Counter-protests are taking place in several cities against the UK to prevent violent attacks on several locations shared by far-right groups on social media. Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen was at a law firm in Rotherham, one of the reported targets. “Protesters have gathered and police is also blocking the road to the law firm to make sure that no one can get through,” Vaessen said. “So far we haven’t seen any far-right protesters coming, but there’s a lot of anxiety and people are worried about what could happen tonight.”

    The battle between people who love peace, intellect and have a job, against people who are racist, like violence and are easily fooled 🤣

    British people instead of protesting hooligan males hold a mass funeral procession in memory of the three girls now dead. Would not that be a more powerful statement demonstrated by British people?

    I only see Bangladesh 🇧🇩 and Palestinian flag 🇵🇸, tells you everything you need to know, not a single British flag in sight.

    Look at the difference between far right and the protest against them. Like a kids playground compared to a nursing home

    This is what true patriots are fighting for their kids

    This racism protest between Tories vs Labour. Most MPs in Labour party were Pakistanis. They called far right vs left, as they don't want to call it a Civil War between Tories vs Labour.
