Please Rt. Our Stand Up to Racism Stall was today attacked by Goddard and his fash. We would not move. We will not move. Table kicked over. Tough. Put up another one.
#NoPassaran
An Iranian refugee family on my dad's estate has been targeted. One car torched, windows of house put through. Letters to residents claiming the dad is a child abuser. SO proud of my 89 year old dad for ensuring full welcome, talking to residents to stop this racist shit.
@PrufrockUK
No, they keep waiting for the silent majority to join them in their millions. After we had gone, around 20 hard core ones crept back, fought the cops, raided Sainsburys (not the fruit, I should add) and am told are now kettled.
@dahodgson
LOl. The hard core came back (we knew they would but there were other events that need antifascists today). They fought the cops and raided Sainsburys. They would have done far worse if not for us earlier, sweeping lots away
It doesn't matter what statements Merseyside Police issue, the fuckwits will continue to make stuff up. No respect or care for the victims or those affected. Sick of tinfoil hat Mystic Megs, and bloody racists.
I can see that healing and unification in action on this weird and quite nasty
#losers
thread. Some very strange, bitter people in the world. One Tory MP already barking on about private insurance to fund the 'NHS.' I guess people want that. Fine.
@jeremycorbyn
My 15 year old is Labour candidate in his High School mock election. He saw Mr Corbyn at the Manchester Rally. Inspired and wishes he could vote!
Manvers Holiday Inn, Rotherham
Thomas Birley pleaded guilty to arson with intent to endanger life, violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon.
Jeremy Richardson KC told the court
"This is a crime which carries a life sentence.
"I rule nothing in and rule nothing out.
Massive, massive turnout in Manchester against racists and facists. You cant move in Piccadilly Gardens. Whose streets? Our streets?

Yes! I am a train commuter. It is like travelling on a late shed on wheels every day. Where is all the profit going? pay the workers, save the jobs, invest!
@IndiaWilloughby
Could not agree more. What we need are safe spaces for all women. We need funding for those suffering abuse or domestic violence. What we don't need is transphobia dressed as protecting women's rights!
There won't be a civil war, you daft cunts with your
#enoughisenough
crap. Every fash group has been saying that over a 100 years. You will keep rioting and end up in the clink. That is all
@Number10cat
Exactly. My dad is 94 and hated it. No chance of an education, which is what he wanted. But made sure his kids and grandkids went that route. Tories want to block working class kids from higher education. Always have
I am a working-class lass. I would rather boil my head in piss than vote for a racist or fascists. Tommy Robinson is no friend of the working class. Neither is Farage or UKIP.

@MikeStuchbery_
A crank with a self-created platform, used to demonise. The culture of fear and terror is notched up by such blather. The far right terrorists are your people. Own them.
@Mike_Sammon
So sorry. The police know who the organisers are. They are not from Southport. They travel round the country looking to create violence. Poor community in grief and they do not care
Fash totally outnumbered in Liverpool. No counter in Sunderland (for good reason). If any of the travelling fash circus is coming to Manchester tomorrow, you will NOT be allowed to trash out city.
@lewis_goodall
Some saps will fall for it. And the wealthy will welcome anything that gives them more money. The rest of us want a functioning country and a decent society
@pauldashworth
@JFCWindmill
It was horrendous. One cop said it is a free country! We stood our ground. Twenty mins of harrassment and raciism and violent threats in our faces. Finally, cops kept them three feet apart.
@BethRigby
Is it exhausting having to keep reporting on their professed exhaustion? We are all exhausted with them. Still, let them linger: will be worse for them.
@LBC
@NickFerrariLBC
When workers leave and people cheer, I will be waiting for them to explain how this means more houses, better NHS, better schools, lower taxes...
@nazirafzal
And blocks working class kids from university because they would not have time to do paid work if voluntary hours. The Tories have always hated higher education expanding

@theipaper
It is organised by Neo Nazi Patriotic Alternative. They have ZERO interest in the horrors that took place. They hate Jewish people as well as Muslims.
@lewis_goodall
Small rabble from Notts, input from PA's Amanda Smith, AKA Yorkshire Rose (Wakefield who sells/grifts fash tea and cakes) & the cast of Little Britain. I grew up near there. No chance. They blocked Aldi entrance by mistake, ran around a roundabout, and fell out with each other :)
@implausibleblog
That is where I am from, and still have loads of family there. My dad was a miner at Manvers (now where the Inn is). We were poor. Deprivation did not cause this: racism did. Stirred up (still) by Reform Cllr David White, Penistone candidates Dillingham & Wood.
@Ouston79Quad
@ucu
I am also from the same background. But your son..and mine..and all students need the employer to create excellent conditions for learning. Zero hour contracts across the sector are rife. If we have a race to the bottom it also affects all sectors and thus all graduates
Why is
#tommyrobinson
targeting educators via TR news and inciting? Because Tommy Rot is anti working class and anti education. Grifting, middle class, scrounging fascist.
@MarcusRashford
Oh wow. Books change lives. I live in Levenshulme, but brought up on Council estate. Books changed my life. I teach now at uni - and teaching students about reading communities, and students undertake a project on reading. Will be adding this to their list of things to look at!
@JoshHalliday
The core organisers hate journalists. The fash attacked one here in Manchester, followed by actual book burning. Keep well away from them. They rev others up who are not part of their core group. James Shane of pa is a convicted child abuser. He organised PA family days
Tommy Robinson mini me chippy tits Goddard arrrested today, too. After his pathetic show of himself in Manchester court, time for him to go away. Boring man.
Wes Streeting, listen up. Working-class communities were left to stagnate for decades. NO industrial strategy from Blair and Brown. Not as simple as you see it.
#skynews
@transportgovuk
LOL. Look at services in the North - TPS run barely any trains. Nothing to do with strikes. You could not make this rubbish up. Solidarity with the strikers, too!
I see Dutch far right Eric Heusdens has flown in to see Tommy. Spent night drinking with Britain First Nazis. Of course, Tommy R ain't racist or encouraging racism and fascism..
The cunts trying to riot in Wath clearly do not know their working class history. During the miners' strike, that community was supported by brown skinned people. You utter knobs. One word for you: SCAB
@LiamThorpECHO
We stopped them in Manchester, apart from stragglers who wanted to fight the cops and loot. We have three places to be today. It is everyone's duty to defend communities.
@vicderbyshire
Election to run away, dump on new government, then try to rise from their ashes with more lies and be elected next time. Rinse and repeat
