  1. 'The Labour administration […] intends to flatten social, political – and therefore class – conflict, and reassert the state as the sole “legitimate” agent of politics in Britain.'

    'One could reasonably suggest that the particular vitriol reserved for Muslims by the Labour leadership comes down to an as yet not-entirely-tameable internationalist consciousness among Muslim communities in Britain, and their proven willingness to exert this electorally.'

  2. Whilst the police were clamping down on anti-immigration riots across the country, they were also making dozens of pre-emptive arrests at Selby, forcing the cancellation of a climate protest camp near Drax power station.

    [Should you not know the Drax Power Station is responsible for 3% of UK's Climate Emissions]

    Who authorises these things?

  7. "Starmer choosing not to use the “I-word” is far from surprising. As my research has repeatedly shown, few politicians are willing to do so. Acknowledging that Islamophobia exists would mean having to do something about it. And as we know, this has never happened"
    Chris Allen, University of Leicester

    Refusing to call out Islamophobia has emboldened the far right – and the current violence is the result

  8. A joyous account of the huge antifascist protests around England last night which ensured few of the far right rioters dared show their faces.

  9. Image of a "British Patriot" taking back his county from "Muslim invadors" have been circulating on social media.


    These brave warriors are risking their lives to take back their country and show the world the "British values".

    What is amazing, is that the police seems to be so much nicer to them than they were to Climate Change, BLM and anti genocide protesters.

    I wonder why....

  10. Scottish Government issues 'protest' statement ahead of #Glasgow '#FarRight' rally promoted by Tommy Robinson

    By Alistair Grant
    Published 2nd Aug 2024

    "The Scottish Government has warned the right to peaceful protest should not be used to justify hateful or violent behaviour ahead of a planned rally in Glasgow promoted by #TommyRobinson. A '#ProUK rally' has been planned for the city’s George Square on September 7, with the English Defence League (#EDL) founder, whose real name is #StephenYaxleyLennon, posting about the event on social media.

    "It follows violence in #Southport, Merseyside, this week after the killings of three young girls in a knife attack. Police said the scenes were sparked by supporters of the #farright claiming those present backed the EDL – although the organisation has not existed for around a decade.

    "Police across the country are bracing for more protests following the Southport stabbing attack, as one force said disorder 'simply will not be tolerated'.

    "The Muslim Council of Britain said hundreds of mosques were strengthening their security and putting in place protective measures ahead of more planned protests. There are fears Islamic places of worship could be targeted during demonstrations expected to take place over the weekend.

    "A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'The unacceptable violent disorder witnessed in other parts of the United Kingdom this week does not constitute peaceful protest. There is no current intelligence indicating similar incidents are likely in #Scotland, but we will continue to monitor developments.'

    "Mr Yaxley-Lennon shared a post on social media that said the Glasgow event would coincide with 'other pro-UK rallies'. The post said the event would be a 'peaceful protest to share our distrust and fear of the future'.

    "Mr Yaxley-Lennon did not indicate whether he planned to attend, tweeting only: 'The British are rising.' Mr Yaxley-Lennon is the subject of an arrest warrant after leaving the country shortly before a major legal case against him."

  15. Wouldn't it be delicious irony if the far right thugs were convicted and imprisoned under the Public Order (riot) act, slammed through by thatcher in 1986 to curb mass picketing? #UKriots #racist #FarRightThugs
