I could make a telegram group with 15000 members within the hour.
If the police have gone just off that then it's madness. You would have thought there would be some serious surveillance going on before what they have done today.

I reckon it was the far right trying to get the far left together to kick off with the police so they could both sides it.

Maybe I've watched too many films but if I was going to arrange something I'd tell everybody it was 8pm in a list of areas and then wait until 2am everybody has gone home and go to different places.
I'm currently sat at home doing fuck all so if anything happens at 2am it's not me.

Considering we have had days of bad riots it's hardly clearly a fake list. Don't you think it makes sense to be prepared for the worst after everything that's happened last few days?
Oh and hahahaha
I don't think there was any danger of it coming to cov,tbf with the history of it all,at least I hope so!
Wouldn't that mean that something has to be done about SM?

Looks like it’s a night for counter protesters. The real silent majority have found their voice.

Like I was saying earlier though. Whilst I don't doubt there has been racist behaviour at hotels and the mosque in Southport. How many mosques have been attacked?
Somebody clearly said to the Muslim community that the edl were coming. Surely that's not just from a list on telegram?
In reality, the vast majority of the riots has been little gimps as opposed to para military type groups. Of course there have been plenty of horrible, racist people but it will be interesting to see how many are charged with racial things as opposed to being scummy little cunts.
(Again, I'm not saying there's been no racism because there clearly has)

You? Cynical? Nah not having that.
My take is that there was nothing ‘planned’ and they were hoping to show that the good old ‘silent majority’ turned up in numbers at whichever was local. However, partly because of the arrests/sentences being announced, partly the very much publicised larger police presence, and partly because nothing happened yesterday (feel like there was a loss of momentum) there just wasn’t the numbers and interest.
The deployment of larger patrols tonight should be viewed essentially as an insurance policy and, whilst it might look a bit daft, it’s better to have them and not need them than not have them and need them.

Sky news saying "the number of far right protestors we have been told" haven't turned up.
How many were they expecting for riots? Be interesting to know what they "thought" was going to happen.
If they thought there was going to be tens of thousands across the country out for a riot, they would have seen chatter saying "abort, abort".

Yeah I don't quite understand what's wrong about a lot of people calling racists racist. Far better than just letting them get on with it, and far better than just kicking the shit out of them, however tempting that might be!

Sky are already pushing that.
You would think they would pipe the fuck down after their scare mongering all day.

Rumour and hearsay. I know a few guys from Alum Rock and genuinely I wouldn’t put it past any of them to get in their heads that the EDL were going to come and knock on their door. Starts with “could you imagine if…” and ends in “we’ve got the EDL round for dinner at 8pm”.
Similar situation at Euro 2016, as it goes. Obviously you had the mad Russians attacking people with all sorts in Marseille but then, when I was over there, every time someone blinked “shit, it’s the Russians”.

this is it really isn't as anything of a mass event
the football
the number of arrests
the length of the sentences
the pissing rain in a number of places
that'll stop anything really
