Probably THE most important thread I’ve read in terms of how we must respond as communities, as leaders, and as white folks. Bookmark it. Print it off. Pin it on your wall. Refer back to it. Often.
A 🧵Question: Why do the British labour and @TUCEquality movements almost exclusively fund @SWP or @hopenothate led anti racism? Answer : These are white led anti racist movements. There is no interest or support on the left for independent Black and Asian led anti racism.

But what happens after that? What happens to the three young people apart from incarceration? How do we stop the spread and rise of fascism? Punitive measures won't solve this.
Six people,three under 16 will be in court today charged with violent disorder, assault and public order following protests across Greater Manchester.

I'm not even sure if 'defeat' is the right word for us to focus on/use. There is much work to do, as there has always been. So please don't think that because the Fascists didn't turn out last night that this is over, because, sadly, it's not. Keep going. And then keep going.

@saeedatcha I am so sorry that your young person has had this experience today, Saeed. Many of those not directly affected have no understanding of the fear and upheaval being experienced by so many at the moment. In solidarity x
