Peaceful Anti-Fascist Demonstrations Will “Rile Up” ‘Right-Wing’ | Isabel Oakshott

Talk International Editor Isabel Oakeshott says protests on Wednesday ‘didn’t need placards saying refugees welcome’. Thousands of peaceful anti-racism demonstrations appeared to quash fears of further violent disorder on Wednesday night despite the threat of more than 100 planned protests. Counter demonstrators in towns and cities across the country such as Birmingham, Middlesbrough, Walthamstow and Sheffield gathered with placards reading “Stamp out Islamophobia” and “No to Racism”. Despite the majority of forces facing very little trouble, the Metropolitan Police said about 50 people gathered in North End Road, Croydon, south London, and had “made clear their intention is to cause disruption & fuel disorder”. Isbael says: “Images of so called anti-fascist demonstrators are going to rile up those who feel their voices aren’t heard on these issues.” #riots #keirstarmer #isabeloakeshott #talktv Credit to : TalkTV
