Ryan based in Netherton was in attendance yesterday and while on probation thought it was great idea to throw up a nazi salute
Ryan was soon after arrested at the protest 🤡

Seconds later Nick Tenconi was quick to leave to scene, he was quickly escorted by a panicked "security team". This involved Patriots of Britain founder Ben Lawrence and Sam Westlake. Ben is known to carry a blade to protests while Sam has been pictured using a belt as a weapon at some rallies.

Brett does security jobs previously for firms like G4S. He was last known to be working for P.P.S Security so if anyone would like to get in touch and see if they still have a nazi pedophile working for them feel free to do so here

The number of fascists in the kettle slowly depleted until eventually the counter burst into cheers, clapped, and then everyone went on our way.

Well done Manchester! Yesterday we well and truely said, "¡No Pasarán!"

Users of Piccadilly Gardens bus station quickly began to join the antifascist crowd against UKIP in pushing them (and the police with them) against the wall of Blank Street Coffee.

By the time the march arrived at the bus station, the larger counter was able to move to reinforce the small group, who then quickly used the landscape to run back in front of the UKIP march in much larger numbers.

By the time UKIP's march began, Teleconi and friends looked visibly frustrated. A separate small spontaneous counter formed in front of their march, preventing any real visibility of their banner and significantly slowing them.

As Tenconi moved to march, the main antifascist counter attempted to move towards St Peter's Square and prevent UKIP from marching. This failed as police blocked Portland Street. Fortunately this had the side effect of delaying the UKIP march.

Unusually, Nick Tenconi remained at St Peter's Square long after the supposed start time for his own rally, with the confused UKIP demo attendees eventually joining back at the end of the PAG rally.

Despite arriving an hour early, Billy Howarth's PAG rally began their speeches (that nobody could hear) 40 minutes late. This resulted in those planning to attend both far-right demonstrations walking back and forth between the two locations.

Greater Manchester Police were also identified to have made threats of intent to discharge PAVA spray (with a potential non-targeted discharge) towards the counter-protest.

Police strategy was poor and officers were seen to be scrambling to identify their decision makers. Counter-protesters reported use of batons to maintain kettles, officers groping breasts on multiple occasions as well as punching and grabbing necks.

Despite what their social media posts would lead you to believe, Tenconi spent his demonstration sulking because his violent entourage from London did not prove popular with the wider local public.
