A very different atmosphere at the #NewcastleProtests today compared to the recent #MiddlesbroughRiots #SunderlandRiots & #HartlepoolRiots 📺 Watch below ⬇️ @northumbriapol, joined by other forces, formed lines either side of Grainger Street, ensuring hundreds of anti-racism/anti-fascist protesters remained on Newgate Street & no more than 100 anti-immigration protesters remained at the Bigg Market. Anti-immigration protesters distanced themselves from the #FarRight & rioters, saying they’re being “tarred with the same brush”, but just wanted a #peacefulprotest about #immigration they say is out of control, claiming “nobody is listening” to them. Anti-racism protesters say they were standing up to #racism & didn’t want riots in the city, with one man saying “unity is what counts” & that everyone needs to “reach out” to the anti-immigration protesters to open up a peaceful discussion. Some arrests were made, including a man with a hammer & another man wearing a latex mask, but it appears the swift court sentencing, along with a robust police operation today, helped to keep the peace in #Newcastle.

“This is our way of life that’s at stake.” That way of life presumably being smashing windows, setting cars alight, attacking mosques and asylum seeker accommodation. #FarRightThugs #MiddlesbroughRiots https://t.co/WguUwThdck

Absolute carnage during the #MiddlesbroughRiots today, where we saw violence from both sides. First - we saw cars and bins set on fire, windows at the courts, town hall, Mima & Teesside Uni smashed up by the rioters. They went street by street in the residential areas when failing to break police lines near the mosques, smashing windows of cars & people’s homes. We saw them then throw glass bottles at people in the street. Then we witnessed a gang of masked males, apparently seeking retribution against the rioters, beating up men on Linthorpe Road - I assume who they thought must be rioters. One gang of 8/9 walked by us, armed with wooden planks & sharp weapons. With the police nowhere to be seen in many parts of #Middlesbrough we were then stopped & asked if we were “EDL” by one group & had to show our press passes to avoid any upset. It didn’t feel safe to be there, so we pulled out and heard some of our colleagues also pulled out after having cameras smashed. #UKRiots in #Boro Before all that happened, we filed this report for @itvtynetees earlier:

UK RIOTS: A Muslim Community, who were minding their own business and completely not bothering anybody whatsoever, trying to defend themselves from attacks by Far-Right Extremists on Parliament Road in Middlesbrough. #UKRiots #Middlesbrough #MiddlesbroughRiots #ParliamentRoad

Snowflake rioters not wanting to be filmed. Aww, bless their cotton socks. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. #Bristol #BristolRiots #Middlesbrough #MiddlesbroughRiots #Rotherham #RotherhamRiots #EnoughIsEnough
