Media blackout on marches happening today

Is it me or is it not very strange that 1000s of people currently marching though our major cities today and no media coverage?

They are marching for our children's rights, to awareness to trafficking etc

Does the lack of coverage just play into the hands of those that accuse the media of being part of the problem.

They are currently peacefully marching to bring awareness because there sadly is hardly any awareness of trafficking, most people have the completely strep typical idea of what trafficking is, that is all some world wide elite club.
But the sad truth it looks very different, and is probably happening in a home near you right now.

So why no coverage. My SM is flooded with 1000s I f people walking the streets of Liverpool, London etc.

I don't want to believe there is darkness in control of our media and what we see etc but honestly I can't think for the life of me why this isn't being covered.

How can something be hijacked when very few people know about save our children uk?

TheFuckingDogs · 22/08/2020 15:53

Sounds about right!

orangesnapples · 22/08/2020 15:53

I found this course helpful for a better understanding of trafficking

Well we can just ignore the problem because there are some conspiracies
Or we can try and pick fact from the fiction and do something.

Well I asked my question and have gotten some great feedback.

I don't go in for the whole pizzagate stuff but I'm under no illusions that this does happen.

Yes child trafficking happens! We know this, it’s awful, take some of the tips from the poster above instead of getting sucked in by weird agenda led conspiracy shit

orangesnapples · 22/08/2020 15:55

Sorry keep forgetting to add the links

This is for the operation railroad organisation. It is based in the states but still very helpful.
There is quick course you can take to help get a better idea of what trafficking really is.

But it's not all conspiracy. It's happening.

I live in Nottingham and was in the city centre today, no idea about the protests until I saw them. Looked like far right nonsense to me but a large group of counter protesters were around too.

Redcrayons · 22/08/2020 15:57

Alternative photo of the march today in liverpool today.

Its all the q anon pizzagate nonsense.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 22/08/2020 15:58

They were carrying signs that read "God bless Donald Trump" so not the kind of people I can take seriously.

Antifa123 · 22/08/2020 15:58

This is a photo from Nottingham, they don't look like they're against human trafficking to me 🤷‍♀️

Is pizzagate the one where Chrissy Teigen secretly eats babies or some shit?

Gingernaut · 22/08/2020 16:01

Save Our Children 'whataboutery' advocates, intent on derailing discussions, show up on threads and online discussions about Covid-19.

Usually after the anti-mask, anti-vaccine, 5G conspiracy, hoax people have been banned.

The vast majority of child abuse and murders occur at the hands of family and friends.

Chances are, some of those who showed up on those marches are abusers themselves.

chomalungma · 22/08/2020 16:01

This is a photo from Nottingham

That does not look like Nottingham.

Why are there barriers?
The spelling of 'pedos' is American - and 'antifa' - in Nottingham
And no masks being worn.

Redcrayons · 22/08/2020 16:01

@Gancanny that’s the one.

Lockheart · 22/08/2020 16:02

I love the juxtaposition of "Save Our Children" and "No to covid camps - check New Zealand" on that one protestors sign.

The crazy is just too much for one issue, you've got to spread it around a little.

allthatglimmers · 22/08/2020 16:03

It's from the Nottingham Post www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/reaction-after-huge-protest-nottingham-4449282

chomalungma · 22/08/2020 16:03

I take that back.

Looks like idiots in Nottingham.

canigooutyet · 22/08/2020 16:03

Oh found it.
On Twitter absolutely no info about how they want to raise awareness or how they want to do this. Nothing.

Go over to FB. which is the only other place they can be found. The group is private.

If they wanted to raise awareness they are doing a very bad job of it.

I am actively involved in prevention, raising awareness and investigations of this. Raising awareness is promoted extensively, what I do is transparent as I can be.

Talking about protection of the vulnerable behind closed doors does nothing.

Oliversmumsarmy · 22/08/2020 16:03

is it not very strange that 1000s of people currently marching though our major cities today and no media coverage

Pre Covid there was at least one protest per week in London. Imagine putting every protest on the news.

FWIW child trafficking isn’t going on near me.
There are no children in my area

HasaDigaEebowai · 22/08/2020 16:03

That is Nottingham and its a far right pro facist demo. Nothing to do with helping children in any way.

Lockheart · 22/08/2020 16:04

@chomalungma they are standing right in front of the Alchemist, which is a) very obvious in the photo and b) a cocktail bar in Nottingham..

FlySheMust · 22/08/2020 16:04

I think we've seen that they are the crazies. Best ignored.

Gingernaut · 22/08/2020 16:05

The Alchemist bar and restaurant is in Nottingham.

I think you could safely say there's a distinct American influence driving this this 'campaign'.

'God bless Donald Trump'??????

canigooutyet · 22/08/2020 16:05

Oops as for the original question.

I'm glad these people aren't being given any media attention tbh.

Climbingallthetrees · 22/08/2020 16:06

It’s very easy to check whether that’s Nottingham. It is. And the bad spelling and americanisations is because they’re very dim online conspiracy theorists/fascists.
