To think that these fine specimen of British manhood should make us proud to be English

[NurseNancyatToyHospital]

I bet Nigel Farage weeps into his beer when he sees these photos

Daily Mail link by the way.

count yourself lucky you aren't a constituent. he has the worst record of any MP for attending commons debates, never votes and spends most of his time going on international jollies.

Sounds like he'd make a good UKIP MEP

UKIP probably have no connections or certainly wouldn't show any support for Pegida
Why on earth would you think that?

Nigel Farage being co president of Europe of Freedom and Democracy group, along with Francesco Speroni who described Anders Breivik as someone whose 'ideas are in defence of western civilisation.
There there is Mario Borghezio, another member of the group who said:

"Long live the Whites of Europe, long live our identity, our ethnicity, our race… our blue sky, like the eyes of our women. Blue, in a people who want to stay white."

George Galloway was bezzies with Saddam Hussein who thought it was ok to massacre his own people.

horses courses.

Right, I was actually at the March yesterday, and I can tell you exactly what happened.

The 'violent clashes' were nothing like the report makes out. There was a scuffle between five people on the Pegida side. They tried to start fighting with the very nice police who were acting as a human barricade. There were 200 Pegida supporters. We saw the scuffle begin from our side of the road, and about three minutes later it was over as they were immediately arrested and bundled into vans.

Of the 2000 people who turned out against the Pegida lot, who had a peaceful march, and then a rally lasting two hours, there were no arrests at all. The police have confirmed this.

A pp commented on covered faces in the anti Pegida crowd. There were some. I can tell you exactly who they are. They are a small group of neo anarchists, mainly teenage boys, and by small group, there's about five of them. They like to turn up whenever the EDL (again there's about six of them) turn up. We had it at the protest when Nigel Farage came to speak here. The two groups wind each other up and do shouting. Very very boring and counterproductive, but as we are a free country, it is their right.

However, the other 1,995 anti Pegida protesters were a mix of many groups and ordinary people who came together to peacefully oppose the anti Islamic protests, and we all felt so proud to stand shoulder to shoulder as a friendly and tolerant city.

Isn't the nf link because of the second article underneath? The Margate anti ukip March?

www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/newcastle-unites-thousands-turn-out-8740851 I'm just glad so many turned out against them.

Yes, it's very important that people turn out against these fascists and challenge what they are saying. Maybe that's why people are keen for muslims to take part in an anti isis/ radical march. It would alleviate the suspicion that they sympathise with radical islam in any way.

Thank you trashcanjunkie for being part of the anti pegida march.

I even got on the telly! Apparently there's a sky news snippet of the March. I am the dark long haired lady wandering along rather gormlessly with my dp at 59 seconds through the clip. (I know this because I am rather sad and kept looking at us)

slaggyisland the picture after the guy with the Golden Dawn flag.

Looks like they're heading to Edinburgh.
The week after the SDL.
Sigh
Oh bother. Looks like I' ll be out demonstrating next.

So Nigel Farage wasn't there - but let's pretend he was because that's a way to link him in stupid people's minds with violence.

So UKIP didn't support them and the demonstrators possibly vote for other parties? (Or do we know for sure they are UKIP voters???? No course not)
So English and British are all the same??
And you know for a fact that these people were all the same? really OP - talk about prejudice

Thank you trashcan for a summary of what really happened. Good for you for going on the march too.

Btw I meant id be in any counter demo.

rat knew what you meant.

Didn't go well did it OP? Although I must congratulate you for one of the least accurate OPs yet.

Not all English, not all men and no sign of NF. And a link to DM to top it all off.

no hope it was ironic?

And GG is a massive bell end. One of those cases where the enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

Didn't go well did it OP? Although I must congratulate you for one of the least accurate OPs yet

Eh? Majority of people in photo were men, majority English/British, likely to vote for UKIP as they are most electable party for those who support Pegida (they're hardly going to be voting Green are they?). Stated in OP it was a Daily Mail link; they had best photos of the handsome chaps.

I'm Scottish and so is George Galloway. He is, as others have said, a gigantic bellend. I've had the misfortune to meet him. He''s a self-satisfied, deluded arsepiece.

The looks on their faces are chilling.

That amount of hate is terrifying. Who hates that strongly? It's awful.

No Nancy - your OP said "To think that these fine specimen of British manhood should make us proud to be English". No mention of the women or the non-English people who were there. British and English are not interchangeable and shouldn't be used as such.

Although it should be noted that UKIP often ignore women and use English and British as the same thing.

That's so true - but I'm sure that the OP wouldn't want to be thought of in the same way as UKIP.

I must have forgotten to put in the thread title

What's lighthearted about a)using English/British interchangeably, or b)Pegida?
