Thankfully police were already there, and there have been arrests. But what were those men thinking? What were they going to do if/when they actually got in? It beggars belief.

This is the content that needs to be read.

Absolute scum bags. 😡

It doesn't bear thinking about, does it?

How can people be so bloody hateful?

They love being hateful and also love that you post about it.

It doesn't really matter does it ? It will feed into the threats that Farage is underscoring (not making, you notice, merely "highlighting") about violence in society unless we make him king or something.

Clearly the far right were rattled by the resilience of the British state, compared to other places they have learned from,.

Agree.

Do they honestly think if they got through and assaulted asylum seekers they’d be given some kind of prize?

I despair of people at times - I really do.

Farage's scumbags

Do they honestly think if they got through and assaulted asylum seekers they’d be given some kind of prize?

No. They'd want the sight of police cordons and protection around all the centres (because of them) and then have farty Farage blather on about wasted money, risk to women and children (from his thugs) and keep the whole sensation of a pressure cooker going in order to advance his aims.

Remember how Russia does things. Accuse your opponent of doing them. Do them. And then gaslight the world into reporting that what you accused your opponents of is what they were doing.

Best achieved with a captive press. Or a press chasing clicks.

Have we so soon forgotten the #FarageRiots ?

What do you mean, placemats? That we should be silent online about these things?

Meanwhile, from the place where humanity dwells

It's the sequal

Ah, those fine, upstanding masked raiders, protecting the British way of life.😞

and the worst remake of "Let it be" you can imagine ...

With pic ...

Who is the top right one?

Is it Ant Middleton?

I let you guess. But as one wag in the comments on the post said

"Like a human version of the Bristol stool sample chart".

Paul McCartney, I thought

With the mosque and the flag it's all gone a bit passover hasn't it ?

Want to avoid the angel of death - the Farage goon squad ?

Put this symbol on your door.

Because them muslemics would never be able to do that - you know, like vampires can't touch silver.

"We are the goon squad and we're coming to town.

Meep Meep."

E2A: Spelling.

Regarding Farage's coverage on the BBC.
Who is allowing this?
I think they should hang their head in shame at what their ridiculous fawning and excessive airtime given to this unpatriotic, hateful man has set in motion.
In my opinion.

Update from Dragon House in York.

and good to repay the kindness:

The announced protest in Portsmouth was mistakenly targeting student flats, based on misinformation. The protest organisers said they would continue anyway.

I'm sure this would make some posters very happy :

Earlier in August, the government added a list of prohibited items for prepaid cards that are given to asylum seekers that are automatically blocked if the cardholder tries to buy them - this includes ‘toys.’
So, if a parent spots a ‘reduced to clear’ Paw Patrol whatever for 50p before they get to the checkout in Tesco and they try and use some of their £9.95 per week to buy it for their kid to bring a tiny amount of joy into their life to take their mind off the hordes of screaming ‘protestors’ fifty yards away from their bedroom window, it’s a ‘no.’
