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

(I do live in a city with substantial numbers but its grown up through time not sudden - there hasn't been the sort of particular reaction you describe)

Who are ‘the people who deal with housing asylum seekers? In my experience, that’s usually done through official rather than charitable organisations so I’d expect local housing and children’s services to be involved in some way

I’m not clear how one house for young asylum seekers can cause locals to feel aggrieved, anxious or powerless. How many children - how many staff in support.

people complain about all sorts of 'others' though, even respite facilities for disabled people are complained about.

They were locals, though, weren't they, yogi?
The machete lot?

No, not locals.
