Ok, it's a bad screenshot. It's from a video an old colleague, Eddie Mitchell, from the Brighton Argus took today.
Brighton was earmarked tonight with a few other places for the right wing horrors who have been creating so much misery to protest in.
Thing is, Brighton is one of the kindest, most tolerant places to live. When I saw the video tonight, my heart sang. Absolutely hundreds of counter-protesters took to the streets of Brighton, and in this picture is actually 5 right-wing racists being protected by the police. Two-tier policing eh?! Surrounding the police and nutters was loads of folk chanting 'get off our streets, nazi scum'.
Honestly, am so proud of Brightonians and am hoping that finally this may be the beginning of the end of these absolute revolting excuses of human beings.
Forgive me if I have forgotten, but obviously you are from Brighton (not America)! I too was delighted to see the anti-fascist marches in Brighton and gave me a great feeling of hope. It is my second city! We have a flat in the marina where my oldest son and his family live! My cousin is also in Brighton and as a result we visit often! One day we will have to meet!
@marshwader Ooh, yes I think I remember us talking about the B'ton connection. Love a meet up but moved away from there 25 years ago, last time I visited was 12 years ago, sadly. Makes me sad going back as wish I'd never moved away!
