Why was it mostly men on the march?

[noblegiraffe]

I've seen quite a few photos of the march yesterday, and they pretty much all look like the one below. Vast majority men. Why is that? Why is Robinson's patriot messaging and call-to-action landing mostly with men and not women?

Voting by sex wasn't massively different in the last general election - men were certainly more likely to vote Reform, but not by a huge amount, so generally politically we're not that different.

I should have said there are no-go areas for white people in many of our major cities, not that the whole city is a no-go area.

However, you have not adressed what I actually said. Would you feel OK walking through Whitechapel as I have described it?

Having lived in London my whole life I am very much someone who is used to big cities and seeing a mix of people. I am also someone who, as a white English woman is used to now being a minority in most situations (at work, at my children's school, kids clubs etc..)

That said protests have gradually been depressed in Afghanistan because the ruling regime is violent, repressive and totalitarian.

Nothing to do with it being muslim. The same is true for North Korea. Is that the best you can do?

I was responding to it being majority white. Would you honestly expect white not to be the majority?

Which areas of which cities are no-go areas for White Briton?

I've worked in and around Whitechapel for a very long time, over 20 years, and never felt anything beyond the usual feeling of a big city. Never had any issues at all. I'm sorry if someone's experience has been different but it is absolutely not a 'no go area' to work or socialise in.

And back to the demonstration. I know people who were trapped in Whitehall having to be protected by the police because the mob on the other side wanted to get in and attack them. That is absolutely not to say that everyone was out for a fight but there is always....always....violence at a right wing demonstration. The Police get an absolute beating. So much for family friendly and patriotic.

Because women knew they wouldn’t be safe on the march amongst so many violent criminal men of fighting age.
OH THE IRONY

I went to meet a friend from the north in London (bad choice of weekend) and I would guesstimate 90% male and mostly 30s-40s demographic (at least coming from SE outer boroughs of London).

Me neither. But bear in mind that for many far right people, visibly Muslim people existing is enough to make them feel unwelcome. Food shops geared towards different ethnicities, multilingual signs on shops etc. All of them enough to make someone feel ‘unsafe’.

So when posters say there are ‘no go areas’ in UK cities this is what they mean. They don’t mean no go if you happen to be white. They mean they are no go if you happen to be white, a racist, and desperately desirous of not being confronted with a diverse mix of ethnicities.

“Many”?

Why were they so absent from the footage?

@JHound you might want to send that to the Taliban!!
women in Afghanistan are not treated well or respected no amount of googling will change that fact!
and you are being ridiculous to suggest otherwise

Here's one https://x.com/osinteurope/status/1966930862127149061?s=61&t=U9XrcF693-JpMxeIueYG7g

(warning v offensive language being chanted)

@CupOTeaFatheri worked in Whitechapel at the Royal London for many years. My job involved spending lots of time out in the community. I never felt unsafe. I was never stared at or treated with disrespect. Yes many of the men and women dressed differently to me. They have me no reason to feel scared. Why would they?

Clip here (making a bet with myself about your reaction):

Also there is a clip of someone calling for Starmer to be assassinated.

I have long since understood that their definition of “no go” is “too many black and brown people”.

Yes, I have in fact walked through Whitechapel on a number of occasions. I do not recall feeling especially intimidated.

So whereabouts in London do you live? It's just that where I'm originally from (the mainly white South East/Kent which is technically London but mostly outside Greater London) you get an awful lot of people who seem compelled to comment on London having "a lot of blacks" and equating that with "intimidating".

For the Yaxley-Lennon/Robinson supporters including @CupOTeaFather

This is your hero's record:
Convicted for…- assaulting an officer in 2005
- assault at a neo-Nazi rally in 2011
- football hooliganism in 2011
- using a false passport in 2013
- mortgage fraud in 2014
- contempt of court in 2019
- stalking a woman in 2021
- libel in 2024

What a patriot! What a role model for your children!

So given the arrests and the size of the crowd, does that qualify as 'mostly peaceful'?

I don’t recognise Whitechapel as you describe it to be honest! Yes there is a high proportion of Somali / Bengali families living there, it is an area that has always been popular with new immigrant populations for several hundred years, ( a hundred years ago you would have been commenting on how many Jewish people you saw and how the men ‘ stared’ at you) but it is also home to many other cultures, including white metrosexual yuppies. It has a long very popular market which means more people are out and about on the street, but that happens in any area which has a street market, and there are plenty of those in London.

Can you read?

Ah, the old lefty tactic or 'I don't like something you said, so you must be a liar'. Feel free to visit Rotheram yourself and report back if you don't believe me. Or any other city with a sizeable Pakistani population.

Are you sure it was a white power march?!? Maybe you should have gone to explain to these gentlemen that it was a white power march, because they obviously didn’t get YOUR memo. I also saw banners from the ex Muslim community being there. There was all walks of life. Stop making out like the right are all racist ffs there were plenty of people there from all races

I am fine walking around Whitechapel.

I was actually looking for rentals there last year when I realised I could not afford anything I liked.
What am I missing that made it a no-go zone for white Britons exclusively!

@CupOTeaFather
Those areas are usually no-go for non white women as well because the crime rate is high. There are some predominantly white areas in many cities which would be no-go for me as a white woman, because of the crime.

Just to note the image is currently under review but no doubt it won’t be allowed as this is a leftist site but it is of 2 black men covered from head to foot in Union Jack wear

No it's there in under 2 minutes. Another wild claim.
