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.

Do you think journalists and security would tweet themselves at the TR rally in an English flag saying they were proud of their country?
I think they'd be sacked tbh.

The Brighton crew have actually followed her to Substack and called her racist gammon there.

Honestly, I know virtually nothing about this Robinson fella and wouldn't either if these nutjobs didn't keep coming here to post threads about him. His significance is trivial but there's lefty maniacs publicizing him incessantly so I think they must all secretly fancy him.

If only they could go and get a glimpse of the man they talk about so much perhaps there lust would be sated?

It's all a bit pride and prejudice.

🤣
Right. Well maybe you should read up a bit about him and the EDL before telling me I'm being "absurd".

Wikipedia- probably too left wing for you but gives some facts about his background and prison sentences.

.

posting a picture of themselves in the English flag going on about being proud of our country?

Are you seriously saying anyone posting an England flag and expressing national pride is a racist? 😂

This is a parody surely?

Wait till the football Euros start next week, the “you’re all guilty of being fascists by association” threads will explode 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It’s completely hypocritical of Aja to ruin the Countess’s conference in Dublin because of a very tenuous and vague link with the far right and then attend an actual far right rally and give it flyers a month later. It was horrible of her to post that awful pompous statement with Not All Gays that ruined the Countess’s conference and it was downright nasty and bullying to hang out in the pub opposite the conference the day of the event. Now she’s crying bully

So of all the possible reasons why Aja and her girlfriend might go to that rally, the one you think the most likely is so she can indulge her racism.

Got it.

I'm saying anyone draped in an England flag and expressing national pride at a TR rally is far right, yes.

A bit like MAGA nutters. Nothing wrong with phrase "make America great again". Everything wrong with the type of people who wear MAGA hats to Trump rallies.

So, your telling me even white supremacists aren't white any more? This woke obsession with diversity has gone too far!!!

I can't be bothered to go back and check, but I'm pretty certain her hashtag said 'Terf Island'.

Do you even know what that means?

No. The reason I believe they were there is because they agree with TRs far right politics.
A lot of people don't call Islamophobia racism, so I'd rather not get into semantics about it.

If there was any genuine reason it would have come out by now.

The first two pages of the thread were people denying LWS were involved with the TR march and claiming "anyone can buy the leaflets"

Then we had "those two randomers aren't associated with LWS" as if GC feminists are stupid with the memories of goldfish.

And now some kind of ostrich like "she had a good reason".

Let's hear it then. Stop playing "oppression olympics" to distract from the facts (members of LWS were marching at a TR rally) and tell us what the explanation is.

Here you go. It is not about the hashtag. Everything about that tweet screams far right supporter.

Don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining.

If people wish to identify themselves with the words nutjobs and absurd it's nowt to do with me.

I see we have a photo posted of the subject of Brighton ladies attention. 😉

Whatever. I don't live in Brighton and have no connections to any of the "socfems". I just hate the far right and don't like seeing them infiltrating feminism. Stupid I know.

I fly the flag on my boat. Actually it's a marine law in harbours in many countries. We are all far right!

Let's hear it then. Stop playing "oppression olympics" to distract from the facts (members of LWS were marching at a TR rally) and tell us what the explanation is.

Haha!! Bloody hell, Cassie.

I'm beginning to think that maybe the reason you spend your entire life on here obsessing about women, is that acting like this in real life has resulted in you having no-where else to go.

"Let's hear it then".

"Come on, tell me, an Internet random who hates her, why this women you don't know was at a rally you didn't know about!!"

That's right. Terf Island.

That's not an England flag.

LWS isn't a membership organisation.

You are misrepresenting the thread, Cassie, loads of straw manning as usual.

Racists!

Aja is saying she's a brown person who supports her country, and that's racist according to Cassie.

The most obvious explanation might be that she feels strongly that she is proud of her country.

Given that it was a rally centered around policing concerns, it could also be that she has some concerns about policing.

You need to understand that a lot of people, most of them actually, don't consider that being at the same political rally with someone can contaminate them.

In much the same way many individuals who attended BLM rallies didn't worry or even really think that it might associate them with people who were communists, or wrote about wanting to destroy the nuclear family, or who wanted to pull police out of marginalized communities, or race essentialists.

They just wanted to show that they were for race equality, or against police brutality.

Are we sure they marched?

Maybe they walked? Or skipped? Or just pottered about?

Is it essential to march?

I used to march a lot when I served in the military. Bloody exhausting stuff. And there were always flags.

I'm obviously a racist gammon.

Aja is saying she's a brown person who supports her country, and that makes her a racist according to Cassie.

Anything other than abject self-flagellation and a vocal loathing of Britain is horribly racist and right wing, apparently.

OK. You have no alternative explanation.
Well I'm going yo say if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck I'll assume it's a duck until there is evidence to the contrary.
