It's crazy. This is the first time they've been united and that's a wildcard. The tactics they use to stop protests elsewhere won't work, they can't label the paramilitaries as far right. There's towns with union jack flags everywhere, red white and blue painted on every pavement stone and I can't imagine a mosque being erected in one because they're always fighting for their identity as British or Irish and won't let anything erode that.

I don't want to be anywhere near this shit.

I voted for my human rights instead of letting fear of immigration push me to vote for fascism. Governments manufacture crisis to take away your rights and that's what the Tories would have done. The immigration problem will sort itself out, the riots are inevitable and I saw it coming that catholics and protestants would unite here.

The immigrants are not leaving.

If the Tories had won there wouldn't be riots here now, people would have faith that they would eventually do something about it.

What's better?
1. A far-right government, fewer rights, no action against immigration as you wait for the government to do something about it. Said government may be liars or incompetent.
2. Liberal government, retain your rights, very angry protesters and escalating violence towards immigrants.

It's interesting that they're targeting Muslims in particular. One of their supermarkets was burnt out and an Arabic cafe but not the African supermarket.
