So, the fascists turned up outside of the targeted building, and as far as I can see the road is full of the tolerant folk who are as someone said are really tolerant of tolerance, and very intolerant of intolerance.

I've no idea if it's true, but the word here in Brighton is that the fascists were met off the trains by drag queens and a samba band.

You don't have to be an idiot to bring white supremacy to the most welcoming and inclusive city in the country, but it sure helps

There are moments when the goodness in people shines through and your heart swells with pride ❤️

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

Doh!

Heard there were 100 anti far right protestors to every tin pot nazi.
Brighton is the rainbow city, this was never going to be worth the thugs train fare.
Good riddance.

It looks as if the whole of Brighton has turned out. It is quite a big road that runs from the station down to the sea, and it is absolutely packed with thousands upon thousands of people all just stood around being tolerant😄

Civilisation - thank you Brighton!

to be fair it is the same in Bristol and several other cities. This thuggery and prejudice will not be tolerated.. I am proud to live in Brighton though..

I cannot tell you how happy this is making me

My heart swells to see all the peaceful, pro immigrant counter protestors all around the country. We can be an inclusive, caring society and not allow this social breakdown..
