To expect ' family friendly' to mean lots of people with kids and picnics.

Warmlight1 · 2026-05-17T10:35:16+00:00

To be puzzled by descriptions of the far right march as a peacefully family day? I saw a clip.with Yaxley Lennon driving down a road stating this and there were literally no children visible. I don't know what he was talking about in the context of what he was looking at it was just made up Really in any case most people would not take kids. Why in general has the truth become so unimportant? Like- I'm sure he could have got a picture of a family. But it wasn't even that important. He doesn't think anyone cares about truth in what he says.

In this context I think they meant limited swearing/ no violence etc... although 'family friendly' is off on both sides of this sort of thing frankly - I saw a very 'lefty crunchy' 7 year old screaming fuck off you nazi fuckers we should kill Tommy Robinson and eat him all while this lovely little humans purple haired mother was laughing and saying yes you tell them. (Saw on YouTube i couldn't be arsed with this sort of march around activity regardless of my political views)

Yes I saw that little boy. I hope social services are looking into his home life. Lots of cause for concern here

I don’t think it’s just reform supporters who are concerned about the influx of illegals immigrants and the impact they may have.

No, and I didn’t say that it was. Why are you making such bizarre and irrelevant statements? My post was about you apparently assuming that anyone who didn’t support the Yaxley Lennon march must support the Pro Palestine marches… why bring the Palestine marches into it at all? The OP was just addressing the assertion that the Yaxley Lennon march was ‘family friendly’.

Why have you turned it into a comparison? The OP didn’t mention any pro Palestine marches, she was just questioning the ‘family friendly’ description of the Yaxley Lennon march.
There’s this really bizarre idea on here that if you don’t support Reform you must be spending your weekends marching in support of Palestine instead. So weird and reductive.

There was a far right gathering near us recently. Their only slogan, “protect our children” except, they probably aren’t including my child in that. It’s specific children they want to protect.

Yes the our is definitely queriable

Just because people do not agree with your politics, it's unfair to label them far right.

Ablondiebutagoody · 18/05/2026 16:57

I wasn't there but imagine it just means that most people who attended would be friendly/welcoming to kids. Same for the pro-Gaza march. Like when you are on a train with a load of football fans. Loud, drunk, bad language but generally friendly.

Somebody on here posted about a march to support victims of grooming and support of children’s futures happening on the day. Maybe there were some kids on that bit?

The UTK march covered those issues so I expect you're thinking of that one.

No he was driving down a road he was videoing on his car camera saying 'look at that it's families' and not a child in sight.

The point is that Yaxley Lennon was saying there were families there- and from what I've seen there were no kids much- maybe he meant people brought their parents?

Well there was one 15 year old girl there because there is a pretty viral clip of a creepy old bloke chatting her up and saying he was about to do jail time!

I definitely know someone who was there with his 12/13 year old son. Taking happy pictures of them both and sharing updates and pics on a group WhatsApp, which includes people of a range of ethnicities. Pretty offensive but at least everyone knows who he is now. WhatsApp is for parents of U13 football team in London.

Sheesh

I thought this thread was going to be about a misadvertised National Trust property or some such.

There is plenty to criticise in relation to Tommy Robinson's hateful excursions but this isn't one of them. Clearly all that was meant was that they were not aiming at a violent event.

You could always give them a negative review on PrickAdvisor, for the lack of a children's activity trail, though. I heard that the IT for the event was completely crap too, which could lose them another star.

Let's just hope that there aren't too many innocent children there. No child should be brainwashed into racism and hate.

Littlepixie75 · 18/05/2026 06:47

I was in London on Saturday for a long planned theatre trip and was horrified to see quite a few children draped in Union Jack flags heading to the UTK rally. So there definitely were kids there. All with their dads, all of whom were drinking cans of cider walking down the street at 10am.

I saw children and grandparents and even some very posh accents on TikTok live.
I didn’t watch it for long.
I would never bring a child anywhere that had the potential for violence.

I think that's Reforms latest thing- 'even posh people and families like us' it's the bit of the electorate they are going for. But I saw Yaxley Lennon claim he'd seen families when there were no families. So it sounds like a line to me.
