Is this the point where the arrests and the quick and heavy sentences start to have a deterrent affect? And the point where those demonstrating against the rioters regain control of the streets?

 

It’s not clear where any far-right protesters will actually be able to go at the Newcastle demonstration tonight.

 

Counter-demonstrators shouting “refugees welcome” and “Nazi scum off our streets” have taken over the pavement in front of the Beacon Centre, which was listed as a place where anti-immigration protesters and the far-right would gather tonight.

 

Numbers appear to be approaching up to a thousand people now. 

The local imam said they had been scared to come here after the violence this week, but they wanted to show the real side of Newcastle and were reassured by the presence of so many people. They chanted “Geordies united will never be defeated".

 

Tonight will be a test of whether those arrests, custodial sentences and the desire of others to come out and take a stand against the violence will have an impact on those who intended to riot.

Restored a bit of my faith in humanity this. Nice reminder that the facists are a vocal minority and most normal people don't hate people because of their religion or skin colour

I was prepared to go down and stand in their doorway as if the doorway was the small pass at Thermopylae and I was Leonidas and kick the fuck out of anyone trying to harm the young lasses in there but I'll not bother now. (Lucky escape for the slack jawed divvies if they even thought about it iyam). :thumbsup:

Last night demonstrated that people who share Farage’s views continue to be in the minority.  Farage should be imprisoned for his perpetual hate speech and social media needs to seriously reconsider its ability to foster and sustain bubbles of hatred. Elon Musk is, somewhat incredibly, a moronic billionaire who should reconsider his ketamine “therapy”.   

 

Migration is only going to continue as our attempts to mitigate climate change have been pathetic and inequality expands. The countries that can afford to adapt will look increasingly attractive to those that can’t. We need humane and realistic solutions to this. 

 

Anger in the UK should be directed toward those who have exploited, divided and lied to us for generations. Not people who are, mostly, just seeking a half-decent life.

Last few days all got a bit much for me.  Weds nights I usually ride with the lads, have a smash fest and then finish with a lemonade.  Last night I just cba and wanted to be on me todd.  Thankfully I live close to some great MTB trails and beautiful countryside.  So I went out for a solo smash on the MTB mixed with some sitting on a bench enjoying beautiful views down the Wharfe Valley.  I felt a lot better when I got home, I was only out for just over an hour.  I then saw these anti-fascist marches when I got home and felt even better.

 

About a 10 min MTB ride from me is where they film t'Emmerdale and when I cycled past last night they were filming.  I tried to see if t'old Betty was there for a quick snog but she wasn't, apparently t'Seth and t'Amos were too busy wiv er.

We could execute all the racists, make room for them? 
 

I’ll swing an axe ( it’s the most environmentally friendly way to dispatch).
