I want all the marches to stop and with them all the damage to property and the need for hundreds of police who should be dealing with criminal behaviour in our local areas.

Because people in the middle (like myself) don’t agree that anyone expressing concerns over immigration is a facist, even if I personally don’t agree with the people on the other side of the march.

I don’t feel I can identify with the vitriol from the left and constant jibes of facist/racist/not welcome here for anyone who doesn’t agree and it would make me concerned about voting for the greens/labour and giving this more power.

None of that explains why “we’re more likely to end up with a Reform government”.

What would you call those who set fire to houses of non white people?

I think they are cunts. But I think grouping those people with people who are peacefully protesting is crazy and dangerous behaviour.

Fat Boy Slim was yelling at some racists anti immigration protesters who were barred in a pub 😂

Well done Brighton 👏

I don’t want to repeat the obvious, but I will anyway - you do appreciate that wanting controlled immigration doesn’t necessarily equal racist? Can you not come up with something else? It’s so tedious listening to someone spout this nonsense whenever there’s an attempt at debating the subject…..

Er, it does, if the many, many people politically in the middle feel unable to identify with what the left are saying there is a real chance they will
vote reform. The reason reform is gaining such popularity is there are vast swathes of the population who feel they are not being listened to and are fed up of being labelled as racist when they are expressing what they feel are legitimate concerns about the state of the country. Reform gives these people a home.

I don’t want a reform government, I think the left need to stop labelling everyone racist and start listening.

Just cunts? Targetting non-white people?

If you protest alongside racists, white supremacists and neo nazis, you might want to consider the company you keep.

Brighton where 90% of the population is White! Perhaps when it gets to 40% or less people may start to empathise with other areas. Could we have a mass movement of all newcomers directly to Brighton please? Wonder how compatible the woke gender identity teaching will be with Afghans, Iranians, Sudanese, Somalians?

It looks like the 'fascists' were just women who don't think men can become women, and the 'anti racists' were a bunch of violent masked men?

The fascists were racists and xenophobes and followers of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and his bully boys, and men massively outnumbered women. They included a couple with 2 young children and a baby in a pram, which sets a lovely example to their kids.

The anti-racists were much more mixed, and the group that went from my town, which is near Brighton, included some SAHMs, students, the chief exec of a regulatory body, at least one builder, several teachers, a dentist and two firefighters. If the gender mix was the same as at the London event a couple of months ago, I'd say it was around 3 women to every 2 men.

The local paper ran a live stream, and the anti-fascists spent much of the time kettled under a bridge by the police before being escorted to the station.

93% of Belfast’s population is white. Did you watch the news on Tuesday?

Seriously? Read the room. Didn’t the results in the locals give you just a tiny idea that people were showing their concern about immigration by voting in huge numbers for Reform?

Which protests were peaceful? Every demonstration in NI was organised specifically to be violent.

I would like us to deal with shit men, all shit men. If there was real consequences for shit mens behaviour it would improve
it has nothing to do with skin colour or where they were born, it is them getting away with it.
otherwise the logic is deport all men.

We can’t deport British men though unfortunately, because they are British in Britain. if only there was somewhere we could send them, that would be great, but no one would want our shit men, quite rightly. Why should we have to take other countries scummy men?

I agree with the pp who said until they can be effectively vetted, they shouldn’t be let in.

We have a similar situation as that pp, refugees in a hotel only it’s by a secondary school locally, not a college. The men leer and shout inappropriate things to the school girls about their bodies. Large groups of men intimidating school girls. The teachers have been abused too. The traffic around the school has increased because so many parents won’t let their children walk home alone because they are scared. The police get called, the men disperse so nothing can be done. It’s not ok.

Women wanting these men here are turkeys voting for Christmas.

Looks like anyone concerned enough about immigration to demonstrate is a fascist.

It’s going to be hilarious when Reform are in government, because that’s where it’s going.

I don't think you'll find it all that hilarious. Unless you are very wealthy and will be immune to the fall-out.

So voting in a local election for who organises filling potholes and emptying bins is showing concern about immigration? It makes no sense.

This is a thread talking about the Brighton protests. This is another issue, the deflection to suit the “everybody who has immigration concerns is a facist” agenda. Dangerous IMO.

This is the author of the article posted earlier - says it all!
Jamie Strudwick — 27 years old, gay, disabled and very political. What more do you need to know? I am involved in community activism and accidentally went viral in 2025 three times for challenging far-right and TERF nonsense

"Terf nonsense" - he can fuck off. I wish that Brighton was as accepting of single sex spaces and stopping me accessing them, as this, but of course not.

The people of Brighton need to realise that these people won’t be from countries that are accepting of their large LGBT population either. Many in Brighton are also rich and white, they are very far removed from what is happening to women and girls elsewhere in the country at the hands of these refugee men. Very protected people wanting to give up women and girls safety elsewhere. Absolute idiots.

eta, I’m not in favour of groups of men protesting violently. We do need common sense though.

But it’s not love. Reform are a joke - as are the supporters. We’re all laughing at the knuckle draggers - save are wimmin (whilst all being convicted domestic abusers).

Reform are a joke, that’s not going to stop them being in government though.
The pendulum of public opinion is swinging.
The only people that can prevent the inevitable Reform government are Labour.
They can see the danger, but don’t have the balls to start detaining and deporting the illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers.

I think the point is that the racists had no chance to start all their thuggery. They were massively outnumbered and this can happen in other towns, if only everyone was a little bit less brainwashed

Imagine if the Southampton fascist protesters had been outnumbered to the same extent?

That riot probably would never have happened.

Why are the people holding the poster wearing masks?
What is Dykes 4 Dolls.
Everyone knows Brighton is left wing don’t they, so not really surprising the crowds are all colourful?

Dykes 4 Dolls is, I imagine, middle aged married lesbians who will never have to use dating apps so think men in dresses can call themselves women and date lesbians as long as it isn't them.

I agree, any my concerns with all this shouting “facist” is it’s going to push more centre voters to the right as they just can’t identify with what they perceive to be the loony left.
