I am happy to concede that we have real problems with immigration in this country and we talk ourselves down but this sort of thing feels like intimidation and is really quite ugly.

these lot are going to be the reason nationalists rise and the UK breaks apart.

„Unite the Kingdom“
>but not the members of it who are trans

>or are Muslim
They are using the word „unite“ when I think they mean something else…

I’m at the counter protest now. Tbh, smaller than I’d been hoping for.

Why are they even on the streets for? Isnt United Kingdom united already?

When they are against non-white people, the LGBT community, anyone they consider woke and women (you can bet many will have domestic violence accusations made against them), I am quite happy to not be united with them. If anything, groups like this cause more division than the immigrants they hate.

> Thousands have gathered in central London for a march organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, with a counter protest by anti-racism campaigners also taking place.
So “unite the kingdom” is very definitely marketing spin. Tommy’s lot don’t want to unite anything.

The Oil Barons and dodgy finance bastards rubbing their hands with glee as the ‘ March of the Stupid’ parades their ignorance and gullibility. Depressing collection of fuckwits led by charlatans and scammers. Down vote me all you like I don’t care – I’ve made my point while I’m still allowed to!

It’s a good day to be British today. Shows that there still may yet be a slither of hope for this once proud and magnificent nation.

Why is this headline news? There are regularly larger pro-Palestine rallies that get little coverage (unless people get arrested)

>Ahead of the march, the Met confirmed it would not be using live facial recognition – which captures people’s faces in real-time CCTV cameras – in its policing of the Unite the Kingdom march.
What a surprise!
Notting Hill Carnival – Use facial recognition.
Far right march – No facial recognition.
Even handed policing.

These people are why I assume the worst about people flying flags.

As an Irish person with not much knowledge on this, I would imagine this would not be happening if working class English, Scots and Welsh did not feel left behind by the government.

I just hope it all goes down without trouble. We don’t need any of the sort of violence we’ve seen in States happening over here.
These guys want a fight, don’t give them the satisfaction.

Yeah, this isnt „thousands“…. just saw a video if it on twitter… its looking like hundreds of thousands, maybe near 1 million.

If thousands of people are showing up to protest, then there has to be an underlying issue. You can disagree(and I do) with the protests, but you can not just criticise and expect them to go away. This a significant amount of people who have decided to act. Reforms poll numbers are significant. Just disagreeing and saying they’re wrong is ignoring the volume of people who are angry, they cant all be racist/sexist/fascist. There has to be something else going on.
We have to do more as a society to get to the heart of these issues.
My guess is that if we strip everything away, the actual root cause is poverty. These people are frustrated that they are poor or poorer than they were. They are misguided on where they are placing that blame, but i can agree with them being angry they are poor.
So we should probably all be directing our anger towards the people who are making us poor. The billionaires, the corrupt leaders, the corporations, the banks.
How do we on both sides of the political spectrum work together to tackle that? Because if we dont, things are going to get worse and they’ll keep pullinh the strings.

What a disappointing thing to see. This country would be nothing without immigrants

Tiny Tommy ten names shady little mob, thousands of them and only three teeth and as many IQ points as a tepid glass of water…
Lots of Stella, Charlie and incoherent shouting at boats and getting hard for flags ensues…
Flag wankers.

Nice to see some British pride. Should be scared of our own flag it’s ours.
