Getting Through the Days: Day 82 The Far-Right

Notes for new readers - as this is a diary the first entry is the last, so you get to know 'who done it' before the crime is committed! This is a pain but can't be helped. After a week of entries the scrolling will stop and if you want to venture further click on 'OLDER POSTS' and read until you get to the first entry 'The Day Before Day 1

Spent five hours on the scrubs tops today. I am knackered but I have nearly finished them and plan to take them to Llantwit tomorrow.
Cowbridge Rotary is having this year's Handover on Zoom. I have asked to be included. The pre Handover meal is to be a take-away from the Sycamore in Colwinston. Should be fun.
Done nothing else all day except taken Jasper for his constitutional and watched a bit of TV this evening. (Inspector Alleyn Mysteries). Oh, and this blog of course which takes me nearly an hour. Sometimes longer as the platform that I use - Blogger, is unreliable. You may have noticed variation in font size etc and unscheduled gaps between items. I try to correct them but the system is perverse and does its own thing.

Efforts are being made to head off the possibility of clashes between Black Lives Matters activists and far-right demonstrators in London this Saturday, as anti-racism activists gear up for another weekend of protests.

Black Lives Matters organisers said they had decided to call off a planned protest at Hyde Park at 1pm on Saturday, warning that “many hate groups” were threatening the safety of those planning to come.

“We want the protests to be a safe space for people to attend,” a post from the BLM LDN organisers said. “However, we don’t think it will be possible with people like them present.”

Far-right groups, with the support of extremists such as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who calls himself Tommy Robinson, plan to hold a “defend our memorials” event at Winston Churchill’s statue on Parliament Square, where considerable numbers could be present.

The extremists claim they intend to prevent the landmarks from being targeted after Churchill’s statue was daubed with graffiti describing the wartime prime minister as a racist on Sunday.

There are fears among anti-racist campaigners that marauding gangs of hooligans will seek out BLM protesters around London with the intention of confronting them.
