Having a rare moment of pride about (some of) my country right now. Since last weekend England (and also Belfast) has been going insane with racist and islamophobic rioting, and another explosion of disorder was expected last night, but instead cities were flooded with counter-protestors forming shields around potential targets and barely any rioters showed up almost everywhere.

Rare british W.

#the government's response has been rapid and harsh as well #even in the midst of a crisis where prison capacity has been running out #but disclaimer: i'm white and not in affected areas and institutionalised police racism is still a thing here #i'm just glad to see people show up for their communities and prove we aren't 100% lost to bigotry #though the fact the riots happened at all is still terrifying #at least it's started conversations about holding far-right misinformation peddlers on social media to account though #.txt #uk politics #racism cw #islamophobia cw #(also i still want this to primarily be a fandom blog; i just didn't want to be silent on something so huge)
