Cumbria

last night, joining together to protect their friends, their neighbours, and their communities against the threat of the far right.

The true Britain was shown last night, the loving, tolerant, welcoming Britain. It warms my heart to see how thousands upon thousands rallied to show that the far right are not welcome.

Peaceful protest..

Funny enough the poster from near Brighton said the reds would be the ones who were planning to attend to counter the mob who would be the ones attacking the police..

The 'unwashed vermin' he claims..

Given there were about two thousand there it didn't quite match his claims..

The 4 or 5 far right blokes who turned up looked slightly uncomfortable.

They did yes, wonder if it'll be claimed they were 'kettled' from the ferocious blood thirsty reds..?

In Bristol the antifa was made up of pensioners, young people, some hippy types, local business owners, local residents, some students, artists, a good mix of normal people.

Brighton

“About 6,000 riot-trained officers were drafted in to tackle the expected rallies and an estimated 30 counter-protests after immigration law firms and refugee centres were listed as potential targets in a far-right chat group on the encrypted messaging app Telegram.

But instead, thousands of counter-protesters took to the streets of Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Brighton and London to protect their communities.

At 7pm in Liverpool, hundreds of people formed a human shield outside a targeted church that hosts an immigration advice centre while women held banners saying: “Nans against Nazis”.

Similar scenes were witnessed in Hackney and Walthamstow, both in east London, and Finchley in the north of the capital, as thousands of local people and anti-fascist activists came together and held placards saying “we are one human race” and “unite against hate”.

Also… less publicised… 5000 were out in Newcastle last night peacefully protecting at one of the list…

Shows how different Newcastle is to Sunderland and Middlesbrough

It was peaceful enough in Brighton, can’t deny it. But there was only about six Enough is Enough protesters. I knew it would be that way, who would want to be arrested and charged as a terrorist? Add to that the risk of being horribly outnumbered! I heard there was about three to four thousand antis.

I worked till 11pm, and spoke to many people. They were talking about what they were going to do to any ‘racists’ who dared to show up, and their intentions were far from friendly. Eventually they had a brass band, so I heard, celebrating some kind of victory.

Cest la vie - For now.

Not a bad turnout for a hoax given the amount of shops boarded up along the Welly Road in Northampton I have my suspicions among the carpenters guild.

Hopefully tensions will dissipate with the real test will be at the weekend. Praying no other incident will spark scenes like this again.

Let’s be honest…there absolutely IS a militant/more extreme element of antifa, as there often is in many movements. But I’d say the sheer number of ordinary folks coming out to stand with their community to try and stop this mindless thuggery was fabulous.

I don’t think this is over, not by a long way. There will probably be a national rally by EiE, (hopefully nowhere near Brighton). I hope I’m wrong, because there will be carnage, and whether you believe me or not, I don’t want to see anyone get badly hurt.

The future need’s sorting, and soon. The angst is real between right and left. That is genuine hatred, there has been no triumph of love. Three little girls were murdered, for gods sake! That is what started all this, and that sort of thing has got to stop. Surely both sides should at least agree on that.

The news was all about misogyny last week, and I fear for my daughter, and granddaughter. Especially when anybody could just randomly attack you for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Sorry and all that, but enough is most certainly enough.

What is happening has nothing to do with three little girls being murdered. That tragedy was merely the excuse the racists had been looking for.

This is not about left against right, as much as you want it to be, this is about the silent majority against the far right, racist thugs who have been rioting and spreading hate.

If they were indeed ‘racist thugs,’ they would not need an excuse. To say that ordinary centre right people were just racists waiting for something like that to happen is insulting, and another reason why outwardly reasonable people will never really get along. We are divided, and mostly because of politics. Not race, not religion, politics..

Ordinary ‘centre right’ people don’t go out and loot shops, try to burn down hotels with people in them, and attack places of worship, and the police.

I think in this country we have become afraid to call racists what they are. Hopefully having a prime minister who isn’t terrified to upset far right elements of his party will mean we can start calling these people out for what they are.

Centre right people were some of the many thousands who were out last night protecting their friends and neighbours, they weren’t out at the weekend rioting and throwing up Nazi salutes.

It’s time we realised the far right will never be appeased, it’s time to listen to the majority who don’t go out attacking refugees, not be cowed by violence.

The three girls you mentioned who were murdered was committed by a 17 year old Christian kid born in Wales

So once you admit that….. then the premise for you going out and committing violence actions of racial hatred in the name of those kids becomes mute….

The murder of the three innocent children has got nothing to do with the racist thugs who attacked police, set fires etc in Southport..

Simply stop trying to associate it with any side..

It has been. Especially after all the hate that was on display at the weekend with the racist riots, and all the apologists on here. the hate from both sides you mean "

"It was peaceful enough in Brighton, can’t deny it. But there was only about six Enough is Enough protesters. I knew it would be that way, who would want to be arrested and charged as a terrorist? Add to that the risk of being horribly outnumbered! I heard there was about three to four thousand antis.

I worked till 11pm, and spoke to many people. They were talking about what they were going to do to any ‘racists’ who dared to show up, and their intentions were far from friendly. Eventually they had a brass band, so I heard, celebrating some kind of victory.

What do you mean “for now”?

I’m hoping this is the end of the far right riots. Are you hoping for a different outcome?

What on earth makes you suggest that not everyone might agree that the murders of the 3 kids were unacceptable?

Can you find a single post, or article, or comment from anyone that suggests otherwise?

Please keep it respectful. You do yourself no favours with such comments

“Enough is enough” … is that the new slogan?

You seem intent on stoking the flames, seeming to relish the idea that things might get worse.

Who said people can’t protest? I have been on several protests, some huge, all peaceful.

What happened over the course of the last week was NOT protest. Please stop pretending otherwise. It was planned rioting

But I am hoping that peaceful demos can be held without so many threats being made. If the ‘far right’ are involved it is because they saw an opportunity. Fight violent threats with violence, they got an in. Then everyone gets tarred with the same brush. People getting arrested just for being there solves nothing. Politicians making threats then sending the police is nonsensical.

I honestly hope that last night was the end, I don’t want minority groups to feel threatened. Even as a pagan, I don’t want to see places of worship disrespected in any way. I want criminals of all kinds to be arrested and prosecuted. But I still want anyone and everyone to have the right to protest and demonstrate.

Agree on the latter part but if your seriously saying that 'if the far right are involved' just what type of person do you think make a nazi salute and they weren't fighting because they were threatened pretty much everywhere they have been the ones threatening Muslims and attacking the police..

"Being against fascism isn’t always peaceful and non violent, look at the battle of Cable Street."

Using violence against a political opponent tends to just galvanise them and make more political opponents. See the whole Israel and Gaza issue right now. You call them racists but wed view them as misguided and pissed off people letting anger out at the wrong people.

WW2 was more caused by economic issues after the great depression, and old grievances left unresolved after WW1. To say it was against fascists is just parroting without thinking of the reasons for conflict at the outset of the war.

In Bristol the antifa was made up of pensioners, young people, some hippy types, local business owners, local residents, some students, artists, a good mix of normal people."

I remember on here a cpl of years ago plenty of people saying antifa didn't exist its just an idea yet the op of this thread said antifa were out last nite,how could they be out on the streets if its just an idea?

Threats were made, even the prime minister was on morning tv making threats. I haven’t seen any footage of people making Nazi salutes, perhaps those bits were not shown while I was watching. Either they censored those bits, or I just missed them. I do not condone that kind of behaviour. At all!

All I have been trying to do here is present the fact that there are at least two sides to everything. Perhaps I'm trying too hard to see another side. Maybe I like being the bogeyman on here too much? Had enough now, just want all the violence to stop.

I understand the logic. But at what people are people beyond reasoning with?

By the time they're committing race hate crime, attacking non-white people and setting fire to hotels with kids in them. For me, they aren't going to have anything constructive worth listening to.

I’m not sure if you recall what happened when people sat down and talked with the Nazis in the late 1930s? I mean yes we got a nice piece of paper that the PM showed off on his return but then they went and invaded Poland anyway.

You can say that WWII was caused by economic hardship and I’m sure the Nazis would say they had ‘legitimate concerns’ about the number of Jews in Germany but that’s not really much comfort to the 6 million who were exterminated in concentration camps.

There were people rioting who had swastika tattoos, and others who were doing Nazi salutes. These are not people whose ‘legitimate concerns’ should be listened to. And anyone who shares the same ‘legitimate concerns’ could do with taking a long hard look at themselves.

No, but it's not a stretch to call those with swastika tattoos, giving Hitler salutes, who are participating in race hate riots that.

He seems to think that violence, nazi salutes etc only came from a handful of troublemakers, and he has repeatedly suggested that these people were infiltrators

He seems wedded to the view that the majority of those involved were peaceful centre-right citizens, exercising a peaceful protest.

I've no doubt there were many at the protests who aren't intent on violence but to try and say the majority were peaceful and it was only because the left hand infiltrated them and attacked police etc simultaneously across the country to discredit is complete la la land..

There aren’t two sides to everything though.

There is no “other side of the story” to people trying to attack asylum seekers, assaulting the police, looting, destroying property. There just isn’t. That shit needs to stop.

I’m glad to see you say that you want to see an end to all violence. When you previously repeatedly posted about “consequences” and saying that things would get a lot worse, it was hard not to form the impression that you wanted to see things escalate. I’m glad you have cleared that up.

I’ll be honest, it was more the Hitler salutes, swastika tattoos, attacking places of worship, burning down libraries, and trying to burn down hotels full of refugees that led me to the Nazi conclusion. Rather than not sharing my views; although my views on all of those things I mentioned differ to the people doing them, admittedly.

There are usually at least two sides to most things.

And it's okay to call one of those sides out as mistaken, wrong or evil.

"I thought antifa didn't exist and it was just an idea

In Bristol the antifa was made up of pensioners, young people, some hippy types, local business owners, local residents, some students, artists, a good mix of normal people.

That’s the antifa I know and love.

I know about the ones who dress in black, wear masks and are very aggressive, is there a sliding scale in Antifa, because they do remind me very much of the rioters we saw over the last few days just under a different banner. Reassuring to see equal opportunities on both sides of the centre line.

It’s a little like mirror mirror on the wall, who is the…

Antifa is anyone who is against fascism, last night was a beautiful cross section of the love and hope that antifa represents ❤️

Let’s be honest…there absolutely IS a militant/more extreme element of antifa, as there often is in many movements. But I’d say the sheer number of ordinary folks coming out to stand with their community to try and stop this mindless thuggery was fabulous. I bet those big brave EDL chaps cacked their pants when they saw the Nans Against Nazis - never mess with an angry Nan!

‘People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.’ - George Orwell"

That isn’t the full quote. It ends like this:

‘People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf and NANs.’ - George Orwell

"It was peaceful enough in Brighton, can’t deny it. But there was only about six Enough is Enough protesters. I knew it would be that way, who would want to be arrested and charged as a terrorist? Add to that the risk of being horribly outnumbered! I heard there was about three to four thousand antis.

I worked till 11pm, and spoke to many people. They were talking about what they were going to do to any ‘racists’ who dared to show up, and their intentions were far from friendly. Eventually they had a brass band, so I heard, celebrating some kind of victory.

Cest la vie - For now.

What do you mean “for now”?

I’m hoping this is the end of the far right riots. Are you hoping for a different outcome?

No I am not!

But I am hoping that peaceful demos can be held without so many threats being made. If the ‘far right’ are involved it is because they saw an opportunity. Fight violent threats with violence, they got an in. Then everyone gets tarred with the same brush. People getting arrested just for being there solves nothing. Politicians making threats then sending the police is nonsensical.

I honestly hope that last night was the end, I don’t want minority groups to feel threatened. Even as a pagan, I don’t want to see places of worship disrespected in any way. I want criminals of all kinds to be arrested and prosecuted. But I still want anyone and everyone to have the right to protest and demonstrate.

Agree on the latter part but if your seriously saying that 'if the far right are involved' just what type of person do you think make a nazi salute and they weren't fighting because they were threatened pretty much everywhere they have been the ones threatening Muslims and attacking the police..

Your trying to rewrite what everyone has seen it your not very good at it.."

I know what types of people make nazi salutes, it won't be the same type you know

Defintely the anti Jewish lot (I chose Jewish because that's what it is).

BTW, just a point of note, you've called out 'if the far right are involved'. Didn't you say on another thread 'if he has committed an offence', that's the same thing.

"What was the outcome of the battle of cable street as well? Oh yes, that's right. No political uniforms allowed and clamping down on freedoms.

When people are too stupid or pissed off to sit down and talk their differences through you end up with the situation we have these days.

I’m not sure if you recall what happened when people sat down and talked with the Nazis in the late 1930s? I mean yes we got a nice piece of paper that the PM showed off on his return but then they went and invaded Poland anyway.

You can say that WWII was caused by economic hardship and I’m sure the Nazis would say they had ‘legitimate concerns’ about the number of Jews in Germany but that’s not really much comfort to the 6 million who were exterminated in concentration camps.

There were people rioting who had swastika tattoos, and others who were doing Nazi salutes. These are not people whose ‘legitimate concerns’ should be listened to. And anyone who shares the same ‘legitimate concerns’ could do with taking a long hard look at themselves. ya want take a long hard look at ya self sometimes,someone doesn't share my views there a nazi reeeeeee

I’ll be honest, it was more the Hitler salutes, swastika tattoos, attacking places of worship, burning down libraries, and trying to burn down hotels full of refugees that led me to the Nazi conclusion. Rather than not sharing my views; although my views on all of those things I mentioned differ to the people doing them, admittedly."

When was the last time you saw with your own eyes a person with swastika tattoos, doing hitler salutes burn anything down?

I haven't seen a single person look like that outside of a movie, I'm not saying they don't exist somewhere but are you sure you saw them?

Do you know which group has been attacking places of worship(synagogues) and drawing pro-Nazi symbols recently in the UK and all over Europe recently? It's not the people you think.

Btw there was a group that using loudspeakers shouting "Fuck the jews. Fuck their mothers. R*pe their daughters" and the charges against them were dropped.

I wonder what the "anti-racists" and "anti-fascists" were doing when the literal Nazis are doing these things i the country.

"The desperate attempts to defend racists by folk on here is very telling."

Three phrases come to mind…

The art of being wise is knowing what to ignore

Some bring happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go.

God, grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

Got one blurry image of a heavily tattooed man with a swastika tattoo on his back that is sharper than the rest of the image, is that what we are talking about?

When was the last time you saw with your own eyes a person with swastika tattoos, doing hitler salutes burn anything down?

I haven't seen a single person look like that outside of a movie, I'm not saying they don't exist somewhere but are you sure you saw them?

Have a look at some of the articles and photos from the the riots that occurred at Sunderland the other day.

That’s 10 minutes of my life I won’t get back!

Googled Sunderland riot images and have scrolled through over a hundred images of rioting thugs, no swastika tattoos or hitler salutes, some burning, some questionable fashion sense, as well as hair cuts and gaps where teeth should be, but not 1 of what I was looking for.

"Sunderland riots swastika tattoo" image search. Will get you there.

Do you know which group has been attacking places of worship(synagogues) and drawing pro-Nazi symbols recently in the UK and all over Europe recently? It's not the people you think.

Yes, and? Lots of pro-palestine demonstrations have been know to have Nazis like them. And the attacks on synagogues, drawing pro-Nazi pictures all happened recently after the October 7 attacks.

If you ask 4 or 5 questions, your intentions may be genuine, if you ask questions repeatedly, and your prior questions have been answered, and then turn around and say two sides to everything, then someone is going to ask, are you genuinely curious, or are you doing what Farage and Trump do, by raising your point of pointing out the faults in your opposition, but masking it as a question to hide your true intentions

Surely the truly unpalatable element of this thread and those with similar themes is the trigger for the riots in the first place has been completely overlooked and almost completely forgotten about.

Further the perpetrator of that devastatingly awful crime had not come into this country recently, illegally or on a boat.

Whether at a later date the investigation identifies the culprit as someone with extremist views and influences that will have to be revealed, but as it stands today nobody knows. All this suspicion, division and careless opinion tennis is doing little for a so called developed and sustainable society.

Frankly, regardless of right or left leaning, there should be an extension to the law which prosecutes those seeking to capitalise on others suffering for personal gain and political advantage.

Did the answer the question, I can answer that for you… no they didn’t, in fact they ducked it.

Simple question too, was there people there with swastika tattoos, there was 1 that I can see with it on their back, was there more individuals? I have watched videos as pointed out and I saw no hitler salutes.

So someone is either exaggerating for the effect or I’m not looking in the right place.

Sad thing is it used to be that the flag was associated with NF, EDL thuggery and pissed up football hooligans abroad trashing places in tournaments so the perception was not good etc but that had started to change for the positive till last Monday when it was carried by some amongst us who do not represent what it means to be English..

The St George's Cross has a proud history associated with killing Muslims, Jews and others - specifically in the area now known as Israel/Palestine.

Ironic to see it clashing against a Palestinian flag in England today...

"The desperate attempts to defend racists by folk on here is very telling."

It’s somewhere between sad and scary. There’s a few of them. “Two sides to every story”, “legitimate concerns”, “it was just a few infiltrators”, and outright denials of what we have seen.

If you ask 4 or 5 questions, your intentions may be genuine, if you ask questions repeatedly, and your prior questions have been answered, and then turn around and say two sides to everything, then someone is going to ask, are you genuinely curious, or are you doing what Farage and Trump do, by raising your point of pointing out the faults in your opposition, but masking it as a question to hide your true intentions"

Exactly. Just pretend you’re asking questions and talk a lot about what other people think (Eg vague shit like “people are very worried”), and thinly veiled threats like referring to “consequences”.

Did the answer the question, I can answer that for you… no they didn’t, in fact they ducked it.

Simple question too, was there people there with swastika tattoos, there was 1 that I can see with it on their back, was there more individuals? I have watched videos as pointed out and I saw no hitler salutes.

So someone is either exaggerating for the effect or I’m not looking in the right place.

Either way I have the right to ask questions when people put stuff up in here, that does not make me a supporter of right wing thugs. "

Do you support them or not? Some of your posts come across as you being a bit of a sympathiser ..

"The desperate attempts to defend racists by folk on here is very telling.

It’s somewhere between sad and scary. There’s a few of them. “Two sides to every story”, “legitimate concerns”, “it was just a few infiltrators”, and outright denials of what we have seen. "

These two posts say it better than I managed on the KB thread. There really is a sense of deflection and trying to excuse or defend the inexcusable and indefensible. It’s all getting rather disconcerting. Always been disagreements in the forum but this is starting to feel like boundary pushing and is shedding a different light on some people I thought I “knew”

No one has asked you to prove what's been claimed about Hitler because we've probably all seen it before.

It would appear that people saying the violence is totally wrong is not enough, especially if you mention all violence carried out by all idiots. I have seen comments speculating about possible reasons and have seen people point out differences in how groups are policed, but can't recall anyone actually supporting the crimes committed.

Do you support them or not? Some of your posts come across as you being a bit of a sympathiser .."

Show me a single post where I support far right thugs or rioters.

Let’s be clear, challenging someone’s interpretation of what they claim to have witnessed is not the same as endorsing hate or violence! I’ve questioned the way people describe events, particularly when I haven’t seen evidence to support their claims even after searching exactly what they’ve pointed me to.

Again for clarity, because I think people are led by emotion and not fact, I'm not supporting acts of violence, racism or hate, which is more than evident in the footage of the riots.

I'm questioning the input of the virtual commentary, why should poster x y or z go unchallenged in their claims?

Isn’t it valid to ask how their conclusions are formed, especially when their descriptions are inflammatory and risk escalating the situation or distorting the truth, even though it is online? Our present government does...

Take a close look at what I’m actually questioning. It’s not the condemnation of hate, racism, or violence, but the accuracy of these interpretations like the claims of people giving Hitler salutes or having swastika tattoos. And yet, here we are, with a simple question about what was really seen leading to accusations of me being a far right sympathiser.

To clarify again, I found online one man with a swastika tattoo among the rioters, and no evidence of Hitler salutes. So where are the others? If there were more, why can’t I find them? This entire discussion started because I asked someone to confirm what they claimed to have seen, when my search revealed only one example.

This isn’t about defending the indefensible; it’s about our collective responsibility to uphold the truth. Exaggeration and spreading falsehoods, whether from the far right or far left, only adds fuel to the fire.

We all have a duty to ensure our words reflect reality, not just to win an argument, and I won’t simply agree with someone’s narrative because they believe they are right and then start to throw accusations around like confetti.

Can you genuinely not understand that when discussing something, saying ‘ah but what about this different thing?’ is seen as trying to deflect from the being discussed? I get that maybe what you are doing is trying to score points on the internet but it really looks like you are trying to deflect from the really terrible racist things that really terrible racist people have done.

There are lots of terrible people who do terrible things but if your reaction to terrible people doing terrible things is ‘but these terrible people also do terrible things,’ then maybe you need to take a look at what your priorities are?

I agree some have a consistent view. It boils down to the question of whether the actions of a few means we have to brand the entire protest as far-right extremism. Many people give different answers depending on which protest it is.

Similar thing happened with BLM protests too. I saw comments about how this week's protests have caused damages to businesses and public property. These are the same people who were using ridiculous excuses like "businesses have insurances anyway" when the BLM riots happened and justified damaging public property because apparently their cause is so good.

It looks like Nazi salutes were done in their protests too.

Can we brand the pro-palestine protestors also as far-right extremists please?

They were yes but as was not uncommon by some who supported other teams in the 70s who hated Spurs it was also used as I would strongly suggest that some on the Palestine march did as a means of antagonising the Jewish people.."

So if it's just to antagonise Jewish people, it's not "far right extremists"?

Can you genuinely not understand that when discussing something, saying ‘ah but what about this different thing?’ is seen as trying to deflect from the being discussed? I get that maybe what you are doing is trying to score points on the internet but it really looks like you are trying to deflect from the really terrible racist things that really terrible racist people have done.

There are lots of terrible people who do terrible things but if your reaction to terrible people doing terrible things is ‘but these terrible people also do terrible things,’ then maybe you need to take a look at what your priorities are?

Pointing out hypocrisy is not whataboutery. Lots of people complaining here about far right extremism including you have been doing insane mental gymnastics to justify the horrible shit that has been happening during the Palestine protests.

And yet here you are criticising these protests as far-right extremism. Even worse, calling anyone questioning this as defending far right extremism.

Ok, so we’ve established that scoring points on the internet is your priority. Things make more sense now.

Lmao

Pointing out inconsistencies in your views is called scoring points now?

Are those inconsistencies real or in your head though?

If they aren't real, show me where I am wrong. If you are just going to make meaningless remarks like this, it just looks like you are struggling too hard to justify your cognitive dissonance."

The lack of critical thinking is increasingly evident in this country, as emotional reactions have largely replaced thoughtful analysis in most discussions. The ability to view issues from multiple perspectives has diminished significantly, with the majority of people failing to consider both sides of an argument. This has led to this troubling trend we know have, where individuals feel justified in supporting actions and outcomes that mirror the very behaviours they claim to despise, simply because of their intense aversion to those opposing views.

For example, I can scroll through multiple threads and observe widespread support for ultra aggressive balaclava wearing Antifa members or gangs armed with knives and machetes attacking people in the streets and protests that are clearly racist, violent and singling out innocent communities. This reflects a total lack of balance and further underscores the erosion of rational conversation in favour of reactionary emotionally led outbursts.

"Jewish chronicle, two scum bags in Leicester doing the nazi salute "

Thank you for sharing that. I’ve seen the individual with the tattoo, and while I couldn’t catch everything he was saying in the video, it's clear that he, along with the person filming, are racist. As for the two individuals giving the Nazi salute, there really isn’t much more to add when they clearly demonstrate their ignorance.

It is absolutely shocking that 2 large and angry groups of people, project their hate towards the Jewish communities with their actions. what a time to be Jewish.....

"If I didn’t want to look like I was attempting to deflect criticism from racist, far right rioters then I would simply not write stuff that made it look like I was trying to deflect criticism from racist, far right rioters."
almost all the rioters where thick young kids looking for excitement and probably never even heard the term far right just because starmer came out with that doesn’t mean it’s true I’d love to know how many actually where far right supporters I’d say about 5% ppl need to get a grip

95% of those participating in race hate themed riots. Who were attacking non-white people, attacking mosques, attacking hotels housing asylum seekers (including housing kids), shouting racist slogans. We're in fact not racist.

Amazing.

Where did you get the 95% number from? What method did you use? Can you apply the same method on the Palestinian protests too?

The other poster say 5% were far right. Which leaves 95% not. Although I see I did write "racist" instead of far right. But in this specific set of riots, I guess you can use them interchangably.

Again, it looks like you are making lots of assumptions here. Is wanting to reduce immigration same as being far-right or is it racist?

They were making Nazi salutes and antisemetic slogans. I was wondering if you have time to criticise those far-right racist Nazi morons.

Sure. Make a list of everyone you want me to criticise prior to being able to discuss these current events.
