The owners of Britain’s largest socialist bookshop, Bookmarks, have said the store was attacked by far-right protesters wearing masks who wrecked displays and ripped up books and magazines.

Posting on Facebook and Twitter, Bookmarks said staff were closing the shop on Bloomsbury Street in central London on Saturday evening when about a dozen people descended on it.

The campaign group Stand Up To Racism, speaking on behalf of Bookmarks, said some of the attackers carried placards reading “British Bolshevik Cult” and that one of those involved wore a Donald Trump mask.

A far-right protest against censorship of the conspiracy theory website Infowars took place in central London on Saturday at which protesters were seen with the same placards. Others wore “Make Britain Great Again” caps.

The Nazi tendency is feeling its oats. Calling the BBC "the British Bolshevik <something>" is one of their standard tropes, of course: https://www.politicsforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1295236#p1295236 (that was from a Pinochet supporter). And destroying books gives them yearnings for Hitler.

1. "What? We're not Nazis."

They say as they burn another book. Geesh.

2. They're always about destroying books, even as they yell about free speech and censorship -

free speech only for themselves and the rest of the far right in their view.

3. You can't walk 300 feet in London without being filmed. The police will just backtrack a few to home

4. Putin's tentacles are all over the world.

No doubt he meddled in Brexit and Trump.
