That sounds amazing!

The pictures from Brighton were very amusing. The police had to help the far right from being in the crowd. I do not think these far right people understand how the country really is.

But let’s not get too smug. I do not think this is the end

'The price of freedom is eternal vigilance', agreed bombastix, they're just having a rest. Although a line of riot police in full drag would possibly be enough to see them off for good. Oh, the trauma.

it was a jazz band apparently! haha

I agree. There are certainly still reports of far right groups regrouping online.

And there are still quite a few on MN that are happy to outline excuses for recent violence.

This is it. You can see this on Mumsnet now.

Far right violence has got be managed even though they are a minority.

Their ideal is clashing between Muslim groups and their “warriors”. That is actually what they want, and after they “win” probably compulsory repatriation of anyone not white. Obviously that is very extreme. But the point is that they want to set the rules and aren’t bothered by a majority who prefer democracy.

Agreed.

Though i am certainly feeling very happy about how beautifully our anti-racist protests showed the best of our population standing for what they believe in without violence. But there will still be the racists who stupidly think they can get away with their behaviour. They don't care that the vast majority don't agree with their racism, they take it that we're all brain washed so basically don't care.

Morning folks. Do any teachers have knowledge about how far teachers are allowed to promote political views? Just came across this guy. He’s an assistant head teacher. He’s obviously an ahole, but skating on thin ice? Want to know whether there’s any point in tracking down his school and complaining.

I think it is the comment re Marxist Socialism which would bother me most. Isn’t the idea that the left are uniquely violent a conspiracy theory?

Honestly he sounds unhinged for that reason. Who want him to teach your children?

No, he shouldn't be doing that. Is this Twitter? Is he posting specifically as a teacher from his account??

I worked in Early Years and I believe that post would have been in breach of the Social Media Policy at any settings I worked in. I would probably report it to the school @Apolloneuro

Just looked him up and see he is an active Tory and a politics teacher. Hmm. Wonder how he teaches that!

I think, given his political affiliations are transparent, you'd probably get nowhere but if his school is identifiable, then you still could.

Thought I recognised the name . He was the Tory candidate in my constituency.

Well he sounds lovely. Just the kind of person - someone who's bought the whole bucket of right wing scare stories, swallowed it all, and stupid enough to be proud of it - to be teaching our children. Bring on the Tommy videos, we can show them in break time.

I agree that the ‘Marxist violence’ and ‘two tier policing’ are incredibly unwise at this moment.

It is his public Twitter account and I’m not sure such political propaganda (of any flavour) is appropriate.

This is the school. I have emailed the Chair of Governors. https://www.newsteadwood.co.uk/

Was a Councillor in mine a few years back too!

Quite a few teachers are political on Twitter. I always have an issue with Mark Lehain but he toned it down after not becoming an MP.

Speaking of Yaxley-Lennon, he is continuing to have a breakdown on Twitter. I feel sorry for his children and hope they have someone stable and sane to look out for them.

I see the far right narrative is that the planned riots were a hoax and everyone fell for it.

You'd think little Owen Jones would be happy. Nope. He's trying to criticise Labour for advising MPs not to go to.the demos. Is he dumb?

Coke paranoia.

It’s a fine line isn’t it. I don’t teach in schools anymore and had a Vote Labour board in my front garden. Not sure if I would have done if I was still employed in a school and definitely wouldn’t if I lived near the school.

I do know that if I was a Muslim parent at that school, I’d be very angry right now. The Chair of Governors is a Ms Khalid.

Owen Jones dumb? You have to ask?

I believe he believes he's on the run.

It would be amusing if in a bid to outrun the extradition that is headed his way, he tried claiming asylum somewhere, and had all his social media and money removed.

The reality is he is suck a thick shit it simply isn't worth sending anyone after him. He has to turn up in the UK sometime.

For lolz I may tweet him directions to the Ecuadorian embassy.

Good god. That is a very diverse school.
