The Restore Britain March seems to have gone pretty well today from what I can glean online.

It could be a faulty algorithm, but the trouble the PM seemed to think would happen doesn’t seem to have materialised. I’ve seen clips from the march where a diverse mix of people have marched, not just football hooligan types.

Mr Monkey works in retail in central London. Yesterday was not a nice family day out, it was, as he put it "wall to wall cunts". It was not a fun day for working class Londoners (of any colour) just trying to do their jobs.

He is a football fan, and has been since the 80s and remembers football violence well. In his view these are pissed up football hooligans

The hatred is horrendous, my friend and I were in London yesterday and we were making our way through Charing Cross, she is of Sri Lankan descent and a doctor.

The thugs we walked past were emboldened enough to shout paki at her multiple times and spit on her - this was at 11am in the morning. Just lovely.

I can't understand why anyone thinks this is acceptable in this day and age.

That’s what these people think is a “family day out”. Op thinks that’s “no bother”.

I’m sorry your friend experienced this, Shame her career doesn’t allow her to only treat those worthy.

It was organised by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. He co-founded the EDL, and is widely accepted as being far right. I suspect that might be your answer as to why the march was considered a right wing march.

No no, all centralists, only concerned in mass immigration, the loss of English culture and values.

All the 'right have is hatred & division, its what they thrive on, driven by social media and algorithms that drive this.

Nice family day out? If you’re as thick as mince and more than a bit racist, possibly. However, I’m yet to meet anyone with more than two brain cells who’d be seen dead at one of these things.

Where did I say it was ‘no bother?’

I agreed there would be a right wing faction, but stated from the videos I’ve seen there were also a diverse collection of people celebrating their country.

And who is responsible for these problems?

What will Reform or any of the other right wing parties do to solve these problems?

Yeah, just a bog standard, wholesome, family oriented far right march.

God help us 😆

💯. agree.

Personal attack. Reported.

It was a far right march. Organised by far right people.

When you say a "right wing faction", do you mean standard Tories ? As in, to the left of the organisers ?

Right wing faction, as in moderate right wingers ?

It’s funny how the facists love to complain about others but will be the first to complain when anyone calls them out! 😂

@EvangelicalAboutButteredToastI am not sure they understand the meaning of facism…

Reform will do absolutely fuck all to improve the country. They’ve already lost one of their elected councillors for being a porn star on the quiet 🙈. I’m hoping that by getting into local councils their ineptitude will ensure they won’t get elected into government.

I wonder why the English in particular have been encouraged to feel ashamed of themselves? Certainly my Irish family don't. My DH is Italian and can't understand it. In Italy they boast about their culture and food. They don't dwell on past crimes.

I mean I’m absolutely sure there was an extremist element.

Doesn’t this thread explain it 🤣

Agreed!

unfortunately, that sort gravitate to MN 😞

I don’t know anyone who is ashamed of being British (or English, but most people I know what see them self as British, given that’s our nationality). I am ashamed to share a country with the idiots who march in support of far-right thugs like SYL but that’s not the same of being ashamed of my country or nationality.

How do you think it feels for minorities to see a crowd of thousands of drunk white men waving England flags and crosses?

I agree! The fact that people think that those who don’t support reform are left wing just shows how far the Overton window has shifted to the right. It’s shocking

They’re arresting elderly people at pro-Palestine events, as they have proscribed them terrorist activity. Therefore the biggest demographic on our domestic terror watchlists right now are vegan yoga practitioners and retired librarians.

This thread explains why I’m ashamed to be British, you’ve posted about a “family day out” like the behaviour of these racists is acceptable or beneficial in any way!

its embarrassing!
