From the Guardian:

"In Brighton, a very small group of right-wing protesters are facing down hundreds of counter-protesters outside a law office designated as one of the targets on a list circulated on social media. The counter protesters are chanting “Fascist scum, off our streets”, and “refugees are welcome here”, receiving some hoots of support from passing traffic. A person in the building across the road has just put up a sign in its window reading “Fuck off fascists”.

The police have encircled the right-wing protesters for their own protection, and are closing down the street."

    same in Newcastle. Hundreds out with flags and signs. A festival atmosphere.
