Tommy Robinson and Let Women Speak

[eatfigs]

I've only read about this on Twitter so there's a chance this is being taken out of context, but it looks like Let Women Speak were part of Tommy Robinson's rally in London this past weekend:

This doesn't sit right with me at all. I've been to LWS events and thought I knew what they were about. I've argued against the guilt-by-association tactics that some activists use against LWS when male intruders have turned up to the events, like the neo-Nazis in Melbourne.

But here we see the opposite, LWS deliberately attending far-right fascist marches. This seems inexcusable to me.

It’s really odd to me how invested people are in hounding down people on the internet they dislike

Not all people think like that

Pathetic. Of all the people at that rally you just happen to pick on Aja?

Hmm. A Black woman is a racist who sides with white racists, who don't like non-whites.

OK. I see.

"Fascist, you're all fascists! So there!"

Rik, is that you?

Oh I know. Poor Aja. Just happened to find herself at a far right fascist rally. Just happened to tweet herself there being positive about "our country" Then just happened her girlfriend was handing out LWS leaflets so it got posted on here. Then just happened her girlfriend has been vocal on twitter in the past and so I knew who she was.

Just think. All this could have been avoided in so many ways .

I guess you also think women can't be misogynists.

That's exactly what I hear!

Seriously, you think Aja's a racist?

Why target people like that on social media?

There’s plenty out there saying why it’s not a good way to go. Dial it back.

Oh look. KJK definitely has no involvement in who hands out her leaflets and wouldn't want to be associated with far right followers of Tommy Robinson at all #sarcasm

well do you or not? instead of hinting, smearing. Do you think Aja is racist?

I think she went to a far right rally headed by racist thug Tommy Robinson and tweeted about it. Hard for me to fathom why some one not racist would be at a far right rally hosted by a racist.

I can't say more than that now she's taken her twitter down, suffice to say there was plenty on there that was consistent with the behaviour on the marches.

Hard for me to fathom why some one not racist would be at a far right rally hosted by a racist.

Nope. Lots of people who don't follow Robinson would be there. Journalists for one. Security. So it's not 'hard to fathom'. Are you seriously suggesting though, that in Aja's case, you think it's because she's racist?

Louis Theroux has met with countless far right extremists and has made documentaries about it 😮 #mustbeafascist

I've noticed a real tendency among elements of the left to get particularly offended if people of colour don't behave and hold what are considered the correct views.
It's quite apparent with some senior Tory politicians too.

Yes, this is interesting.

We know that it's of the rallies or protests related to kid's schools, in the UK and elsewhere, have included a lot of Muslim parents, who have real issues with their kids being taught this stuff.

If there were actual Muslims at the pro-Palestinian rally, they might well find they were receptive. Although some such rallies seem to be mostly white, secular westerners.

Ah lovely to see Rik there. Timeless.

This thread is a theatre of the absurd.

Some people are D students no matter how hard they try.

Oh come on.

You are clearly trying to imply that because she was at the rally, she is a racist.

Have you even fucking thought about that? You are saying this black woman is a racist and ok with racism. Not even some kind of indirect racism that most people would not even call racism, but standard neo-nazi racism.

Do you expect people to take that seriously?

Do you not even think for a moment, "gee, that seems unlikely, I wonder if there could be a different explanation?"

Why are you making this about Aja?

I know why. Because it suits you to divert from what's actually happened onto an individual.

I don't know her. I have no idea if she's racist. But as I say, it's very hard for me to fathom why anyone not racist would be at a Tommy Robinson rally. I would rather boil my own head than go near anything organised by him.

What explanation do you think there is for someone being at a Tommy Robinson rally and then posting a picture of themselves in the English flag going on about being proud of our country?

If someone goes to far right rallies and then tweets themselves using far right iconography and language, it is a reasonable conclusion that they are far right.

I'll ask you as well. Do you think women can be misogynists?
