Actually - that's all he's always wanted. To just Blog.
Thousands of anti-racism protesters gathered across England and formed human shields to protect asylum centres after police warned of unrest from more than 100 far right-led rallies.
Holding placards saying “refugees welcome” and “reject racism, try therapy”, people took to the streets in towns and cities nine days after the country was shaken by repeated riots following the murders of three girls in Merseyside. But there was little sign of the unrest seen over the past week.
The rallying cry of “¡No pasarán!” – “They shall not pass!” – once shouted on the streets of Madrid against fascist forces, has found new life in the hearts and voices of Britain’s people. As communities across the nation gathered in a powerful show of solidarity, they sent a clear message: not in our name will hatred and division reign.
In a twist of irony that would make Orwell proud, it was not the heavy-handed tactics of the state that quelled the threatened violence. Despite Prime Minister Starmer’s ominous promises of authoritarian crackdowns and erosion of civil liberties, it was the collective action of thousands that truly stemmed the tide of unrest.
While the new Labour government postured with hard-line rhetoric and threats to our freedoms, it was ordinary citizens who took to the streets in peaceful protest. Their weapons were not batons or tear gas, but placards of welcome and human chains of protection. In the face of warned far-right violence, these brave individuals showed that the true strength of a nation lies not in its ability to suppress, but in its capacity to unite.
This grassroots mobilisation stands as a powerful rebuke to those who would govern through fear and division. It demonstrates that when people come together in solidarity, they can achieve what no amount of police presence or draconian laws can: a genuine peace built on understanding and common humanity.
As dawn broke on a day many feared would descend into chaos, Britain instead witnessed a triumph of community over conflict, of hope over hate.
The people had spoken, and their message rang clear across the land: No pasarán. They shall not pass.
