A big reason for the small turnouts of < 300 is the reputation of those protesting for extremism, being up for violence, and being overtly racist This is esp reflected in the absence of any large protests + any disorder in 30 locations that saw riots in 2024, which the media has mostly not noticed

It is clearly the case that asylum protests were smaller this weekend than the small over-hyped protests on August 8th, and smaller than in the second half of July. No broadcast outlet has accurately conveyed that + asked why: they have explicitly stated and inferred growing protests

Why do you think there is this uniform and shallow coverage of this non-uprising by 'concerned citizens?' Maybe Guardian & Newsnight maybe better, but it's a uniform approach of over-emphasising, well, almost anything. I don't believe in conspiracies but surely a concerted effort by reactionaries.

More a trickle of patchy protests than the "wave" 800-1000 people across 8 protests on Friday, with 250 in Cheshunt but mostly < 100 Perhaps up to 2000 people across a dozen small protests across Saturday, with 300 turning out in Mold, Wale Larger counter-protests up to half of the time.

A reminder that treating Russian territorial gains as an inevitable outcome is a Kremlin talking point. Since 2014, the Kremlin has pushed this idea that Russia is so powerful and giving up some land is better than giving it all up. It doesn't lead to peace, it leads to pause-and-push land grabs.
