Norwich locals stood between the Brook Hotel and the miserable sods who came to yell at the people living there. Some vile stuff shouted at the hotel and us, but no violence. F# got drunk and hobby, but as always, failed #RefugeesAreWelcomeHere #Norwich

Saturday July 1st, midday onwards. Brook Hotel Barnard Road NR5 9JB In support of the refugees in the hotel. Far-right group “East Anglian Patriots” plans to protest- They claim that “Norwich says no” to refugees. Come say yes to refugees and help us form a buffer!

Excellent in Ipswich today. Big welcome for refugees and very much the opposite for the meagre turnout of far right protestors. Well done to everyone involved in jeering the fascists off, and for showing so much love to the residents ✊🏼 #RefugeesAreWelcomeHere #NoPasarán

CW: transphobia, fascism This is a call for genocide, the programme of which is already in process in the US - at stage 8 of 10 'Persecution'. In the UK we are at stage six, 'Polarisation'. Allies, please stand up.

Michael Knowles tells CPAC that "there can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. ... Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely."

Please read and share this research. Far right activity is increasing - not news to most of us - and it's useful to have that information ready to share. hopenothate.org.uk/2023/02/2…

Sharing from and in solidarity with our community in Ipswich.

Solidarity with our community in Norwich and beyond. We are dealing with the latest attempt by the Tories (unopposed by Labour in Eng) to use trans people as targets and ammo in a culture war. Both parties are reaching for the tools of the far right. Fuck them. We will prevail

Don't know what to say. #ClubQ was attacked to coincide with Trans Day of Remembrance by an individual, but merely a claw on the cat that is right wing media, politics, & religion. They hate queer folk & advocate for our denial and deaths. Stochastic terrorism leads here. (1/3)

With grief and rage and love we send solidarity to those affected in the community in Colorado Springs, wish healing to the injured & justice to the siblings we have lost. Reports indicate it was not police (no surprise) that subdued the gunman but people at Club Q. (2/3)

We were proud to be able to support the march ahead of #TransDayofRemembrance2022 organised by @GrowingLtd & @ketts_rebellion. Attendees gathered & spent time in contemplation of memorial stones to those that have been taken from us, before beginning the short march (1/4)

from Chapelfield Gardens to City Hall. The community showing was tremendous, with people from many organisations coming together in solidarity. There was no showing from the usual handful of local anti-LGBT+ agitators, who were away & busy being vile about immigrants (2/4)

All to their own choices, but it seems advisable to avoid this kind of organising.
