tbf if all she did was knock a bin over i cant cheer the police collaring her at home

You will have to wait and find out what all the charges are before you cheer or not. . Bit like VAR for fash . She's a mate of Billy Charlton's btw

Why not? Better than nothing.

 

[stoatie]

I can't help but think that having a far-right protest in Blackpool on Rebellion weekend might not be the fash's smartest move ever...

 

[Rimbaud]

I doubt the people in Sunderland with brooms were big into placards, either - they were active very early in the morning.

They can't be left wing because they got out of bed early?

 

[emanymton]

Proof? How are buildings and cars getting burnt if they are challenged and corralled?
Have you ever been to one of these types of demo? or even seen one IRL?

I'm not on Silas's side here, but come on. Do you think the presence of a counter protest magically stops them smashing shit up in the area around them?

I mean it was probably their street.

What makes you think they are the same people? I’m sure there’s a crossover, but the clean ups seem very local and apolitical.

Cleaning up after the fash have fucked things up, taking action, intervening, IS political.

 

[lazythursday]

Lots of police and antifascists hanging around in Preston. No fascists, though apparently there were about a dozen sheepish ones earlier who sloped off. Bit of a tense atmosphere but nice to see plenty of people turned out to oppose the far right.

I think they would have been cleaning up if the damage had been done by anarchists or Venusians or Swifties, too.

 

[savoloysam]

I'm glad nothing of the sort is likely to kick off in Nottingham. I have never witnessed any racism while living here. The hills of Derbyshire however are very different but they are just small towns.

Swifties

Rampaging through the streets, fucking up bus stops, chanting “you’re not cat ladies any more!”, wondering if it’s over now.

 

[ska invita]

seemingly not even a pubs worth in Preston

If only we could believe you'd thought about this

Just got kicked off a tram coming into Blackpook as there's something going on outside the Metropole. Will update.

 

[Jeremiah18.17]

Report that a grand total of 3 fash turned up for their Doncaster protest, one from the South

See post #963. Nottingham is on the list

This is in the local paper here:

Punks block protesters in Blackpool​

Punks have blocked protesters chanting about Tommy Robinson and to “stop the boats” in Blackpool town centre.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the town hall to voice their dissent – but proceedings threatened to spill over into violence amid a counter-protest from revellers in the Lancashire seaside resort for the annual punk Rebellion weekend.
The protest was set for 3pm and, 90 minutes before, only a handful of people were gathered close to the war memorial and Metropole hotel on the Prom, which was chosen by the Government to house asylum seekers.
They were equalled in number by police officers, who were on horseback and positioned between the protesters and the hotel.
Five flags were being flown: a St George’s flag emblazoned with the words “Save our children”; the Israeli flag; Ukraine’s flag; a smaller Union flag; and a black and white flag with the words “Lest we forget”.
There was no sign of trouble at that point, with just seven men gathered, but there were signs of police preparation, with an increased presence along the seafront and four riot vans parked in Market Street, around the corner from the planned protest spot – outside the town hall in Talbot Square.

That's an awful lot of people wanking on about cable st and itching for a ruck there.

Yes sometimes if enough numbers

 

[The39thStep]

Little bit of light relief

 

[ddraig]

Cardiff outside Senedd
You can see 10 maybe 15 people, some with "save our kids" T shirts over by the police
Police put a section 35 dispersal order and heard one arrest from counter demo

so thats another 7 to add to the running total

 

[Dandred]

Not sure why, but my Youtube feed is full of live feeds, never seen them before and they are all of these EDL/marches.

I usually only watch documentaries and news stuff, but these far right feeds seems to be all over now, someone is paying for these to be spread about.

 

[xenon]

Apparently there's an Enough is Enough demo and anti fash counter demo taking place in Bristol around Castle Park tonight.

I seem to be getting a lot of Scandinavian indie-folk stuff. Maybe their money ran out..
