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.

Of fucking course they will blame “Russian disinformation” instead of centuries of rampant racism in UK. Also i’m hoping you didn’t spend last 2,5 year under a rock and noticed that “Russian disinformation” is the current western explanation for literally everything bad happening, it’s on the level of “devil’s work” from the past.
