A heartbreaking reddit thread seeking advice after a bunch of "children" tried to destroy a wargames club. A truly awful situation for the gamers involved.

Over the past week we have seen social media users spreading rumours and speculation about far-right protests - sharing unattributed screenshots of callouts, or even just forwarded messages - without any corroborating evidence that the purported threat amounts to anything.

It is custom to joyfully chant "Allah hu Akbar" on our hikes. It's a call to remember the greatness of God, and simply translates to "God is the greatest". It's time we educate against fear-mongering. #Islamophobia #Racism #UKRiots

These riots started in Parliament. Rioters chant “stop the boats” and “we want our country back” - using language from politicians across the political spectrum. It’s not enough to call out violence, politicians need to stop normalising hate. In policy and practice.

Pubgoers embrace Muslims defending their community in Accrington. This is the way forward. Unity. The racist thugs are in the minority.

White supremacy is insatiable. Structures of socio-economic and health disparity aren't enough - they must call you slurs. Slurs aren't enough they must physically attack you. Attacking you isn't enough they must kill you. Death isn't enough they must desecrate your grave.

.@BBC insisting on reporting racist rioters as 'protestors' and 'demonstrators' is a gross misrepresentation of the violence impacting communities of colour across the UK. Language matters.
“Protests”. You keep saying “protests” @BBCNews - do you mean white supremacists are on the streets terrorising Muslims? What exactly are they “protesting” against?

To re-open 3 miles of track to Portishead, the local council had to complete a 79,187 page long planning application. If printed out, that's 14.6 miles of paper (4 1/2 times the line itself!). Then they had to wait 3 years for approval. Yet now this project may be scrapped.đź§µ

Remember those words scrawled on the wall – "FUCK PAKIS" – whenever a pundit or a journalist tries to make out that this is all a misguided expression of legitimate concerns about immigration.
Aftermath of violence in Tamworth shows how a mob smashed their way into a hotel used by asylum seekers, tried to set fire to it with them and staff inside. Petrol bombs, fireworks, bricks and other missiles were thrown at police. The building is covered in racist graffiti. @GMB

Scientists think we could be just years away from finally discovering the opposite of "anti-fascist".
