they expected

 

[DaveCinzano]

Though I guess they wanted to have their cake and eat it

Not quite the battering they expected deserved

Do not. Even. Start it.

Thanks to bris for this amusing clip, from Northumbria police.

He reminds me of this one, too

Stop stirring.

In the end they were whisked away in a police van

Yeah, c'mon, don't milk it.

There's a man who has never heard of people being nicked to prevent a breach of the peace

They've had their chips / got a chip on their shoulder etc. Standing about like fish out of water. They should know their plaice.
