Stand Up To Racism have organised a lot of protests against the Nazi rioters on British streets. Handy list, here, though it by no means covers all the planned riots.

    Meanwhile:

    "Across the country, hundreds have gathered to counter the more than 100 far-right rallies planned at immigration centres, lawyers’ office and charities.

    Huge numbers have shown up in Bristol following a clash over the weekend between anti-immigration protesters, counter-protesters and police.

    In Liverpool, hundreds formed a human shield around a church targeted for its immigration advice centre. About 200 counter-protesters gathered in Birmingham, chanting “Fascist scum out of Brum”.

    In Brighton, the few anti-immigration protesters gathered outside a law office were so outnumbered by counter-protesters that the police there surrounded the anti-immigration protesters for their protection. With the exception of a small fight that broke out earlier on Queens Road, the counter-protest had the atmosphere of a street carnival, with a samba band playing and people loudly singing.

    Meanwhile, in Walthamstow in east London, crowds of anti-racist protesters amassed in the streets, holding signs reading “EDL (English Defence League) Not Welcome in Walthamstow” and “No Room for Racism”.

      Have to say. Been a while since I’ve felt impressed by the British public.
