"Reform UK['s] offices were targeted by [5k] anti-racism protesters in a peaceful march... and in Belfast 15k people turned up to one of the city’s biggest ever anti-racism gatherings."

LAST NIGHT

Last night, police in the UK issued warnings about another wave of far-right riots around the country.

Communities responded in force, mobilising across Britain in much larger numbers.

In the end, last night was a powerful display of tolerance, #solidarity, and anti-fascism, rather than another terrible tour of senseless destruction and hate.

We Are Many.
They Are Few

Could YOU make sure you go to your barricade should there be a next time?

As far right protests were planned all over the U.K. tonight, Walthamstow in East London is being overrun...by anti fascist demonstrators!

Just look at that crowd. Good work.
