Anti-racism protesters outnumber far-right in Walthamstow

Counter-protesters claimed they had “scared off” far-right ­extremists after taking to the streets in their thousands on Wednesday night.

Police had prepared for the worst after thugs threatened violent protests outside the offices of law centres ­providing advice to immigrants. However, they were far outnumbered by anti-racism demonstrators.

Thousands of counter-demonstrators gathered in Walthamstow, east London, ahead of a planned protest, with groups chanting “Whose streets? Our streets!” and “Free Palestine”.

About 500 anti-fascist demonstrators gathered on Glossop Road in Sheffield but there was no sign of anti-immigration agitators. There were 50 anti-immigrant demonstrators in Southampton but they were outnumbered by 200 anti-racism campaigners.

So riots for an awful fentanyl addict are justified but doing the same for three little girls is going too far. This country is disgusting.

[The-True-Man]

Don’t get how shouting about Palestine has anything to do with the current situation in our country.

[shaunrobinson]

Wanting to end mass migration is not racism

[razworthers_]

Haha no far right turned up lol absolute joke what the news puts out

[Starmerispureevil]

To those saying “refugees welcome” and “open the borders”…. I will ask 1 question, the same as I’ve asked for years….where are they all going to go? I’m still waiting for an answer

[gailhickman]

All those holding Refugees Welcome signs should be made to take one or two into their own homes. Would save a bit on the hotel bills we're paying.

Lgbtq defending people flying palstinian flags when if they was in palastine they would by pushed off a building. 😂

[sparkmanuk]

That’s how the London elite phrase it, if you don’t want mass immigration your far right

[donaldsimpson]

Headlines today - far left take back empty streets !

[Philoyouknow]

Nothing to protest when everything is free.

[Jay-zs]

Mass produced placards and signs but you expect us to believe this wasn’t orchestrated 😅😂😂😂

[cmandy]

Immigrants 1 Britain 0. We, ve lost our beloved Britain. Thanks Blair and Kier.

[Ash-udgc]

Most of us are busy actually working to go show up at peaceful protests. Goes to show what these muppets provide to society

[terence]

Palestine Hamas lovers have a bonding session right here and they wonder why the country dislikes them.

[chrisbugden]

The "far right" didnt come out you liars

[maxcaines]

It's not "far right" to want your streets safe.

[EDL_]

Funny how the media all spout the same lines this morning

[DK-tq]

So many patriotic people with their Palestine and Rainbow flags 🙄

[outfromtheshadows]

Presumably they have viable solutions for the already stretched resources in the country while accommodating the new arrivals.

[RogerSmith]

They are protesting against something that doesn’t exist but the media told them to worry about. How ironic and sad loool
