Groups of fascists are arriving by train at Piccadilly and Salford stations certainly; those spotted at Picc are pushed by the cops through a couple of metal detecting arches. There's loads and loads of cops there, also lining most main thoroughfares, and patrolling in groups on foot, and in vehicles, with horses and dogs and Tactical Aid Units (riot cops) everywhere, especially round the Gay Village and the Northern Quarter (lots of Asian businesses there). Some stopping people, fash and anti-fash, searching sometimes videoing at same time.
There's groups of anti-fash been gathering at various places, but without a real plan or much room to manoeuvre, now some marching in too to UAF midday rally in Piccadilly Gardens. The fash are meant to be meeting in a pub on the north side of the Gardens, the Weatherspoons, but some also going in nearby pubs, waiting to come out to play at 5 in the Gardens where they have permission for a static demo.
Rumours of fash set-down or pick-up points, but nothing so far...
