Fatboy Slim has been entertaing Carnival Against Fascism protesters outside Brighton Station.
The protest was organised in response to a demo organised by a group called the South East Patriots.
The first arrest this morning was made before the demo had even started.
Earliet, Sussex Police said: “Our officers are in place at a planned protest in Brighton today, keeping you safe while facilitating peaceful protest.
“We have already arrested a man on suspicion of a public order offence in Queen’s Road and he has been taken to custody.”
The South East Patriots planned to host a march through the centre of Brighton, starting at noon.
The group is urging better control of Britain’s borders, enforcement of immigration laws and for illegal immigrants to be deported.
The counter-protest, involving about two dozen groups under the banner the Carnival Against Fascism, was due to start at 11am, aiming to show that far right supporters are not welcome in Brighton.
As well as Fatboy Slim, other musicians have added their names to the Carnival Against Fascism cause including Phil Hartnoll from Orbital who said that he might play a set on a portable 12-volt sound system.
Thats enough to send all protestors home

“The most famous owner at Western Esplanade is DJ Fatboy Slim, Norman Cook.
The secluded houses on a private road have their own private stretch of beach.
On the market at £2.95 million, the house offers floor-to-ceiling windows running the length of the ground floor with uninterrupted sea views.”
But not for you.
huh , thanks for the info but is there a point being made
????
They buy his rubbish cds so got to play along with them . lol.
Peter, the 90s called and wanted to let you know we moved on from CDs many years ago, lol.
Fatboy slim could take in a load of illegals into his mansion noticed most of the ones covering their faces were the lefties couldn’t see any of the patriots as there were too much old bill
Do you not realise how small those cottages are? One of his houses is full of records, and the other has a couple of spare bedrooms that his kids used when growing up, where exactly would he put the “load of illegals”? Maybe say things that aren’t ridiculous if you want people to take you seriously.
Surprised oldboy slim is still hanging in there, I suppose he has to try to remain cool and relevent!
It’s quite amusing to see how irate Fatboy Slim is making certain people for simply playing music and completely taking the wind out of the sails of those looking for a fight. Not being able to say anything other than throw some childish insults shows the caliber of those individuals, unfortunately.
Completely agree with you Benjamin. The only one to talk sense in these comments.
I wonder if they ever read back their own comments. They come across as very unhappy individuals, desperate to tear down anyone they perceive as more successful than they are.
Anyone who goes by that silly name cannot be taken seriously. A typical brighton and hove champagne socialist luvvy
What a miserable bunch of people commenting here. Maybe they were on the other-side of the police cordon and couldn’t enjoy the show!
