Protests in Manchester have turned to trouble in only a few minutes with one man arrested for a public order offence, as tinderbox Britain braces for further devastation.
More than 35 ‘Enough is Enough’ demonstrations were scheduled across the UK this weekend, with several counter-protests by groups such as Unite Against Fascism and Stand Up to Racism also set to take place.
Today, 24 rallies were expected – 22 of which were Enough is Enough protests, one an anti-racist protest and one was said to be a peaceful vigil.
Hundreds of protesters on both sides of railings set up to separate them could be seen in Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens at 9.30 this morning.
There was a heavy police presence in place, with officers swiftly intervening and detaining one man after a verbal altercation, with chants of ‘Nazi scum off our streets’ heard from the masses.
Across-the-board disorder has ripped through the country this week in the wake of the Southport stabbings, where three little girls were tragically killed.
The riots in cities including London, Hartlepool and Manchester are thought to have been triggered by misinformation circulated online as to the identity of the teenager suspected of killing Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine.
Axel Rudakubana, 17, who was born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents, was finally named as the suspect in a bid to stop the chaos.
Southport locals – including Elsie’s mother – have desperately pleaded for the violence to stop to no avail.
The Enough is Enough demonstrations have seen members of the far right among the protesters including one man with a swastika tattoo.
Pictures show people holding signs reading ‘no to racism, no to fascism’ signs in the counter-protest in Manchester, where an estimated 500 people had turned up.
There are chants of ‘Tommy Robinson’ heard from the protesting group – calculated to have about 150 activists – and ‘whose streets? our streets’ from the counter side, of about 350 people.
Others show people with hoods up and masks covering their faces – except for one man who posed for the camera as he was detained by the police.
There is also a scattering of protesters in front of Portsmouth’s Guildhall after the Enough is Enough protest kicked off at 10 am.
At 11 am, Manchester Police put a Section 34 dispersal order in place for the city centre for today.
Why are these demonstrations considered far right? These protests are mainly ordinary people who have had enough of poor government and poor policing as well as soft justice.
We are now living in a civilisation that is controlled by the internet and TV media, and protestors are now having to take immediate steps to protect their country. This could be dealt with in a second by expelling millions of migrants who now inhabit our British soil.
These are hard-working, ordinary people who are concerned. Concerned about the safety of their children and their elderly.
Keir Starmer, I hope you’re listening now because the silent majority is now gradually waking up. We’ve also had enough of the lies from our government. It’s all lies, lies, lies and people are just sick to the back teeth of it!
Message to our government – stop importing immigrants and the riots will stop, it really isn’t that difficult to comprehend.
Of course, brutality isn’t the solution, but it just illustrates how desperate and let down people feel by our government. Everyone who criticises or doesn’t agree with migrant policy is labelled a bad person, and that makes people extremely frustrated.
