This one's a picture from the Brighton protest. Similar thing across the whole country. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/riots-uk-today-london-birmingham-protest-immigration-centre-b2592456.html - 'UK riots live: Up to 25,000 counter-protesters march in clear message to far-right after 100 rallies planned - Around 100 far-right rallies failed to materialise as thousands of counter-protesters took to the streets of the UK'
I went to a different one. 2 skinheads skulked around the outside but did nothing, then got bag searched by the police and told to go home. The whole counter protest turned into a celebration, with people marching the streets with slogans, music, singing, dancing, drinking, and so on and on. Just a big left-ish street party of all ages and races.
It was actually very heartwarming. I overheard a lot of great things. In particular, especially from older immigrant men, who expressed grateful surprise at the numbers and mixed demographic of the anti fascists. Many said they felt loved by the city. A very merry time.
The correct question is "why did you say racist twice?".
We need to be better and faster at doing this in the future. It took us too long.
EDIT: Another angle
Show
The media love a riot, and while it is not insignificant for those concern, the numbers are very low
Similar over here, although the numbers on the anti-fash side were much smaller and the number of fash a little bigger. Nothing but a bit of shouting, one aging gammon in a
flag failing to start a fight, and a bunch of us enjoying telling them to fuck off until the cops bundled them off over a roundabout and they got bored and left.Lmao, they're just bumming around all sad and depressed. The guy on the far left looks like he's questioning his life choices.

70% had priors.
Not so much student of an ideology, as people who spend their spare time doing violence over something else.
