FAR-RIGHT demonstrators failed to bring large numbers to the streets at the weekend after dozens of anti-fascist activists come out to meet them in Dover.

Despite bold words about a two-day protest in Kent, fewer than 30 South East Alliance of National Front supporters marched in the town on Saturday, while Sunday turned into a no-show.

Two men identified as neonazis were arrested before the demonstration on suspicion of having been involved in violent acts at a previous event.

Kent Anti-Racism Network wrote on Twitter: “Pathetic numbers of fascists in Dover! One is too many, but 30 is pretty lame.”

The group added that the reportedly 700 Kent Police officers present were giving the racists a “cuddle.”

In another tweet, the network celebrated seeing local young people standing on the bridge over the Dover Priory station to shout at the far-right rabble: “Fuck off, we don’t want you here.”

A Rock Against Immigration concert originally planned to take place on Saturday evening was reportedly changed to Maidenstone at the last minute.

A police spokesman said the “planned demonstrations by various groups in Dover this weekend has ended peacefully.

“There was a large police presence on the streets of the town with support from other police forces and mounted officers.”

Kent Police seized over 20 weapons, including a knuckle-duster, following a similar fascist march in January.

In other fascist news, Britain First leader Paul Golding was briefly arrested in Leicester on Saturday for breaching of bail during an abortive campaign day for his far-right grouplet.

A Britain First stall was quickly surrounded by locals telling fascists where to go before police had to escort them out of the city for the second Saturday in a row.
