Below is a transcription of the images. And the letter Farage wrote.

cornwallresists Cornwall Resists response to Nigel Farage:

Oh dear, we seem to have rattled Farage the fascist.

We’re going to celebrate that as a win!

According to Farage, we’re domestic terrorists who should be proscribed, describing us as “a very violent and dangerous organisation”.

He also claims hundreds of people contacted the venue asking them to cancel his conference, and that we prevented 100 people from attending altogether. If this is the case, we’re very happy with that result. We hope that Carn Brea Leisure centre will think again next time Farage wants to use its premises as a breeding ground for hate. We do not tolerate hate, especially on our turf.

Like most people, we aren’t pacifists - we will defend ourselves and our communities when under attack. As we saw in Plymouth last summer when fascists attacked us for hours with bricks and fireworks, the police do not protect us. We - the people - protect us.

But let’s also be clear - the violence that occurred on Monday night was instigated by the police, Reform-hired security and Reform supporters.

On Monday afternoon we were able to block one of the entrances to the conference. We didn’t try to storm it, we simply stood in the way. Reform supporters didn’t have to walk through us - they could have gone back to the main entrance, which many did. However instead of redirecting Reform supporters back to the main entrance, the police and Reform security tried to get them through our blockade by violently assaulting people, punching people and throwing them to the floor.

Reform supporters were deliberately provoking protesters, getting in their faces and even punching one person in the face. The police did nothing to stop them, so it was down to us to protect our friends and allies. Across the road a Reform supporter spray-painted “Islamism is Nazism”.

    Your post is so off the mark that it is probably best classed as energy-sapping support of the far right.

    Only if you scan read without paying any actual attention to the comment.

    My post is saying posting this response to Far rages attempt to label it as domestic terrorism was stupid. Not the act. I never criticised the actions.

    I pointed out documenting the attempt and intent as a nose snub. Is giving Far rage all the ammunition he needs to convince parliament your intentions are to use threat to stop his political opinion.

    Being too innocent to recognise when you are giving fascists rope around your own neck is also support of the far right.

      Nonsense.

      I read your post carefully.

      You repeatedly claimed that what people opposed to Farage did was illegal, thus wrong.

      One characteristic of fascism, its appeal to the strength of the core group, rather than logic or reason, absolutely underpins the content of your post.

      Your post was time and energy wasting support of the far right. Trump does something similar. Throws out a hundred claims that require a huge amount of energy to refute.

      Well done, But you won’t waste any more time or energy or mine.
