Fuck OFF Elon Musk

Elon Musk appeared via video link today at Tommy Robinson's Racist March wittering on about woke mind viruses and calling for the dissolution of parliament.

All I really want to say is FUCK OFF ELON MUSK.

I hate the way people are including children in their "racist" allegations.

There WERE children there and you called them all "just a bunch of racists"

You really need to think what you are saying. This type of hate speech can cause riots.

There's a saying that those who call everyone else racists, are actually the racists themselves.

Are you agreeing that there were far more marchers than 150,000 then?

See my posts just above. Then give us the maths for getting anything like 1,00,000 marchers across Westminster Bridge in however long you think it took the marchers on Saturday to cross it.

Quick reference: the bridge is 250 m x 25 m. Soldiers keep about 1 m front, back and on each side. Many of the marchers had placards so that’s a good assumption.

Hint: @cardibach and I calculated that even packed in like sardines, at twice the density of soldiers, it would take 1,000,000 marchers over 5 hrs to cross. Nothing like this occurred.

At that (ridiculous) density it would take your 2,000,000 marchers over 10 hrs to cross.

Please just use your brain

The only yobs I saw were the anti protesters goading the marchers

Yeah, because hurling bottles of piss at people is such a genteel thing to do...

I read online (sorry no link available) that just over half the arrests were actually counter protesters.

You’re going to have to back that up because everything I can find says it’s the Tommy Robinson supported who attacked the police.

GabrielsOboe · 15/09/2025 17:07

On a brighter note, at least those marching over the weekend have not:

  1. Been proscribed as a Terrorist Group, like Palestine Action.
  2. Sought to obstruct justice/the police (using force of numbers so the police are unable to arrest all of them etc).
  3. Broken into a military base and vandalised aircraft.
  4. Suffered 1,601 arrests to date, and counting.

Credit, therefore to the 110,000+ people who attended the weekend’s “Unite the Kingdom”!

Whether I'm well educated or not (and it's absolutely nothing to do with you what qualifications I've got), I've got common sense, but you can't clearly can't comprehend the fact that just because people weren't physically at the march, it doesn't mean that they weren't supportive of it.

Your reasoning is like saying only people who are actually in attendance in the stadium at a World cup football match are supporting the game, yet millions of people are supporting the game just as much if they're at home, at work, or wherever they may be, if they support football and want their team to win.
I'm astonished that you and a couple of other posters can't seem to grasp this simple fact.
By the way, there was way more than 150,000 people there too, just admit it. You can deny things all you want to other people, but you can't deny things to yourself,

Oh, I'm bitter and vengeful too am I? What's the real issue, have I hit a nerve with you?

So you're now saying the march was bigger than it was because all the people who weren't there also have to be counted. 😂

Yes.
And it really is disgusting to call innocent protesting families, a bunch of racists.

Nasty...

I don't trust MSM, I prefer to use my own eyes and make an honest judgement, maybe you should try it for yourself.

How are you calculating the figure? If it's something you're not used to doing, it Dan ve 8nxredibly difficult to decipher. I saw a post yesterday from a march supporter (when the press wad saying 100,00) who claimed the real figure was probably between 3 and 500 000 and at least had a sensible calculation algorithmwl- I've tried to find the details again and will keep looking for it.

I'm still waiting for the apology for the nasty ageist comment.

As you well know, the insult was ageism and had nothing to do with my parents emigrating.

There as no ageist insult. She was referring to her own age and her feelings about the march, echoing your own wording.

Lonelycrab · 15/09/2025 17:14

85% of us still think Musk should fuck off.

I thought my use of the 😁 emoji would be enough to suggest I don't agree that there were 3 million marchers, and I think 250,00 is probably reasonable, given how quickly they moved around.

What do you think of Tommy Robinson's criminal history?

2005 – Assault
Robinson was first convicted back in 2005 for assaulting an off-duty police officer who had "intervened in a bid to protect the EDL founder's girlfriend" as they argued in the street, said The Mirror. Robinson was sentenced to 12 months in prison.

2011 – Assault
Robinson was convicted of assault again in 2011, receiving a suspended sentence for butting a man at an EDL rally in Blackburn.

2011 – Community order
In July 2011, Robinson was given a 12-month community rehabilitation order for leading a brawl that involved more than 100 football fans in Luton in August 2010.

2013 – False passport
Robinson was then jailed in 2013 for using a false passport, having attempted to use someone else's to enter the US. He had "previously been refused entry to the US", said The Independent, and borrowed the passport of his friend, Andrew McMaster, in addition to carrying his own.
On arrival in New York, "he was caught when customs officials at JFK airport took his fingerprints and realised he was not Mr McMaster". Before they could follow up, Robinson "left the airport, entering the US illegally".
After returning to the UK, using his own passport, he was arrested and admitted to the charges in court, receiving a 10-month prison sentence.

2014 – Mortgage fraud
In January 2014, Robinson was given an 18 -month prison sentence for "conspiring with others to obtain a mortgage by misrepresentation from the Abbey and Halifax banks", said The Guardian.

2019 – Contempt of court
Robinson was again jailed in 2019 for contempt of court after interfering with a grooming gang trial by livestreaming on Facebook outside Leeds Crown Court in 2018.
Judges said Robinson had called for "vigilante action" during the hour-and-a-half broadcast while the jury considered its verdict. The livestream was viewed more than 250,000 times, and called on supporters to "harass a defendant by finding him, knocking on his door, following him, and watching him", judges said.

2021 – Stalking
The next brush with the law came after The Independent journalist Lizzie Dearden and her boyfriend Samuel Partridge reported Robinson to the police for stalking, in January 2021.
Robinson "stood outside Dearden’s house and shouted unsubstantiated allegations about Partridge" and "threatened to repeatedly return to her address", said The Guardian. He had found her address through a private investigator after she had enquired through his legal team about an alleged misuse of money donated by his supporters.

2024 – Contempt of court
Robinson was jailed again for contempt of court for being in breach of an injunction by repeating false allegations about a Syrian refugee.

Credit to Tommy Robinson?

I think they're referring to Saturday's march.

Can’t find any evidence there either.

There isn’t, because it would make no sense. And to answer the PP ypu responded to - @Petitchat nobody is suggesting the children were racist, because they didn’t themselves decide to go on the march.

It's called projection. Accusing others of the things they're saying or doing themselves.

Doesn't matter. They don't want evidence. You could put half a dozen independent Martian observers with no axe to grind and a bunch of clickers on that bridge to do a count and they still wouldn't believe it.

Well, it must have been good then, and Elon must be right about everything. An awful lot of people in the past have drawn massive crowds though - Putin, that chap Kim Jong Un, and there was this German bloke back in the day. Massive crowds. They must all have been on the side of the angels.

At 1451 votes, 85% is 1233 votes for Fuck off Elon

If they marched over Westminster Bridge, some would say that's at least 10,000 people.
