After the Southport stabbings many protests were planned around the UK. I went to the one in Hull organised by John Francis Gillings of the Hull Patriotic Protestors and United Hull. Gillings has links with far right groups Hull United and Patriot Alternative. I first saw the protest advertised by ActivePatriot aka Alan Leggett.
