Please note: the civil war in the UK has been cancelled owing to a massive display of human decency on one side and the other side not showing up.
@thewritertype some people wanted a civil war but got inexplicably confused and started a pogrom instead.
@thewritertype I wish that was true but there are key figures - we all know who they are - who will continue to stoke divisions
@thewritertype And it was tea time for the working class and tee time for the wealthy
@thewritertype and barely a word of thanks from the Government to the people who saved their arse last night.
@Lazarou @thewritertype I read the labour party actually wrote a letter discouraging members to attend " protests or counter protests "
@dacig @Lazarou @thewritertype well can't have the proles thinking Sir Keir stands for something.

Canadian media gives the win to the cops 1st, community 2nd. This is clearly bonkers backwards.

U.K. rioters thwarted by heavy police presence, counter-protests | CBC News

British anti-racism campaigners filled the streets of towns and cities across the country and police put on a massive show of force, largely stifling a threatened wave of far-right demonstrations.

@thewritertype as the 1970s poster nearly said, what if they held a civil war and nobody showed up

@capnthommo @thewritertype

A good few years ago now, I went to counter-protest an EDL march but my bus was late. When I finally got there all there was to be seen were a couple of coppers chatting and a man sweeping up beer cans.
The footy was on so the EDL had goosestepped their march faster and headed to the pubs, the anti-racists had gone home. The shops had shut and shuttered up early so I just had to turn round and get the next bus home.

@AndyPaciorekArt @thewritertype to me this demonstrates the level of commitment to their cause that the likes of the edl have. Something to do until the footy is on in the pubs.

@thewritertype

The Farage-Tommy Rioters last seen heading off with flaming torches and pitchforks ...

@thewritertype smh they cancelled the civil war??? Cancel culture gone TOO FAR

@thewritertype

Poor Elon, he must be so disappointed

@thewritertype Elon Musk and Nigel Farage have no memory of having claimed anything about a 'civil war'. Funny, that.

@thewritertype

A massive display of human decency was inevitable.

@thewritertype The fascists don't realize how drastically outnumbered they are. They are now in the find out stage.
@thewritertype I don't want to play down the Human decency but have you ever noticed how the side that didn't show up mainly riot when the weather is decent? I don't think they like the rain (which now returned) either.
@thewritertype Here's hoping that the U.S. follows their sage and sober example come November.
