'Unite the right' protesters are outnumbered by counter-demonstrators

Far-right demonstrators who gathered around the country today to 'Unite the Kingdom' - a slogan used by fascist Tommy Robinson - were hugely outnumbered by counter-demonstrators in London's Trafalgar Square. 

According to campaign group Stand Up To Racism, only five far right protestors showed up in central London today, compared to the 300 counter-demonstrators who gathered to oppose the anti-migrant group.

In an Instagram post by Stand Up to Racism, the organisation shared a video showing crowds of anti-fascist demonstrator gathered round Trafalgar Square holding banners with the slogan 'Refugees Welcome' and 'Stop the Far Right'. 

The caption to the video says: 'Outnumbering a tiny group of fascists in London'.  

Stand Up To Racism had urged its supporters via its website and social media to 'stop the far right' ahead of the gathering organised by a fascist group in Trafalgar Square on Saturday midday. 

Counter-protests were also organised across the country, including places like Ipswich, Derby, Leeds, Rotherham, Nottingham and Manchester. 

It comes after thousands of ant-racists protesters outnumbered far-right antagonists on the streets of Britain in a show of love over hate last month in the wake of violent riots across the country when anti-immigration protestors attacked the homes and businesses of migrants.

Far-right protests fizzle out as thousands of ordinary Brits silence the rioting thugs

Thugs had been using now-banned channels on the app to threaten the lives of anti-racism campaigners, make sick slurs and exchange tips on how to 'hood up'. 

Around 100 hate-fuelled protests were planned across the country on August 7, many of which were planned in now-deleted far-right groups on apps such as Telegram, with police deployed in their biggest mobilisation of resources since the 2011 riots. 

But their promises to turn up at immigration centres at 8pm vanished into thin air when the hate mobs were seemingly cowed by a swell of up to 25,000 anti-racist activists who turned out in force in cities across the UK - and by drizzly weather that hit southern parts of England on Wednesday night.

Counter-protesters turned out in their thousands in several UK cities - outnumbering 'anti-immigration' protesters when they bothered to turn up - in order to send the clear message that Britain does not welcome hate.
