I hear Belfast’s racist riots made the news across the world. What apparently didn’t make global news was the huge turnout for the Unite Against Racism rally on Saturday.
Obviously this doesn’t magically cancel out the racism. I just don’t want everyone thinking my city is nothing but its worst people.

It was similar in Glasgow. The fash get one chance to show up and cause trouble. Then, when people are alerted to their nonsense, the counter-demos absolutely swamp them with sheer numbers, diversity and joy, and they have to slink off behind a wall of cops after shouting a bit of racism and doing some posturing.
We outnumber them. By a lot. It always seems to be an unwelcome surprise on the day, because the media they steep themselves in won't ever mention that.
@petealexharris Yep. Every time. It’s always a small pathetic group of losers causing an outsize amount of trouble.
There was a very funny news clip from someone who showed up to an “anti-immigration protest” who thought that it must have been some sort of trick or scam because hardly anyone showed up…
