Counter-protests swamp the far right around the UK

[Emrys]

In every town and city where "protests" by the usual suspects were publicized to happen, counter-protesters have turned out in their masses - in many instances outnumbering them more than 100 to 1.

Musk's own platform is spreading this news (and being used to give him regular dog's abuse):

Let’s see how long this lasts on this shit hole of a site

Here are reported counter-protest gatherings in places like Brighton, Walthamstow (in London), Liverpool and Bristol:

Meanwhile, the first accused have been sentenced to jail terms, many more have been remanded for sentencing or trial in a higher court, and police inquiries to identify other rioters continue.



Some more from Twitter (all videos, but I'll post the text if anyone asks):

It should be noted that it's the university vacation, so these demonstrations are not being propped up by students.

7. It's a huge relief...

to know that the anti-racists outnumber the racists after all.

But scary to know that the likes of Farage, Tice, Oakeshott, Laurence Fox, Musk I fear, and on a less superficially respectable level, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson, are so keen to justify and in many cases instigate violence.

The thugs on the ground will be punished.

The instigators will likely get away with it.

8. Nigel 'no mates' Farage finally loses the Brexiteers amid riots

Leave voters now join the ranks of most Britons in taking a dim view of the Brexit firebrand, with his net favourability rating dropping from 7% to minus 4%.

He is also reviled by 2024 Tory voters who gave him a minus 27% favourability rating – down a whopping 17 points in the space of a week, according to pollsters YouGov.

I doubt he'll get arrested, but at least the public recognises him for the racist toerag that he is. His overall net favourability is minus 42 percent.
