A NEONAZI youth group tried to take a highly publicised “white pride” march to the streets of Liverpool on Saturday, but hundreds of anti-fascist demonstrators turned them back.

National Action’s plot to make Liverpool “go up in flames” if prevented from marching ended in a damp squib as they were forced to take shelter at Lime Street Station lost property depot.

Members of the Anti-Fascist Network and Unite Against Fascism subjected the dwindling numbers of fascists to a “barrage of projectiles,” including bananas and rotten eggs.
