Maybe the prison sentences and the talk of terrorism charges have put a lid on the riots.

Yeah seeing your apparently hard mates crying because they've realised they will be held accountable is probably enough to put most of these cowardly thugs back in their boxes to cry alone.

I think 2011 was a bit like this. It all just suddenly stopped?

God, the Starmer haters will be sick if this is the end of it.

Southampton and Cheadle too

Three lonely edl supporters in a sea of anti- racists. Bristol apparently. Oops, Brighton!

Oh my......my DDs offices closed today because of warned civil unrest and unbelievable and so wonderful to see 1,500 anti racism people gathered... all very peaceful. Lots of placards including 'Grannies against Facism' , and 'Our City of Sanctuary' and many more.

I think the blubbing rioters didn't dare show their faces.

PandoraSox · 07/08/2024 20:31

It is amazing. This is what the UK is about.

TattiePants · 07/08/2024 20:38

It's brilliant to see the huge number of counter-protests tonight. So far it seems quiet in my area plus there's rain forecast tomorrow so fingers crossed things quieten down.

Blackpool is edgy, big and growing police presence

The businesswoman with the very nice house who believes in conspiracy theories is called Bonnie, and is apparently mortified at being the UK source of the lie that started the Southport riots.

Mortified that she is being named and shamed

It looks like she made it up. If so, she is in serious shit.

PandoraSox · 07/08/2024 20:50

Her post was deleted an hour after it appeared but by then the false information was widely repeated by far-right social media activists such as Tommy Robinson and Andrew Tate.

It is also believed to have been used as a source for an article published by the Russian-linked Channel 3 Now website which was extensively retweeted.

That is the website loads of Mumsnetters linked to.

Sunset, folks. Hope peace continues to reign.

Stupid fucking woman.

I'm glad she's been named and shamed.

Now she needs to go around the country to all these communities who have had building burned down and apologise to those communities.

Notonthestairs · 07/08/2024 20:53

Oh I don't think she was stupid at all.
I think she knew exactly what she was doing.

bombastix · 07/08/2024 20:55

You know what. I bet the authorities are going through her internet usage with a very fine comb. I doubt she is what she seems, nor her blithe “mortified” defence

Counter demonstrators outside an immigration advice service on Church St. in Preston. Some businesses in that immediate area have closed early.
Not my photo, taken from a local news site.

Nothing much is happening here, shops are shut and there's a large police presence but nothing is actually happening. Let's hope it stays that way.

She absolutely knew what she was doing.

Fantastic work anti fascist demonstrators. I've just turned on the news, with trepidation. What a heartwarming sight. Well done my English sisters and brothers. Let's hope this is the end of the wave of racist riots.

She apparently said a lot about covid conspiracies and is very anti climate change as well.

She's isn't a person who accidentally absent minded my shared a tweet for the first time by accident and it happened to be this one.

But she's fucking stupid - because she thought she wouldn't get caught.

itsgettingweird · 07/08/2024 21:18

Do you know what is best about the pictures on the anti facist protesters?

They are from all walks of life including white British.

A real image of what people in Britain want one the whole and accept.

And the horrid truth is if they had all been ethnic minority and/or black that would have caused issue and comment.

But the white British thugs have white British decent people saying "we don't stand with you"

It's the most good I've felt in days.
