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.

More disingenuous gaslighting. What a surprise. Reread the post. Perpetrated by a woman or child's closest relatives. Closest relatives. Husband/partner, father, son, brother, uncle, family friend.

An oddly high number of the anti immigration protesters arrested following last year's riots had previous convictions for domestic abuse - abh, gbh, sexual assault etc.

WTAF are you talking about with your 'gaslighting' crap?
I'm not saying that people aren't assaulted by those known to them too, but to dismiss what I've said what happened to a friend of mine as if I'm making it up is absolutely disgusting of you.
If you could speak to my friend, she'd tell you how terrified she now is to even walk down the street alone, this is because she was attacked in broad daylight whilst walking along a public path on her way to work, with cars passing by, so she initially felt that she had no reason to feel unsafe. But then she was jumped on by an 'assylum seeker'.

The ONLY reason the lowlife was caught was because she fought back and he couldn't undo her jeans, after he slammed her to the ground. He then ran off because of her screaming, but was caught after an Uber driver picked him up, and recognized the description the Police had circulated of him and took the police to the hotel he'd dropped him off at. The man was actually sitting outside on a wall using his phone, when the Uber driver noticed him and the same clothes he was wearing.

I'm sorry that happened to your friend, that's terrible.

Then factor in the age and sex of those migrant numbers and compare that with the rates for UK citizens of a similar demographic (hint - it tends to be young men).
When you have those figures you can say something useful. But that wouldn't make a good Daily Mail clickbait 'these immigrants are all rapey bastards' headline would it.

The Radio 4 'more or less" programme had a very good review of this last week. It's worth a listen - I think it's available as a podcast.

I was going to say that - when you correct for age, the picture is much less clear cut. But the Tommy fans don't want accurate data.

Lemons, your wilful misreading of that post is a new low. Though sadly it's a common tactic.

Thank you, I know we disagree on everything on this thread, but it's decent of you to say that.

Janice and Kerry don't speak for every one of those thousands and thousands of people attending the march in London, or the many people who couldn't attend but were supportive of it. They speak for themselves.
I think the huge majority of people who are trying to make a stand are just against the mass influx of people coming over on boats and claiming to be asylum seekers.

I'll say again, we don't know where they're from or who they are, and we can't afford to accommodate them.

Are you talking about refugees/asylum seekers arriving by boat?

They make up less than 10% of total immigration.

Or are you talking about all immigration?

Absolutely nothing to do with my parents living in Spain, as well you know.

You repeated what I said I'm getting on now and said it disgusted you.

No amount of waffling will get you out of your insult.

Oh for goodness’ sake! I was referring to Y-L’s march as disgusting me, not your age, obviously. 🙄
Now, again, for the last time, please explain how describing your parents who emigrated to another country to live as immigrants is an insult. Several pages ago, you told me that all I’m capable of is “hurling insults” at you. That was offensive, I did no such thing.
Why do you think the term “immigrant” is an insult?
You owe me an apology.

The number of people arriving on boats is hardly a mass influx. That would be the “legal” migrants from Ukraine and Hong Kong, for example. Do you have the same issue with them?

IWFH · 16/09/2025 09:15

@Lemonandorangecheescake

Nowhere have I stated that everyone on the march was a racist because I don't believe that to be the case.
What I firmly believe however is that a number of people on the march were demonstrably racist particularly amongst the leadership.
Whether racists made up 10%, 50% or 90% of the marchers I have no way of telling - but I am aware that anyone associating with Yaxley-Lennon shouldn't be surprised if people question their underlying motives.

It's the faux oh everyone on the march was an angel without a racist bone in their body argument that is so bloody daft to argue.

I do not stand for Unite the Kingdom so I cannot say what their specific aims are. I was just outlining why I attended the rally and had many discussions with like minded people

You make some valid points about migration and, maybe, Labour are trying to do something about it but, you cannot deny, that migration is costing us billions year on year. I have also seen that migrants do get what I stated. Please show me where it says that they do not.

You went to a rally organised by a group whose aims you are unaware of? Why would anyone do that?

Tbf I don't think it's only the right that are guilty of that. There was a guy who came on MN who had been arrested for supporting Palestine Action who thought that the planes they had vandalised were used for refuelling Israeli bombers when actually that would be impossible.

People in the pro-Palestine marches chanting support for the Houthis because they were attacking shipping 'in support of Palestine' with no idea just how awful the Houthis actually are.

People really need to do more research before marching/chanting/supporting.

How is @MrsSkylerWhite saying she’s getting older ageism?

If you can’t apologise for your own mistakes, I think you need to look closer to home why the state of the country is as it is.

Thank you. It’s absolute nonsense, isn’t it? This poster refuses to reply to direct questions and deliberately misreads/represents comments by others. I’m wondering why, now.

It's a continuous influx, that's the thing. And legal migrants don't tend to arrive by dinghy.

GabrielsOboe · 16/09/2025 09:49

So Starmer called the march ‘plastic patriotism’.

This is why Labour are screwed.

Tone deaf and arrogant.

Seeking asylum is legal

To seek asylum in the UK, you have to be on UK soil. For most refugees there are no legal and safe routes to do so. So they arrive by irregular means.

Do you want to stop people from claiming asylum?

Well yes but continuous does not equal “mass”. Mass immigration to the Uk is not by small boats.
I put legal in quotes because there is no such thing as illegal migrants when they arrive in the UK. They are asylum seekers until their case is heard and a decision made. If their case is rejected, they will be deported.

It is a bit, though. The people I know locally who attended the march aren't the ones running the exercise classes for the elderly, running the youth groups or volunteering to drive hospital transport, helping our local river trust clear the rubbish out of rivers etc etc. These, as far as I'm concerned, are the patriots - doing their best to make their communities that little bit better.

And before anyone starts with thd 'how do you know what everyone on the march does'., I don't, I'm purely commenting on the local people who went on the march.
