About 4 of them showed up here against about 150 anti racism protestors. They keep getting no shows and it won't be long before they are only showing up in the biggest of cities.
Which should make policing it easier.

I had to leave my office in Bristol early as I right on the street of the planned “March” to “peacefully protest” at the immigration solicitor up the street. We had two people come to the office today (one of which was me). Many shops around the office closed early and boarded up. Back at the hotel, they advising everyone not to go out, so a lot of people on holiday or family trips are stuck here eating at the hotel.
Even if these cunts don’t turn up - it has had a huge impact. Brainless cunts.

Guessing a combination of mass arrests, speedy trials and communities calling them cunts is cutting through already

I never really post about politics here, but if I was in charge I would merrily deport all the far right fuckwits to a war zone, then give all their homes the to the asylum seekers who had to flee a war zone (or other awfulness). An impossibility but one can dream!

They are just cowards plain and simple. They thought they had the safety of anonymity and being too much for the authorities to deal with later being part of a big gathering and now they've realised it's being taken seriously and the video footage is enough to have doors kicked in they've shit themselves. These people are absolute fannies. They will now pivot hard into playing victim and crying "tWo TiEr PoLiCiNg" because they aren't simply allowed to openly display their hatred and thuggery scot free.

Seems the threat of actual consequence for your actions is all that was needed to reveal these knuckle dragging morons for what they are and how much their "cause" really means to them.
I only hope they haven't inflicted longer term damage to society as a whole with their utter stupidity.
Starmers appeared calm and measured so far, if this is a sign of the dust settling, I do hope we then see his more ruthless side dealing with those helping stoke this hate for their own gain.

Cor, good on the folks of my borough (Waltham Forest) going out en masse to Hoe Street to protest against the anti-fash. No sign of the cunts, just loads of good people having a peaceful protest against the cunts.

Yeah pics I've seen show a very large anti-fascist turn out but pretty much zero fash.
Whilst the turn out is a good show of solidarity I do wonder if the entire thing was either a purposeful fake out or a hoax. Fact is even without the fash turning up business have closed - literally boarded up their widows, and it's been hugely disruptive.
Equally if there are enough no shows... How many people will keep turning up to counter fash that don't show up, people would start to feel apathetic fairly quickly m
I've seen unsubstantiated claims that the entire leaked WhatsApp messages were a hoax by a teenager.
I'm sceptical about that as the police, despite what some claim, wouldn't put on extra measures without some reasonable reason to believe thatv the threat was real. But it will make the people doubt the veracity of future threats.

Not bothered if it's a hoax. It's got people engaged to counter protest cunts. And in far greater numbers than the cunts who originally started all this. Drawing negatives from this is strange outlook.

I wouldn't give them that much credit. They just really don't have the numbers they think they do.

Wow, the whiplash you must have from turning this into a negative must sting.

Good turnout in Finchley too from the photos I've seen, not heard about any actual bad 'uns though.

Drawing negatives from this is strange outlook. The tiny sliver of a “victory” to say ‘lol alll those libtards fell for it’ is hugely outbalanced by the ‘oh shit everyone hates us and we look like jokes and bottle jobs’ If it is a hoax. I suspect it wasn’t, I think they thought they had momentum on their side and have legitimately bottled it in the face of crashing hard into the law and communities standing up to them.

The immigration centres were a diversion. The fascists are hiding in oil drums, transported in smaller vehicles in search of a new settlement free from the tyranny of Lord Humungus (a title Sir Keir bestowed upon himself).

Personally I think they have remembered that football starts again this coming weekend and would rather not be banned from matches or end up in court. So back to fighting each other soon enough when one sides wins and the other doesn't.

I was very confused going to my local retail area at about 3pm this afternoon. Lots of police and people boarding up shop fronts. I figured it out after a few minutes but I couldn't understand why a few shops on the outskirts of Lincoln where on the list of targets. Turns out they were planning to attack an immigration lawyers office there.... Which doesn't exist!
Thick fucks.
Yes I know Lincolnshire is very pro Brexit and full of drooling morons but a coop, a McDonald's, and a Pound stretcher?

It has been refreshing from a gov standpoint that Starmer has come out and said fuck off, you're getting it if you act like a cunt, not really engaged with attention seeking dildos like Corbyn or Musk, not flip-flopped around several times a day, just got on with doing something. Nice to have a grown up in charge.

Yeah fair play to Starmer, we couldn’t have a better PM for this shitstorm, he’s done very well so far
Imagine if Boris Johnson was still in charge? Does not bear thinking about

Agree with that. Must be fucking infuriating having someone like Musk spouting absolute bollocks about a country he has fuck all to do with, but Starmer has just got on with it. Already Southport cunts handed sentences. Good riddance.

Delighted to hear that there has been a distinctly anti-fash flavour to today's protests (actual protests, too - not riots masquerading as such).

Really heartening to see all this. Am watching on Sky News and there is a commentator who keeps banging on about the balance of the polis gently encouraging people to move or forcing with dispersal orders etc and it’s like he’s desparate. The fuckers are just stood around having a chinwag and not breaking anything. Maybe the police even like the message this sends out. I certainly do.

It is rather heartening to see various governments/elections finally trying to steer humanity's collective ship away from the swamp of extremists and cunts hellbent on wrecking everything as long as they get theirs... Long may it continue!

Good to see it all has stayed calm. Although, one place that the Guardian's blog has picked out for having had a bit of a spat is not too far away from me in Aldershot (sounds very minor, fortunately).
I've no doubt that the right wing press are combing through the events of tonight to find where some anti-racists have had a fight and they can plaster tomorrow's papers with it, but sounds like they will struggle to find much.
