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.

@Lonelycrab yes I saw that too, I am aware

I was hoping to give a bit of context - I don't think Starmer's comments matched up with reality

But like @BatchCookBabe I can see that this thread isn't about reality there's not much point posting.

Anyway, final point
Police arrest figures are out

All they have said so far is that today's two protests combined have yielded 43 arrests

Combining those two protest figures seems very odd but maybe they'll issue a clear statement tomorrow

I'm just glad it went okay.

Come on now. He was great as Baldrick and in Time Team.

Or it didn't happen..I just imagined that coming from a petulant teen.
The extreme far right have been pushing this shit for decades it was paper sales,stickers to send the message now it's tech.
Same message.

About half the number who turned out in September.

They looked a lovely bunch 🤢

Starmers a complete tool . How on earth is insulting large swathes of the population ever a good thing , what an idiot .

Those 70 year old women there looked like proper thugs.

It was ordinary people from all walks of life coming together and I bet there’s people out there hating the fact that there was no trouble.

The 'reality' element of this thread was on thin ice from the moment the OP invented a fake name for the rally.

If you have information that makes you think the posts on this thread aren't true then do contradict rather than melt like snow.

Interesting you should mention a woman because they were in a tiny minority from all the photographs I've seen. Why is that?

One of them is Raise the Colours leader Ryan Bridge

Like these?

I think you’ve got the wrong march where women are seen as a minority 😂

If you look at photographs of the Tommy Robinson crowd it's overwhelmingly men.
Why is that?

We must be looking at different photos and videos. Plenty of women there including the speakers on the stage but you keep telling yourself that it was all men if it makes you feel better.

@BatchCookBabe asked for photographs of reality and they were provided she decided she didn't like that reality and retired to her bed.

I wouldn’t be part of all that but I’m happy for ‘British people’ being put first, as long as that means people who are law abiding, contribute and are good British citizens. So no thuggery, no extremism, no cronyism, no elitism, no criminals. People who pay their taxes, look after their kids, and are decent. That’s who I want to be ‘first’.

Loved that! Especially when it dawned on the thickos what it actually said. 🤣

Not ALL men but very few women - as even the police and many commentators noted

Why's that?

And why the poor turn-out? what's that about?

At least 90%+ if you’re being honest though wasn’t it. Hardly an even spread

No, I didn't say all men. I said overwhelmingly men.
I'm not telling myself anything. I'm asking you why you think it is?

Have you seen videos on the Daily Mail? So many men.

Why do you think that is?

A nice day out on the piss for the thugs?

The first couple of posts are so obviously scripted and planned.

Embarrassing.

I was on a train travelling into London this morning for a shopping day with my dd. There was a group of middle aged white men with Union Jack hats and t shirts in our carriage, talking about muslims not eating full English breakfasts, hairibos and general degrading opinions on muslim
women. Great family day I’m sure

No, British born people first, we come in all colours and religions.

Ooo is he struggling to keep the weight of his arm up.

Poor love.those Zeig Heil workouts take it out of you
