I don’t know shit about politics. All I know is that in the UK the Labour party won, and the Conservative party lost.

I read some protestors are protesting against racism. What is this about? Protesting against new party that just won? I thought the Labour party was left-wing, meaning they are more on the social-equality side? I’m lost.

    Something to add to this.

    The people protesting against racism are counter-protesters. They are showing up to protest against the far right who are in turn protesting against migrants.

    In the past couple of days they have been out-numbering the far right protesters by at least an order of magnitude, and a lot of the expected riots have been averted.

      Outnumber a fascist ten to one and he tends to remember his manners.

        Only if one of the tens punches him in the goddamn mouth every time he speaks.
