The far right has clung to the narrative that anti-migrant protests and mass flag operations are being run by everyday Brits, consisting of ‘concerned parents’ and mild-mannered patriots. Protesters claim they oppose immigration due to the supposed increase in crime which comes from allowing people seeking asylum into the community; they are not racist, they are simply concerned about local people.

However, HOPE not hate can reveal that many of the individuals leading anti-migrant movements possess their own criminal records and are perfectly comfortable with threatening or enacting violence on locals who disagree with their views. Organisers of Operation Raise the Colours have quickly shown their true intentions in a flurry of racist abuse and property damage. Clearly, criminality only worries these ‘local residents’ when the perpetrator is not white.

Shame that the mainstream broadcasters and press continue to mislead by refusing to call these far-right protests (and refuse to define what far-right is just to mislead a little more). Maybe white supremicist neo-nazi is a better term.

Yeap, saw this on Saturday when a woman wrapped in a flag after the march spat her drink all over two men on a train. Funnily enough the men just happened to have dark skin. Not about racism at all.
