I was at the anti racist demo in Falkirk today. We were heavily outnumbered. Decent people need to face down racism. They are becoming more emboldened, aided by a supine govt. and a msm only interested in clicks. #StopRacism

Thank you for going to this. I lived in Falkirk for many years,. Am so disappointed & angry at the latest ugly turn. You're completely right.... People - we - do need to face down racism.

Sorry Dave, should have been there. How many of them?

Around 1000 of them and 250 of us. Nazi salutes, racist chants, missiles, banners declaring "kill them all". Reform councillor, the OO, right wing groups, the usual idiots, the full gamut. Don't know the backstory but we need to be more organised.

Fucking hell, that's a lot. Falkirk is a hill for them to die on?

Aye it was rough, although worth saying Falkirk is dead easy to get to. Right wingers were pouring in from all over and they’d been planning for weeks
