Don’t mess with the tolerant people in Brighton.

👏👏👏

Last night we saw the true face of the U.K.

Thousands upon thousands of peaceful individuals standing against hate and division.

We now know that they far, far outnumber the people of violence and division trying to destroy our way of life.

Well it will never happen because slowly and quietly the people are winning the argument not by hate but by love for their fellow man and woman.

That was what was in show yesterday.

Absolutely a realist, a few marches with rainbows and glitter doesn’t put this country back together again when there are so many things to put right.

I didn’t think much would happen last night. They’ve had almost a week of rioting so they’re done.
Unfortunately though, I don’t think a few drag queens sprinkling glitter is enough to save this severely divided, utterly f**ked up country.

I think they’re done too now.
I hope that both sides are done tbh and the streets go back to normal.
I further hope that Keir Starmer will make immigration the top of his agenda, assessing numbers that we need, via legal migration to fill jobs and getting a handle on the illegal migration.

She is being a realist, sorry but she is.

Never mind kandinsky

Peace and harmony to you

Come on in the water is lovely!

Good morning - what a relief to see the majority oppose the awful right wing thugs.
Cheer up Kadinsky

This cheered me up and made me smile. When people like Braverman, Farage etc say they're speaking for the silent majority it has proved they're not.

Stand down Brighton

I am grinning at the thought of what happened yesterday.

That was incredibly inspiring.

The U.K. is winning

Hope over hate

Peace and harmony

Solidarity at its very best. Thousands standing together to show human decency is inspiring.

I just read on MN that a crowd of anti-rioters were singing ‘We’re black, white and Muslim and we’re Jews’ to the tune of ‘She’ll be coming down the mountain…’

That’s the stuff! How heartening to read that.

And then there was the anti-Muslim poster, who thought Brighton is somewhere in the Middle East ...

Doh!

Best laugh I've had all day, thanks.

Oh growstuff that's wonderful- no more Brighton Pavilions eh?
And to hear that some anti immigrant protesters decided to hide behind police officers ... oh the irony.
What a joyful start to the day on GN

Thank you @Whitewavemark2! This thread is just what I needed to see on GN.

This made me laugh so much

Very moved by the counter protests

I m in tears reading this

Thank you Brighton I ve been feeling such despair these last few days I don’t want to dislike my own country but I have

I love all the counter protests

It's brought me so much joy

In one place they were singing "We are many many many more than you"

I could cry

How marvelous . I always did like Brighton and it's people.

It's happening in many places around the country.

The good will win over the evil.

It's ironic that if you ask people what British values are, most people include tolerance, but that's exactly what the people who go on about "British values" don't have.

It does - this is the country I fell in love with and adopted, for those very true British values of tolerance, humour, humanity, which adopted me as one of the team, all those years ago (1970). Makes me so happy- and even more so for my ACs and GCs.

I haven’t seen any news about drag queens and glitter but there are huge anti racist protests/ marches through Birmingham and East London.So far peaceful as far right groups didn’t show up at all.
Tbh I don’t want to see any of this on our streets from any huge group, including the obligatory masked men waving Palestine flags and Bangladesh flags shouting from the river to the sea.Hope they go home quietly sometime soon.It makes cities and towns no go areas.
I think the tough fast jail sentences have worked and that’s the end of it all as they aren’t coming out this evening.
