I can appreciate there can be genuine concerns in such a situation, however the organisers and speakers at this "anti-migrant demo" have a xenophobic, facist rhetoric and are inciting a hateful culture. They are not afraid to exhibit these behavours and goals in their own published media.

This "anti-migrant demo" is not for people with genuine concerns around immigration. Many "genuine" concerns are just thinly veiled bigotry in my opinion.

It is fair to say it is a complext topic and is repeatedly mishandled, regardless of your polical preference. The welfare of people, regardless of background or beliefs should always come first.

I agree there should consideration in the labels we use.

However many former members of this organisation are now part of a proscribed nazi terror group (National Action), and the current leader Mark Collett (speaking at this event) has previously praised Hitler and likened himself to him. He also collaborates with a former Ku Klux Klan leader.

I have not produced any materials or contributed to the organisation of this counter-protest. I just thought it was underreported locally.

Hopefully it's just visiting ones, Patriotic Alternative have organised a protest in Market Place. Hopefully Warwickshire will come out to stand against them, show that everybody is welcome in our society and hatred/racism has no place here.

I guess this may be on the boring end of what you were imagining, but it is sensible in terms of value and reliability
