Pics/video: thousands in Liverpool, Brighton, Birmingham and more see off the fascists

Grassroots groups and left activists deter far-right thugs

Left-wingers and communities have turned out in force across the country tonight – and appear to have largely succeeded in shutting down or seeing off fascist thugs. Keir Starmer and his Home Secretary Yvette Cooper ordered Labour MPs tostay away.

In Liverpool, a large crowd of well-wishers appeared outside Merseyside Asylum link to counter a planned far-right riot – and appear to have deterred any who might have been thinking of causing trouble:

In Brighton, the few ‘fash’ who turned up soon slunk away faced with a huge show of unity:

Fascists vs anti-racists…

And large crowds in Birmingham, Finchley and other London boroughs and across the north-east turned up to resist the hate mobs, to similar effect. Pro-Israel Red Tories, rather than thank those who turned out for deterring neo-nazis, chose to attack the counter-protesters as ‘antisemitic’, presumably because of their support for Palestinian human rights against Israeli genocide – and were quickly called out for their nonsense:

Whether the fascist mobs will try again remains to be seen, but communities are showing they will not be terrorised by hate and thuggery.

  1. To think that sackman is the solicitor general, and as such, advises the government (i.e. keef, aka the legal genius) on legal matters.

    Appointed by keef, sackman is on record as saying it’s ok for keef to be at home with his family on a Friday night because his wife’s jewish. (I’m Brian and so’s my wife!)

    Let’s hope nowt serious ever happens at that time of the week, eh?

    Let us hope the fascists decide to accommodate jews by never turning up in finchley (and ONLY finchley – perhaps golders green, too) ESPECIALLY on a Friday night, for ‘genuine’ fear it attracts antisemitic, antifascist counter-protestors and the ‘existential threat’ THEY evidently pose

    Because not only will keef be otherwise engaged (having been given the night off by sackman) it WON’T be the fascists who will be the problem.

    And I’m quite sure tommy robinson and his gang of heroes mean well….for now.

    … There was poor me, honestly believing that braverman’s complete fucking idiocy would be extremely hard-pressed to be surpassed. Well it seems keef has hit the motherlode on his very first attempt. Whether by sheer luck or design, I couldn’t state with any certainty, but I’m inclined to opt for the latter. After all, who wouldn’t want a long(er) weekend, hmm?

  2. Jews don’t commit Genocide
    Jews don’t support Fascists
    Report Sackman to the Fuhrer, she needs promoted to the Front Bench

  3. More or less IS front bench, Dougal. Gets a cabinet position salary. Not bad going for someone who was only elected last month.

    The arslikhan is strong in this one.
