Neo-Nazi have been sent packing from a Scottish town after they found themselves outnumbered by anti-hate campaigners.
A handful of hate figures from alt-right group Highland Division gathered in Elgin on Saturday in a bid to stir up hate and resentment towards refugees who have settled in the town. But a vibrant counter-protest organised by local trade unions saw at least 200 people turn out to drown out their hate speech.
The group had invited far-right activist Alek Yerbury – a former soldier who dresses like Oswald Mosley and Adolf Hitler – from the north of England to speak. But the alt-right figure, who has launched a 'supergroup' of hate figures called the National Support Detachment, was unable to speak due thanks to the efforts of locals opposed to hate.
The neo-Nazis, some of whom cannot be identified for legal reasons, gathered on Elgin's High Street. One wore a vest bearing the slogan "White Lives Matter" – a racist response to the Black Lives Matter movement – while another wore a belt buckle in the shape of a Nazi infantry division.
They then unfurled a banner bearing a white supremacist slogan popularised by David Lane, a Ku Klux Klan member. But counter-protesters drowned them out with megaphones, whistles and music, shouting: "Fascist scum, off our streets."
Police formed a protective barrier around the tiny gang of thugs as the counter-protest grew. Less than three hours after it met at midday, the group of far-right bullies was escorted away from the scene.
Stand Up To Racism Scotland said: "The local population of Elgin today gave anti-fascists everywhere a lesson of how you deal with fascist hatred targeting your community. Hundreds of locals spontaneously and peacefully surrounded the Nazis and drowned

Selome Hailu In 2019, veteran TV writer and producer Phil Rosenthal realized he had to move forward without one half of what he thought was “the best part” of his show — but more devastating than that problem was the personal heartbreak that came with it. In between Seasons 2 and 3 of “Somebody Feed Phil,” Rosenthal’s Netflix food and travel show, his mother, Helen, died from ALS. For the first two seasons, Rosenthal would dial Helen and his father, Max, on Skype to regale them with stories about each day’s adventure. The heart and humor of their responses was a large part of what kept viewers watching. “They were the part that connected the audience to a family,” he says. “I know the audience loves them, because they write to me and tell me. Whenever I post a picture with them, I get the biggest response. I feel like I owe everything that’s good in my life to them.”

It might sound like a backhanded compliment, but Downtown Owl feels more like a pilot than a feature film and may yet yield a series. In today’s market, that could work out just fine for directors Hamish Linklater and Lily Rabe, who, after a choppy start, finesse Chuck Klosterman’s digressive 2007 novel into a thoughtful, broad-canvas ensemble piece. T Bone Burnett helps nail things down with an eclectic alt-country score and soundtrack, infused with the music and spirit of Elvis Costello, but it’s Rabe that holds it all together onscreen with a controlled yet still wildly uninhibited performance.
