I have read various posts on here this morning that have left me feeling depressed and disheartened with the state of the country. This story has given me hope.

There’s a lot of sense being spoken by the people quoted. Including distinguishing between the far right thugs and the more generally disenfranchised. The first group should be banned and the second, listened to. I hope the government will take note.

Lovely, thank you for sharing. Sounds exactly like the Liverpudlians I know ❤️

It doesn't surprise me that it happened here in Liverpool. I was at the demonstrations? on the Friday, it didn't have the vive that the protesting on either side had on the Saturday. I think a lot of people turned up because their mates were. Some ofcthe women turned up to try to drag their bfs out of it, so it looked bigger than it was. That Mosque has regular open days for all, with bouncy castles. I've dropped in with my youngest GD on the way to town.
