More protests this weekend

[Username6543]

According to Hope not Hate, there are a load more protest planned this weekend https://hopenothate.org.uk/2024/08/02/a-weekend-of-unrest-dozens-of-protests-planned-in-the-wake-of-southport/

I'm really worried as my town is listed. I've tried to Google to see where the protest is planned so I can avoid that particular area but cannot find anything, what ar we meant to do?! Is this website even accurate, anyone know?

Why are you spreading news of this? How did you even chance on it ?

Fingers crossed for rain

Because it’s all over the papers. Who do you think you are saying how people should feel?

I also checked the list, my city isn’t listed. I completely understand why you are worried. Someone said on another thread that people like that give up pretty quickly. Hopefully they do.

It was on the front page of the Guardian and was the lead item on Sky News. I assume it has been reported in and on other mainstream outlets, too.

Bit of a cunt much?

Very much feels like the media are looking forward to protests/riots.

Well the government hasn't had a scandal, unlike their predecessors regular ones, to fill the column inches.
August is always a quiet time for newspapers, so you may be onto something.

No different to the Mod v rocker battles in the 60s.

Sounds scary. Bunch of thugs who just want a fight.

It's LITERALLY all over the news! On many websites and news channels. You don't even have to bloody search...just open up a news app! 🤦‍♀️🙄

First one I opened...and there are dozens more if you'd like me to link them for you? HTH 🙄

Protests my arse. Just a bunch of thugs out for a jolly. Don't dignify them by calling them protests.

Hate not Hope never cared about racist symbols and rioting at other marches. Myself, I hate racism on all sides.

Everyone has the right to protest whether or not you agree with their views but like everyone else I don't want to see these thugs rampaging through the streets. I really think there should be designated zones for protests to take place with a Speaker's Corner sort of vibe, they can be booked or people can just turn up but they must not take their protest out of that area.

Have t opened an app.. haven't looked at the news today BUT KNOW this is about the fucking Nazi EDL.. don't give them oxygen...
