Full on roaming EDL gangs. Pretty insane stuff. This article doesn’t do it justice. Most of the footage I’ve seen has been on Instagram.
The craziest part is they started in response to a misogynist terror attack in Southport. The suspect of the terror attack was Welsh born, with parents from Rwanda, and is most likely Christian. So naturally they started lynching Muslims.
EDIT: This next part is dubious.
Apparently before it all kicked off there was a russian clickfarm that posted a fake article calling the suspect ‘Ali Muhammad’ or some sort of very stereotypical islamic name, before all the real information had come out.
I mean, not that you can really blame it all on that. It was just a fuse waiting to be lit.

It’s not Russia. This is libshit misdirection.
Tommy Robinson and his goons are taking money from Israel. This is happening because Britain is majority pro-palestine and Israel sees British muslims as responsible for that.
Yeah, it’s obviously not state directed or affiliated. I was skeptical of the claims, but I just assumed it was general clickfarmery for money like most other ‘russian disinfo’ stories.
Turns out that’s also dubious. https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024-08-02/did-russian-disinformation-fuel-the-southport-protests/
Never knew that about Tommy though. Fucking nuts.
