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.

I am sick of these expensive Pro PALESTINE marches being accepted. Is Starmer really not able to read the room

Dear oh dear....

Right

@Lonelycrab what do you mean "as bad as last time"?

Last time the police said there were approximately 100,000 in attendance

23 arrests
One of whom was a counterprotester

Apparently, pro Palestine protests average about 400 arrests at the moment

Notting Hill carnival was about 500 last time and that passed off peacefully, in official terms.

I know posters are getting Reform and Restore in a muddle and the protest has nothing to do with them anyway!

I watched the last one live on YT

The bit where the “patriots” were lobbing bottles towards the police horses in Whitehall trying to protect those counter protesters particularly warmed my cockles.

Those counter protesters were mostly middle aged women and men; the police weren’t even interested in them. They had their backs turned as they weren’t the people that were inciting violence.

I can link a video if you’re unaware.

Looks really heart warming and family friendly 💕.

Wonder if they were reeling round central London blind drunk, wearing a Union Jack and urinating everywhere like last time! ‘‘Twas a sight to behold

Have you got the footage/pictures/proof that this happened?

Pics or it didn't happen. Grin

Are we now congratulating the far right on not rioting?

@BatchCookBabe Today 20:45 "Some of them are well educated, sensible people"

@EvangelicalAboutButteredToast Two seconds later "I rather like the chants of Keir Starmer’s a wanker 🤣"

Some, but definitely not all eh @BatchCookBabe ?

This doesn't mean they're not well educated sensible people who welcome diversity. Confused

No matter how much you want it to.

You may love Starmer, but you are in a VERY tiny minority my dear..... Wink

OK, I'll bite.

Not all people who want British born people to be put FIRST for a change, are far right 🙄

And no-one is congratulating ANYone, people are merely pointing out that it's utter nonsense, that people who are not LEFT wing, are trouble makers, and uneducated knuckle-dragging thugs!

You don't have to "love Starmer" to find bigotry and nationalism unappealing you know.

They're not far right. They're ordinary British people. Remember?

I wasn't referring to the people chanting.

I was referring to the poster who followed you instantly proving you right that only some are educated and sensible sensible. Others like to hear people chant "wanker".

Seriously, if you think wanting British born people to be put FIRST for a change is bigotry and nationalism, then I can't help you I'm afraid.

You crack on with bashing anyone who isn't left wing... I'll leave you to it...........

From what I can see online it was peaceful

Sadly, I have been freaked out by seeing footage a different group shouting "shoot him in the neck like Charlie Kirk" - it's not clear to me who they meant but some people are saying they meant Tommy Robinson.

Unfortunately, the Metropolitan police don't seem to have used their facial recognition cameras on other groups. Because that actually is an incitement to violence.

I wonder if Keir Starmer will suggest we go after those people. It's okay, I know the answer.

Imagine the uproar if this person they were shouting about was someone Jewish!

I don't want you to help me, thank very much.

By the way, I'm not left wing, so that rather deflates your argument.

ProudCat · 16/05/2026 21:23

Yes, very peaceful. I mean they arrested one guy on his way to the march who they suspected of a hit and run / GBH earlier in the week, and his mate who was intent on attacking police officers.

Lovely crowd. Makes me proud to be British.

Not a coincidence.

Nope, never said white Brits only, and I don't mean white Brits only. No matter how much you keep repeating this over and over. I have no idea why you keep saying this. Are you OK?

Some posters on this thread are proving me right rather spectacularly though, with what I said on my first post on it. 😆

Cheers guys. Smile

I can see how the thread is going though, and I CBA, so night night. Smile

99% of the county think he is a wanker @FoulBlister- get off your high horse

No hes as thick as mince and will pay a heavy price for calling British taxpayers right wing thugs while ignoring the abuse and incitement to violence spewing from his Pro Pally mates

TemperanceWest · 16/05/2026 21:36

This march? Yeah, lovely decent people. Sensitive imaged as it is really offensive.

Sensitive content

Lonelycrab · 16/05/2026 21:37

So what were the numbers?

60 or 70 thousand at best? Certainly not more than 100k.

Out of a population of c 25 MILLION !!(at a guess) in the south of England many of who could quite easily attended.

Unite the kingdom? More like a small minority who think they own it. They don’t represent any of the people I know and yes before you ask we’re all white British and this lot we want nothing to do with. Unite that. You don’t represent us

Tiny fraction of the country. But thanks for not smashing things up or attacking the police quite as bad as last time, nice one.

MariaMagdalenaa · 16/05/2026 21:39

Tony Robinson himself is a thug so these “ordinary British people” all came to a march organised by a thug.
I had to be in London and on the tube today and it was just a bunch of people delighted about being able to openly express their racism. Didn’t look or sound like having too many brain cells.

I don't have a horse but thank you for your time.

Do you actual stats for the wanker thing? Or did you just make that up because you don't like him?

TemperanceWest · 16/05/2026 21:40

This is a fabulous moment from the march.
