Racist bile being distributed in Trimdon, Co Durham today, with “highlights” from For Britain’s 2020 Manifesto, apparently. 🙄 We suspect Anna Maria Waters (For Britain leader & living in nearby Hartlepool) is responsible.

Solidarity to Adriana @adrisalazar_asm. No one should have to put up with this kind of racism going about their business in our communities & shops. The response from Lidl management is worrying. We hope & expect that @LidlGB deal with this swiftly.

Stunning mural unveiled in Darlington today of the first professional black footballer, Arthur Wharton. Born in Ghana on Oct 28, 1865, Arthur came to Darlington as a 19-year-old to train to be a missionary & ended up in goal, beginning a historic career: https://t.co/yL5QeprDz5

Arthur Wharton (28 October 1865 – 13 December 1930), the world’s first black professional footballer. Born in Jamestown, Gold Coast (now Accra, Ghana), Arthur started his amateur career at Darlington, playing in goal. #BlackHistoryMonth

[England Football @EnglandFootball]

Today we remember Arthur Wharton, the world's first Black professional footballer, who was born on this day in 1865.

A statue honouring Wharton was unveiled at St. George’s Park – the home of our @England teams – in October 2014.

[thread] When our opponents talk about socialism, they either talk about it as though it is some sort of utopian, fantasy idea that can never happen or a dangerous alternative to what we have right now. I just don’t connect with that view at all. (1/8) #GV6 #GrassrootsVoice

Anti-racism campaigners in County Durham are urging @BorisJohnson to suspend a Tory MP and launch an “urgent investigation” as pictures are revealed showing @DehennaDavison with two far-right activists. https://t.co/oB1MwoZyIA

More from #TommyRobinson’s EU campaign. In Warrington, supporters of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, having just watched him get milkshaked, chant his made up name & proceed to assault anyone in their way.

[CoDurham AntiRacists @Durham_ARC]

After ‘Tommy Robinson’ was showered with milkshake, his thugs decided to go on the rampage in Warrington. Welcome to the EU election campaign, Yaxley-Lennon style. https://t.co/KlywfIX4ut

Beyond parody. Yellow Vests North East (aka The Neon Nazis) play Les Miserables on the loud speakers in Durham Market Place today. The Gilets Jaunes should sue. 😂 #NoShame #NoPasaran

[CoDurham AntiRacists @Durham_ARC]

@murdo_fraser Many of those present were well known far-right neo-nazis, some with convictions for violent disorder. They’re thugs who are desperate for attention & completely delusional in that they seem to think they’re part of some “movement”. Probably not a good look to encourage that tbf.
