Before you were moaning the police did nothing. It seems they’ve stopped anything happening and you’re still not happy. Still time to torch a jam sandwich if you’re really mad I guess.

I was moaning they weren't around when somebody was getting stamped on.

Surely something had to have been actually happening for them to stop it?

Haven't got any Jam 😔

Its now changed from "planned far right protests at 8pm" to "counter protests all over the country" to "anti racism protests" with pro immigration lawyers.

Was it just the 4 of them? Did they attack the immigration centre or something?

Looks like they misjudged the support !

This is needed though. The large majority of this country was disgusted with the riots, looting, threatening behaviour etc, even if many have their own concerns about immigration numbers. As long as nobody was hurt hopefully the message has been delivered

Feel like it's all calming down a bit though which is a good thing , maybe I'm missing something

Yeah it's been Very strange all day.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a pro immigration protest plan but somebody read the title wrong 🤣

Back after a long time away lol. Deleted twitter but used this thread to keep tabs on trouble in cov which luckily there wasn't.

As others have said hope over worst of it now and I'm very happy police taking telegram hate communities seriously. Rather they turn up and everything ok than only responding once damage done

Anyone finding it hilarious deep down wanted the far right to get a W

The balance brigade to demand answers to why the police weren't whacking those counter protestors over the head with batons in 5,4,3...
because they aren't actually attacking the police is the answer but they wouldn't accept that

There's loads going round now about shit kicking off in Sheffield. I'm not going to post it because I don't think it's true.

I agree, they deserve it, but let's not act as if a group outnumbering another by 100/1 are hero's. It's easy to act hard when you have the numbers behind you. Look at this forum...

For me, if those thousands of anti-racist people shout & chant all they want, let everyone know that they won’t tolerate racism, and at the same time avoid smashing anything up & attacking anyone, then I think that’s great.

it seems to be a massive humiliation for the racists/ far right/ whatever you want to call them tonight.

Live from north London.

It looks as if some people are going home and they are commenting on it.

Why are the police following a group from an anti racist protest in formation? Do they think there's people trying to cause trouble?

So you're accusing me of being racist?

I'd think very carefully about your response if I was you

looks like its fake / old but its impossible to tell with social media now, have to wait for a reliable news source to confirm. check the time on the clock and a mate in Sheffield insists there aren't roadworks currently happening where there are roadworks in the video.

what's interesting is that there is a suggestion, someone better at these things than me would need to investigate further, that the initial video was seeded with posts on multiple prominent accounts at exactly the same time. no idea if this stuff ever really gets looked into after the time has passed.

I've just seen a video of the exact same street being empty. Great example of fake news. Which one to believe? 🤷

This is where the media can stop things, they could cut to Sheffield and say "fuck all going on".

Birmingham is full on "from the river to the sea".

Might be being cynical but maybe it was never about a far right protest there.

I'm saying you find it funny that far right got one over the police.

What you gonna do get overson onto me?


Did I say the far right you little prick?

I said it's funny that the police intelligence service, which is meant to be one of the best in the world, and national media have gone batshit over a clearly wind up 'list' of 100 places where there would be riots

And I don't need Overson mate il slap you myself
