I hope that this evening, it becomes a case of "There's More Of Us Than There Are Of Them" and terror is avoided

About 200 counter-protesters have gathered outside a refugee and migrant
centre in Birmingham that was identified as a location for a far-right rally on
Wednesday night.
So far, it appears no far-right groups have come and the situation remains
calm.
Most of the shops and businesses in the vicinity, including a Tesco Express
where the counter-protesters are gathered, have boarded up their windows
and doors. Many reportedly sent staff home early.
Chants of "Fascist scum out of Brum" broke out among the crowd, and many
were holding placards with anti-racism messages.
Mish Rahman, trustee of Show Racism the Red Card, addressed the crowd,
saying: "The scale of the far-right riots of the past few days have been
shocking, but not surprising.
"Over the last 30 years, the hostile environment has provided the grounds
for this to fester. We have to defend ourselves and defeat racism.
"Staying home does not mean staying safe. These fascists are not welcome
on our streets, and we're here to tell them so."
