To wonder what sort of women are married to those blokes doing Nazi salutes at the cenotaph today?

[ChavvySexPond]

Any Mumsnet husbands off throwing bottles at police horses today?

[Cheeeeislifenow]

Why are the women in these thugs lives being blamed for their abhorrent views?

[ShootsFruitAndLeaves]

As far as I am aware, the Cenotaph hasn’t been vandalised.

There was no flag burning - it has been fact checked and Reaters, police etc have confirmed it did not happen 😮

You should provide a source for such claims.

The Cenotaph was in fact vandalised

There was an attempted flag burning, which would be illegal as attempted criminal damaage, as it was the Cenotaph flag and public property, not just a flag the protester bought off ebay

Some people have re-posted images from 2010 of Charlie Gilmour vandalising the Cenotaph as recent, which they obviously aren't.

Unfortunately there are news article circulating from before the Cenotaph was in fact vandalised, which haven't been deleted.

www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-news/police-dispel-rumours-cenotaph-being-18360724

These articles seem to have much greater circulation than the subsequent fact of the Cenotaph actually being vandalised.

Charlie swung off the flag, the silly sod.

[Clytemnestra2]

I don’t think the OP was in any way suggesting that the women married to these men were in some way responsible for their actions, but was just musing on who these men are married to/live with.

And on that point I’m guessing many of these men’s partners are the semi-literate women who post comments on my local Facebook page along the lines of ‘just seen a dodgy looking man outside the shops, looks Albanian to me’. Or post completely ridiculous comments along the lines of we need a hard Brexit to ‘keep the Turks out’ or similar.

[EsmeShelby]

They are married to women who agree with them. Their wives won't be on the demonstration, but they will agree with the sentiments.

[SurroundedByIdiotsEverywhere]

Probably the same sort who are married/with to the blm antifa black power brigade!

[FrenchFancie]

Unfortunately i know one of these in real life. We went to school together and were until today friends on Facebook. She was foaming at the mouth about ‘protecting monuments’ and I know that her partner was going up to London today to ‘do his patriotic duty’
She’s heavily involved in Ww2 re-enactments, as is her partner. I’ve only met him once but he came across as a thug.

It was spray painted (cleaned off as the people scrubbing were berated by a hobby woman who recorded it in the hope of harming them - but ended up getting outed as someone who worked of a services charity)
Said with such certainty and yet not the truth. It was not the cenotaph that was spray painted/cleaned by soldiers while a young woman asked questions - that was a statue of Field Marshal Earl Haig. Facts matter.

[BaileysforBreakfast]

Idiots blm antifa black power brigade
Quite a few groups you've conflated there. Well done.

[Lordfrontpaw]

Well excuse me for getting the wrong monument/statue.

And she wasn’t ‘asking question’ she was nipping at them like some self appointed social warrior.

[Clavinova]

Such misleading reporting here - the two men lying on the ground at the top of the page were violently set upon by groups of BLM protesters - the man with the protruding injury on his forehead was kicked multiple times (video footage on and via TalkRADIO twitter).

I don't doubt the injured men went looking for a fight but they got more than they bargained for - they were 'violently set upon' - no other way to describe it.

Some of the captions to the photos further down the page are ridiculous.

[Lifeisgenerallyfun]

Similar to ones the people pulling statues down and writing graffiti over statues of our war time leader and attacking policemen are married to I suspect. There are cunts on both sides and it’s reasonable to assume similar families are in the background.

[Paska]

Some people at the BLM marches might be cunts, but all white supremacists are cunts.

[Paska]

And here comes clav to defend racists as usual.

[Barney60]

Disgraceful who ever they are, and should be ashamed of them. One earlier post said "scared" id agree, otherwise I tar them with the same brush!

[FelicisNox]

Like attracts like in my experience but I dare say there will be one or two wives planting their foot up their husbands asses.

You can't watch them every moment so I'm sure there's a shock in store for one or 2 unaware wives today.

[Clavinova]

Paska
I'm not defending racists at all but did you look at those photographs? One of the men looks as though he could have brain damage. Who are you defending?

[Insanelysilver]

I have some knowledge about this due to my husband being a director of an antisemitism charity.
Quite often,It’s a case of’ birds of a feather flock together’ and the partner is equally as involved or at least holds very similar views.
You also get a lot of single people, who haven’t had much success with romantic relationships due to their obsession and general weirdness Those ones often find friendships within the network of other creeps that they move in.

[Clavinova]

At least the far-right are not so prevalent in the UK as some other European countries - Germany, Sweden, Poland, France, Italy...

[Mrhodgeymaheg]

To answer this question properly (although I think my first post was a very good guess), I think these women are scared, stupid, or hold similar views. I can't see how anyone in their right mind would find one of these men attractive. Not only are they repulsive in general, I can't see the conversation being particularly rivetting, or the sex being particularly good either. They haven't left the school playground yet - I think calling them 'men' or even 'blokes' is being very generous.

I'm going to start a movement for Romany, we've had far worst racism, and for far longer, but it seems to be accepted by society.
Such hypocrites, protesting against racism, yet upholding it in your own communities.
Want to stop racism look at the real outcasts GRT across the world, and of course the UK too.

I've seen a lot of ... romany have worse racism.

I'm not too clued up on BAME but I think you'll find that Romany, by its very definition, is part of this group.

Are you suggesting that BAME do not protect the rights of Romany?

Worse racism? By whose metric?

Can't argue with that!
