'Anti-Fascist' Demonstrators Face-Off Against Police in Calais

"Anti-fascist" is correct-speak for leftists and communists.

At Telegraph UK:


Police and anti-fascist demonstrators were involved in a standoff on Sunday in the French port town of Calais.

The stand off came during a march by left-wing activists who were protesting at a separate march by far right anti-immigration activists.

Calais is facing rising tensions over immigration with about 1,300 migrants from the Horn of Africa, Sudan and Afghanistan currently there.

Protesting leftists said they were defending the migrants and were trying to disrupt the demonstration by anti-immigration activists protesting the influx of migrants camping out in Calais while they wait to try and sneak across the English Channel into Britain.

Police barricaded streets and sought to keep the groups apart.
Also at London's Daily Mail, "Calais migrant tensions simmer as Britain offers to send fences from Nato summit."
