White Rose Solicitors: “Honestly we’ve been in tears as a team to hear of the support. We are so grateful & thankful.
It is very humbling to see the people come out in the way they have”
1500 of us came out today and twice we sent the racists home
Sheffield will be fascist free!
Both sides have dispersed from barkers pool now but we expect fascists will stay around the town centre for the rest of the day, stay alert
See you all later this evening
Alerta! Alerta!
Fascist Kellie Jay-Kean is organising a protest in Sheffield on the 21st September. More details to be announced.
Kellie Jay-Kean, aka "posie parker" is a transphobe who has known to associate with neo-nazis. Let's show her that she isn't welcome in Sheffield.
🚨 Wednesday, 7pm @ 101 Wilkinson Street, S10 2GJ
The far right are targeting law firms and migrant support organisations including a Visa support law firm in Sheffield.
We cannot let this pass, join us there
For all our differences with
@SheffieldSUTR
we just want to say that today Sheffield came out in force to stand together and make sure the racists know; we are many, they are few!
Sheffield is and always will be Antifascist.
If you have seen this video circulating: ITS IS NOT FROM TODAY
the time on town hall’s clock says 10 past 2
we have seen a lot of disinformation today, please think before sharing anything publicly on social media
Sunday - 12:30 - City Hall
Racists and Islamophobes plan to protest in our city centre! Its time to rally and remind these fascists that they are not welcome here.
Make sure to mask up and arrive in groups.
A statement can't do justice to the horrific scenes in South Yorkshire yesterday.
We want to thank everyone who turned up in Sheffield and saw off the facists. But now isn't a time for celebration. 1/3
In March 2018, Anna Campbell sadly lost her life fighting alongside Kurdish forces in Afrin. Please sign this petition for a memorial plaque to Anna in the Sheffield Peace Gardens, adjacent to the International Brigades memorial.
These lowlifes spent the afternoon getting pissed and defending the cenotaph (despite the fact no one is remotely interested in attacking it) before racially abusing and attacking a black family minding their own business on Division St.
Both sides have dispersed from barkers pool now but we expect fascists will stay around the town centre for the rest of the day, stay alert
See you all later this evening
@JWWade
Let's be clear, very few of the people using this free speech discourse believe in unrestricted free speech like they're claiming. Tommy Robinson and DFLA members etc are always calling for people to be locked up/deported for their speech, they just want to play the victim now
Hard to keep up with all the conspiracy theories from GI, FLA etc but this is a good debunking of the "London has a higher murder rate than New York" claim
Nazis from Patriotic Alternative were creeping round London at 6.30 this morning to take photos without anyone seeing them, and still managed to lose their banner. Sounds careless tbh
Anti-fascists seized a 12-metre 'White Lives Matter' banner from the new fascist party Patriotic Alternative (PA) in London this morning. The banner has now been destroyed, they are also missing two cameras.

Bizarre and offensive article in
@SheffieldStar
today, uncritically repeating random racists' opinions on the new Lord Mayor. Good to recognise the racism that exists but don't act like only wanting a "person of white English descent" for mayor is a legit opinion
@JWWade
There ya go, can't see much in the way of provocation, and afterwards the Muslim guy gets led away by police while the "day for freedom" are calling him a paedo..
Rest in peace Anna, a strong and compassionate revolutionary, who dedicated your life to changing the world. You will be mourned from Sheffield to Syria
Jake Bewick, a fascist from Woodhouse who's a member of Generation Identity UK and of the
@truefla
facebook group, was a member of now-banned nazi terror group National Action
Wouldn't normally signal boost GI, but the conference live stream is great entertainment. They called the first speaker who isn't actually there, they can't get the projector working and the speaker can't read the speech he's meant to be giving
This is not a family friendly event and the risk of far right attacks remains high. Take precautions and wear a mask to protect your identity from the far right. Stay safe and see you on the streets.

@Spoonhead8
Don't have time to get into details but for a lot of far right groups they use these ideas as a pretext to organise in public unopposed, so they can then harass/assault people they don't agree with (e.g. EDL, or Milo harassing trans students in his talks)
@JWWade
@Spoonhead8
Also Milo has a bit of a vested interest in bad ideas getting a hearing, given the amount of errors and non sequiturs in his book...
What we saw yesterday and the reports from comrades on the ground in Rotherham comes nothing short of attempted murder.
And now we are seeing new threats and calls to action from the far right to target those that support asylum seekers. We cannot let this stand unopposed. 2/3
Sad to see Nazi Jake from Handsworth is still about, having moved like others from National Action to Patriotic Alternative. If you have any info on Jake's activities I'm sure Red Flare would be interested.
PATRIOTIC ALTERNATIVE AND NATIONAL ACTION: A THREAD. 🧵 Fast-growing fascist party Patriotic Alternative (PA) have appointed Sheffield-based Jacob Bewick, another former supporter of proscribed neo-Nazi group National Action (NA), as "fitness officer" for their Yorkshire region.
