What’s the difference between the people at the last night of the proms and the people at the march today? Middle class vs working class? I am genuinely mystified. Tommy Robinson apart, he’s not the people’s person he thinks he is.

*march (can’t edit my post)

The proms is a celebration of music, art and beauty carried out in a traditional manner by a diverse assortment of musicians.

The marches are a bunch of racist thugs inciting violence and spouting hateful fascist rhetoric.

Hope that helps.

Working class. Love last night of the proms and wouldn’t have touched Tommy Robinson and his match with a barge pole.

What do you mean? I'm working class and not a racist thug and like classical music.

I don’t actually understand the question - what do you mean by “ are the working class less than”?

I’m working class and I wouldn’t touch that march with a bargepole.

There's plenty of video footage of the violence.

They weren't waving banners saying "remigration now"

The violence in one and not the other?
The many EU flags at one and not the other?
The coming together to celebrate art and diversity in one and not the other? Many of the audience, composers and performers will not be British.

You don’t think police officers were injured?

proms is celebrating the positive bits of British culture. The march was about hatred and kicking down on the vulnerable. That is, the worst bits.

TessoftheBurgervan · 13/09/2025 22:43

Oh come on. You know the difference and it’s got nothing to do with class.
