Violent Southport protests reveal organising tactics of the far-right

So how did the protests - starting in Southport and spreading to London, Hartlepool, Manchester and Aldershot - begin?

Merseyside Police have publicly identified the English Defence League (EDL) as a key factor.

While there are people who describe themselves as EDL supporters, the organisation ceased to exist in any formal sense after its founder, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - who uses the alias Tommy Robinson - focused on spreading his message on social media platforms, where he has a sizeable following.

But its core ideas - in particular an opposition to illegal immigration, mixed with indiscriminate and racist claims about Muslims - are very much alive, and loudly and widely spread among sympathisers online.

Thrown into this mix are tropes from conspiracy theories that “elites” are somehow covering up the truth - including the abuse of British children.

An influencer on X associated with Yaxley-Lennon, who posts under the name of “Lord Simon”, was among the first to publicly call for nationwide protests. His account promoted false claims that the alleged Southport attacker had been an asylum seeker, recently arrived in the UK by boat. His video has been viewed over a million times.

“We have to hit the streets. We have to make a huge impact all around the country. Every city needs to go up everywhere,” he said.

So, if you protest your children being slaughtered you are “far right.”

Yeah, and if you have an account on FreeRepublic too.

The British Prime Minister has announced that the Muslims and all the mosques will be protected at all costs against the far right thugs which are basically any British natives complaining about being over run by third World animals.

Same deal is going down in Ireland.

They are saying Britain is on the brink of civil war and who can blame them?

If our election goes the wrong way we will likely be in civil war.

Open borders are the policies of the Marxist Left.

The far left is now actively infiltrating the so-called far right in order to goad them into taking the heat for civil disruption. The left intends to step to power in the resulting chaos and destruction.
