Adver quoting that some firms in the centre of Town have sent staff home early because of possible far right protest later today.
In all my years the only time I can remember anything like that happening was due to adverse winter weather when the roads were blocked with snow.

There were rumours of it in 2010 when the London riots were on, I got sent home early from Zurich. Don't think anything actually came of it though.

That must have been when looting was rife in major shopping centres.

Adver reported this morning 50 protestors at the county ground for a far right protest when it was just people picking up their kids from football, then edited the post.

Fucking idiots.

I'm so sorry that she had to experience this and that she is ok. It's high time that it was acceptable for people to be able to call people out as racists, without unlawful retribution when such actions are/have happened. Instead, what happens is those people can't and so it continues a bubbling over of closeted racism that is highly prevalent in the UK.

In the mainstream media, why aren't the main channels calling these ''rioters'' out as racists and terrorists? Because this is exactly what they are.

FYI, to media companies and anyone else who needs to know;

racist
/ˈreɪsɪst/

adjective
characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

"People attacking members of the public on Saturday 3rd August are racist cunts."

noun
a person who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

"Tommy Robinson is a racist cunt."

terrorist
/ˈtɛrərɪst/

noun
noun: terrorist; plural noun: terrorists
a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

"hundreds of terrorists entered the city centre on Saturday 3rd August."

adjective: terrorist
unlawfully using violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

"the EDL is a terrorist organization which is supposedly defunct, yet possibly operating under different names."

======================================================

NB: I'll add that the people below are at the bare minimum, social agitators along with being both racism and terrorism enablers. Some of them wear cravats, some of them don't; they are all wolves in sheep's clothing to a degree - pretending to offer a solution, when really all they are invested in is staying relevant and promoting themselves further as some form of political martyr. They've probably all wanked over Enoch Powell at a ''unity meeting'' or an ''election training'' event. They are all racist cunts:

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon
Paul Golding
Nigel Farage
Nick Griffin

and countless others...  Roll Eyes

Here's a few articles that counter, give reasoning behind why these ''protest events'' are different to others in several years and support my thoughts on the approach by mainstream media. The first is the AFSC and American but highlights definitive reasoning; they are a peaceful organisation. The second is The Guardian, and the third is the Jacobin, a self proclaiming American Left bias magazine. I found this article particularly sane and offering some balance - that is, if you care about humanity outside of your own skin.

https://afsc.org/news/why-we-should-rethink-calling-white-supremacist-violence-terrorism

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/06/first-edition-far-right-riots-police

https://jacobin.com/2024/08/britain-riots-muslims-far-right

With a previous background in C-T and TSG, I particularly agreed with this part of the Jacobin article, right before the writer talks about the role of journalism;

'The government should urgently implement anti-terrorism laws to address this ongoing threat. These laws must also tackle digital organizing and the spread of hate through social media platforms, including Twitter/X, where many far-right groups have found fertile ground to organize and prepare for their marches.

Even Elon Musk, whose ties to fascist elements are now undeniable, has posted unhinged tweets that directly legitimize and incite far-right terrorism. This is blatantly undermining the current measures being planned to quell the riots in the UK. The ongoing situation on the platform reveals that some individuals are fantasizing about civil war–like conditions — and are determined to empower thugs to roam the streets and terrorize minorities.'

Although I don't agree with the far right sentiment and actions you have to say the same about all extreme elements,  religious ones, the antifa/anti capitalist lot who riot and damage without similar condemnation. I'm happily not at either end of the political spectrum, any extreme left or right view in my opinion is bigoted and wrong.

Also, when does free speech turn into hate speech?

There isn't a Right to Free Speech in the UK, so shut up everyone.
