Two questions about yesterday's march

[Sausagenbacon]

I'm sure that someone can help me on this, but why does [whoever gives permission for marches in london] allow 2 conflicting marches on the same day? It seems that keeping the marches appart was the biggest problem.
From the news, it looks as though Elon Musk was broadcast from the screen on the BFI. Why did they give permission for it, as it was basically an incitement to overthrow the government)?

I don’t think the Unite the Kingdom march was full of violent racists. Most people are middle ground and reasonable and unlikely to be so passionate about a cause that they will organise a march so it will always be the extremists who do the organising.
I think the tired and reasonable majority saw a chance to protest against the constant swell of Islamism and antisemitism that is building in this country and played out constantly in the Gaza marches.
There is far too much pressure on free speech. Whether it’s lefties cancelling things or Islamists losing their mind when anyone disrespects their religion.
Wish there was a march for people who don’t march. We could have banners saying ‘calm down and be reasonable’ and tell the police we’ll be no trouble.

What a great idea .A march for the ordinary who just want a quiet life...no drama...no egos...no hatred for anyone with a different opinion.

"I don’t think the Unite the Kingdom march was full of violent racists."

That's absolutely true; it wasn't full of violent racists.

In fact, only a proportion of the proportionately tiny gathering were actually violent; the rest were just your standard passive racists who parroted slogans they'd seen on social media, or read in the Daily Heil, whist they staggered along the streets of my multicultural city, drinking heavily and waving cheap Union flags they'd purchased online.

Have to laugh the cheap flags jibe but always aimed at the Union or St George's flags. Nobody ever calls the Palestinian flags tacky. Maybe they're all made of silk and hand stitched by virgins.

Of course they aren't; trying to appear stupider than you are is rarely a good gambit.

Whilst their manufacture might well be the same, there is of course a difference in how those flags are being used. It's quite a subtle difference, I'll grant you, but it is there...

Only in your biased opinion.
.

It's ok to admit you don't understand the difference. Nobody will judge you for it.

Well, I mean, I will obviously, but then I live in ivory towers in London and look down on your class with a mixture of revulsion and curiosity.

There's no difference. A flag shagger is a flag shagger.

Revulsion and curiosity...

Aye right love.

"Unite" the Kingdom 🤣.

Good luck wi' that!

@ThisFastScroller why do you find the national flag revolting but the Palestinian flag acceptable? I’m not much of a nationalist and don’t wave flags but it’s weird to hate people in their own country waving their own flag. You know that many of the marchers are protesting about just that - being told to be ashamed of their country by the intolerant omnicause weekly marchers who want to disrupt the country.

Exactly- I mean they must all be uneducated, manual labour, racist and far right - well at least that's what my left wing progressive bubble tells me what to think.

Why can't working class people just be meek down trodden victims of the evil western capitalist system like they're supposed to be, looking to the likes of us liberal university educated and enlightened types to save them.
