In totally coincidental other news our local flag shaggers “Sussex Patriots” have entirely vanished off Facebook and gone completely silent on all other platforms for the last month… 👀

I guess they must be busy.

This doesn’t work bc the far-right have already called demos outside asylum hotels in response to the attack, even though the attackers were British.

…Which of course shows their real agenda - the attackers arent *really* British.

And it’s nice that Doing Peace is the thing he’s competing over I spose.

Be grateful for small mercies.
