It is deeply ironic that their chants and placards about Starmer are there to trigger us as if he was not closer to their demands... Their belief in being rebels rather than useful idiots is truly outstanding...

Thanks, will do!

I don't think we were ignoring them, quite the contrary in fact. The reason we chanted it was to counter their claim that they are an alternative to Starmer (I happened to be next to the person who first started the chant yesterday precisely for this reason).

By the way, is it ok for me to use the picture if I credit you?

It truly is. Also fascinating seeing them pretend they are rebels speaking truth to power while Starmer and co have similar politics and the police was their to protect them. Very anti-establishment clearly...

Fascists feeling fully emboldened

Kids at the windows were being abused by them and would have been absolutely terrified if it weren't for counter protestors

Indeed

And even that which isn't doesn't seem to think there is any urgency in countering the trend (bar a few independent outlets)

Absolutely vile

It's not surprising they would act this way obviously as racism was always the crux of their politics. What angers me is how their bullshit about violence against women and girls and other left behind myths were platformed and lapped up by the media, politicians and some academics

Just one example of that abuse. The girl he was aiming at was probably ten or eleven.

And yes, fascists in our streets terrifying already traumatised children is a direct consequence of this mainstreaming and those staying silent about it because that's sensible politics

Tommy Robinson is claiming credit for the language/policy being used by the Labour government (about deporting people found to be refugees once their home country is deemed safe)
