Newcastle says no to fascism.
The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

Intrigued to see a group of young men in green wellies and gilets in the pub last night - a long way from Westminster (near the Inns of Court and not far from the City of London), all of whom had public school accents. Minimum wage farmers? Or sons of wealthy landowners protecting their privilege?
