Cruella's boot boys out on the street again protecting our British freedoms in their usual brutish fashion with violent disorder. She must feel very proud.

St George's Day: Arrests after disorder breaks out at Whitehall event - BBC News

Robinson and Fox were there.

I thought there were strict laws on protests now - with people being jailed if they don't follow the conditions set on the protests

People wave flags during a St George's Day rally on Whitehall

Siri, show me an image that illustrates the term 'lumpen proletariat'.

Odd response.Confused

Thevelvelletes · 24/04/2024 01:43

With a rise in protests promoting foreign causes no surprise really that there was a far right to counter that.
It's all about division being exploited by people for their own ends.
At least there wasn't anyone there that was openly ethnic.

Thevelvelletes · 24/04/2024 01:45

That's a dig at the met not anyone of colour.

foghead · 24/04/2024 01:51

I wonder if they know that St George is of Greek and Palestinian descent.

That's brilliant.😂

foghead · 24/04/2024 01:59

And the dragon he slew was in Libya.

foghead · 24/04/2024 02:04

Of course there wasn't really a dragon, but that's where the dragon story was based.

It's an interesting story.

There's a guy in the middle whose face seems made entirely of raw minced meat.

No other ethnicity hates their own ethnicity as much white middle class people do. George Orwell was onto you years ago.

WrenNatsworthy · 24/04/2024 11:16

There's one that looks a bit like a right wing Jennifer Saunders.

TooBigForMyBoots · 24/04/2024 13:45

Is the Far Right an ethnicity now?

Charlie2121 · 24/04/2024 13:46

At least they are not marching in support of a proscribed terrorist organisation.

Northernnature · 24/04/2024 13:48

Well you lot seem to think it is. You seem to think bunch of white people plus their national flag = far right. The hatred on this thread is disgusting.

I think when Tommy Robinson is there giving a speech, it’s a slightly different crowd to a Scouts St George’s Day flag parade, isn’t it?

TooBigForMyBoots · 24/04/2024 14:00

Hatred? I'm not at all keen on people who go out to cause trouble and assault the police and animals. I'd call that being a normal, law abiding citizen.🤷‍♀️

This wasn't a parade with families, floats and fun. It was a gathering of people who came to hear famous racists spout racism.

foghead · 24/04/2024 14:01

To be fair, I think all extremism causes issues. Any religion, any ideology that people adopt in an extreme manner is going to be problematic.
Those people are often angry and completely blinded with their intolerance.
Thankfully, the vast majority of people are quietly getting on with their lives with tolerance and amiability.
