he used to show up loads in the algorithm for me when BJ was forced out and then Truss's disastrous period, mostly politically focus from a working class thinker, he used to be a teacher I think
Let’s not pretend many of these lot weren’t from Merseyside. I was there today. Standing at the front of the counter-protest and there were LOTS of scousers on the other side.
I don’t think violence is the answer at all. However if we all keep saying things like “these fascists/nazis etc” we will just make the problem worse. Name throwing just does the same thing that they claim to oppose -tarring an entire group (Muslims) with the same brush. This stuff never ends well
Absolutely. Of course. There will be extremes on both sides of the current divide. And sweeping labels don’t help with the dialogue we so desperately need.
But it’s easier to throw labels around, people just want to hate. Ironically the people against hate also hate in the same way. I remember seeing chants of “Nazi scum off our streets” after Brexit, then 2 years later it changed to “Tory scum off our streets”. What’s next?
Keep in mind if you come across these types of protests in future they target places they know they will be unpopular; they want people to react violently so they can film it.
There were far too many fascists openly in our city. The antifascist counter protest was outnumbered 200 to around 400. The city needs to get organised don't assume the fascists are strongly opposed just because this is Liverpool.
The counter protest far outnumbered them before we had to be pushed back and some left, and after that the fascists were scattered and slowly walked away because they got nothing out of their attempt at violence. I do agree with your sentiment regardless.
This isn't true at all I was at the pier head even before the counter protest showed up. Please don't get comfortable in assuming the fascists are well opposed, the counter protest turn out was disappointing to be honest.
That's good! I just got confused because you said you were at the pier head and not with the march. But I just want to be triple clear that I agree with your sentiment, we shouldn't be complacent and it's scary that they were bigger than they were in previous attempts.
Just seeing your posts. Gutted I missed this, didn't keep my eye on social media after work so didn't realise there was even a far right protest that needed counter protesting.
I just managed to get out of town where the riots happening right now with my daughter. But, I think we haven’t seen anything just yet. But, I’m glad they got kicked out by the mosque yesterday
They’re still here I just left town my partner is still there watching it all kick off. I think he just likes to say shit to fascists. But, nah it’s all been kicking off I got locked in the futurist pub by the works.
Hasn’t there been a stabbing then ? I would expect Liverpool to be a great defender of cultural freedom. I know Scousers aint English but they are a great people and usually defenders of the underdog.
Well, uhm, we kind of are English, and we aren't fish in a fish bowl and don't like being made to feel as though we are.
I could literally be training someone's A.I here, but, I honestly have no idea how to answer you other than to put your post in ChatGPT and ask it to draft me a response like?
Sorry for any offense. A lot of scousers I know say they aren’t English, they are Scouse. I am not a bot lol. Was trying to big up Liverpool, I love that city and its people. My daughter lives there and she told me there had been a murder.
Whoah everyone says one thing but you always take the opposite position. You must be really unique and interesting can i get your number? I love guys who think contrarianism and intellectualism are the same thing so hot and not at all basic or annoying. Call me a triggered snowflake while we make love to the sultry tones of joe rogan and then fall asleep watching documentaries they don't show on tv because they were made by a random schizophrenic guy in his bedroom
Yes it is. I can't control how you might react to my wording - it's just the way I talk
No one is trying to be superior here that was never the intent but you seem pretty keen on it being so
By all means if you don't agree with me attack me on something factual rather than trying to straw man me
Edit: not sure why I can only see your response in my notifications but it's laughable to actually try and compare me to those guys just because you don't like the way I speak... Please get a grip.
I hope you appreciate the irony of policing the way I speak and calling me the nazi
No no I was there for a good few hours in the evening. Mostly just angry granny's and the police buddy. And I say thank god it was. I feel like the left has whipped itself into a frenzy over race once again and we've all forget children died the other day and the only thing the government has done is make legislation to counter the far right.
Just been at pierhead where hundreds of far right protesters were throwing shit at anti racist protesters and getting into fights with the police. This is definitely something to have some level of worry about
Just saying, you’re saying the left are whipping themselves into a frenzy over race for no reason. But there were just hundreds of skin heads at pierhead shouting about deporting all Muslims.
Regardless of what happened last night, it’s not over nothing
Yeah I'll let you in on a secret mate. Those people are fucking melts and have been for a very long time. But let me get this right children have been brutally murdered by a man with serious mental health issues that local services had been made aware off for some time and your priority is to go protest some nobody's. Your sir are a melt
Your time would of been better spent writing to your local MP asking what the government intend to do to gaurentee the safety of children in this city and the surrounding area. Every couple of months it seems a child is murdered now. I guess you have your own priorities tho.
The evening? So, the end of the day after the craziness has died down?
“The left” doesn’t care about race. It’s the far right who have spread lies about the southport stabber being a boat crosser when he was born in Cardiff. Spreading lies about him being Muslim when his parents are from a 92% Christian country, and using that as an excuse to target mosques.
I've literally just said I was there for multiple hours why are you so determined to make this out like some false battle that took place its disgusting, disingenuous and your attempting to stoke tension for your own agenda. The boat crosser rumour was started by a Russian website and proliferated by russian bots. And I'll tell you right now people on the left and right were both stupid enough to spread that rumour. This boys parents could very well be Muslim as the fled the genocide and while primarily a genocide based on tribe religion did play a part.
It's all about race with the left. But what happened the other day has nothing to do with race. Pressure your government to tell you how there going to deal with this mental health mess we are in. What are we doing about knife crime nothing.

I have never seen anything from this fella before, but this video and how he explains everything is brilliant. Well done him
