Evening my loves. Back from Bristol (Aladdin was fantastic!) Felt sad though as I kept getting distracted, hoping that the mostly Asian cast weren’t scared about going home from the theatre, tonight.

Got home to see that 100s of the not thugs are peacefully swarming Bristol with love. Repeated all over. The video of a handful of thugs hiding behind the police, in Brighton, with 1500 anti thugs shouting at them gave me a sigh of relief that’s been missing for a week.

She said she heard the initial rumour from “someone in Southport”. To which the only answer should have been “It’s an appalling tragedy, but let’s not jump to any conclusions”. I assume she has a level of education and intelligence to do that, being a successful business owner.

Ha! That bloody lion was everywhere a few days back.

I hope somewhere behind the scenes, someone is looking at the people orchestrating this. Someone is providing targets, dates and times.for these facist yobs. They need to throw the book at them

I spoke to soon in my previous post, some kids on bikes in a nearby town have attacked a woman on her own, assaulting her and telling her to go home.

Fuckheads.

Those are the kind of people that the Director of the CPS means when he says they are investigating potential terrorism offences.

Peaked on Twitter. Full of videos of anti-fascists.

I haven't checked but I'm sure Musk will have retweeted a few of those videos 😉

BIossomtoes · 07/08/2024 21:46

Such good news. It’s restored my faith in my fellow humans.

CassieMaddox · 07/08/2024 21:47

I'm back because I'm thoroughly cheered up. I should have learnt by now that MN is not reflective of RL when it comes to politics.

Lion is flipping hilarious 😂

British people are great.

Apolloneuro · 07/08/2024 21:49

I’m finding the Fartage situation interesting (sorry if it’s already been discussed. I tried to have a read through).

Katie Hopkins has criticised him, as has Laurence Fox et al. Mmm what’s going to happen to him? I doubt he has many allies in Westminster and now he’s fallen out with his nasty pals.

He’s obviously tried to distance himself from the trouble, but is he on his own little toxic island?

Wouldn’t it be funny if they all fall out and throw each other under the bus!

PandoraSox · 07/08/2024 21:53

Fox is backpeddling so hard his ankles are going to snap off.

Jason118 · 07/08/2024 21:56

Reference my post earlier - 800+ people turn out in solidarity against the fascist threat. So proud of my little Midlands market town, suddenly I'm tearful.

Farage might also be concerned that his hero Putin had his country invaded yesterday. In fact might cause all sorts of disquiet in right wing circles.

PandoraSox · 07/08/2024 22:04

Just saw Birmingham. Everyone's gone home now after a peaceful demo. Just brilliant.

I am just considering whether your emoji is appropriate or not...

Oh shush (see now I want go do a laughing face and I can't)
Honestly I use emojis without even noticing. I'm going to really struggle to be sure if I'm definitely being funny. Need confused fact emoji

Katie Hopkins appears to be on something. Who on earth is paying her.

CassieMaddox · 07/08/2024 22:13

Anyway. Twitter is also jolly good fun. Wonder what Starmer is going to say tomorrow or if he'll just politely ignore it to let the rioters save face.

PandoraSox · 07/08/2024 22:25

Yaxley-Lennon seems to be having a coke fuelled breakdown, desperately trying to twist the narrative.

newnamethanks · 07/08/2024 22:35

That's a Bit More Like It, people, proud of you all and our long anti-fascist heritage. As for Farage, Fox, Hopkins, Yaxley and Co, they're rats in a sack. I hope they enjoy each others company.

I’ll be massively disappointed in him if he does.

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.

Yes. It's lifted my mood no end. I'm still apprehensive for the weekend when booze culture emboldens the scrotes more but everything feels so much less hopeless.

What twats. On a roundabout. The footage is hilarious!

Cheers in Blackpool as two men raise British and English flags on a roundabout shouting “England til I die” and “Take the island back”. Things here remain peaceful but tense

That's not a roundabout, it's a traffic island and it's all theirs Grin

Robert Jenrick. What an utter tosser. Haven't got the energy to describe him further. Horrible, horrible person trying to outdo Cruella for sheer nastiness. Repellent and ignorant with it.
