these lot are going to be the reason nationalists rise and the UK breaks apart.

When they are against non-white people, the LGBT community, anyone they consider woke and women (you can bet many will have domestic violence accusations made against them), I am quite happy to not be united with them. If anything, groups like this cause more division than the immigrants they hate.
> Thousands have gathered in central London for a march organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, with a counter protest by anti-racism campaigners also taking place.
So “unite the kingdom” is very definitely marketing spin. Tommy’s lot don’t want to unite anything.
The Oil Barons and dodgy finance bastards rubbing their hands with glee as the ‘ March of the Stupid’ parades their ignorance and gullibility. Depressing collection of fuckwits led by charlatans and scammers. Down vote me all you like I don’t care – I’ve made my point while I’m still allowed to!
Why is this headline news? There are regularly larger pro-Palestine rallies that get little coverage (unless people get arrested)

As an Irish person with not much knowledge on this, I would imagine this would not be happening if working class English, Scots and Welsh did not feel left behind by the government.
I just hope it all goes down without trouble. We don’t need any of the sort of violence we’ve seen in States happening over here.
These guys want a fight, don’t give them the satisfaction.
If thousands of people are showing up to protest, then there has to be an underlying issue. You can disagree(and I do) with the protests, but you can not just criticise and expect them to go away. This a significant amount of people who have decided to act. Reforms poll numbers are significant. Just disagreeing and saying they’re wrong is ignoring the volume of people who are angry, they cant all be racist/sexist/fascist. There has to be something else going on.
We have to do more as a society to get to the heart of these issues.
My guess is that if we strip everything away, the actual root cause is poverty. These people are frustrated that they are poor or poorer than they were. They are misguided on where they are placing that blame, but i can agree with them being angry they are poor.
So we should probably all be directing our anger towards the people who are making us poor. The billionaires, the corrupt leaders, the corporations, the banks.
How do we on both sides of the political spectrum work together to tackle that? Because if we dont, things are going to get worse and they’ll keep pullinh the strings.

When things go south and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon gets into trouble again, I wonder which Mediterranean resort he’ll flee to this time.
Taking bets on whether there are more university degrees or domestic violence charges present today
Nice to see so many people proudly flying THEIR national flags.
Why have so many comments been removed? I don’t think any of them were unreasonable, very concerning
>The rally is set to include speeches from… Katie Hopkins.
This is all I need to know – I’m out.
Steve Bannon being a speaker at the protest should tell you all you need to know about the organisers of this whole thing.
‘Unite the kingdom’ by going after your Muslim and migrant neighbours.
Aye, really the values the UK should be promoting.
For those who have been claiming that the anti-immigration crowd aren’t necessarily far-right, I’m curious to hear how this many people attending an explicitly far-right protest, run by explicitly, well-established far-right leaders, isn’t some kind of indication of how far the Overton window has moved.
As far as I can tell, Tommy hasn’t softened or approached the moderate ground in anyway. People have simply gone towards him.
Which is “fine”. Let’s just not also pretend to occupy a moderate or sensible ground at the ultra-nationalist hotel burning convention 2025.
I know it’s a difficult pill to swallow for this sub but it’s probably one if not the biggest march the Uk has ever seen. The aerial shot is ridiculous.
Every village idiot and their friends are in attendance…
Cranks Gonna Follow Cranks.
Must admit am sick and tired of the narrative of Working Class people feeling left behind, I’m working class, I don’t feel left behind and I certainly wouldn’t blame people in a much worse position that I am for the ills of Normal Island.
That’s 50 years of Neo-Liberal bullshit.
The enemy is does not arrive in dinghies, they arrive in Limousines, Yachts and Private jets, like a fair few of Tommy-Ten-Names’ list of speakers…
110k estimate.
“Unite the kingdom” half the presenters are American far right grifters….
What’s unfolding in the UK is quite mesmerizing, people saw the trump playbook and they want it here.
Amazeball
The really infuriating thing is these people will be the first to pull the shocked pikachu face when their “haha i don’t like them boats nothing to lose” vote for Reform causes the minimum wage to be scrapped and the NHS to be sold away to US big pharma.
Hundreds of thousands there now, at a rally organised by the most public racist, fascists in Britain with speeches from some other vile humans.
We are cooked.
A who’s who of racists, wife beaters, xenophobes and tax evaders.
Facial recognition software must be doing overtime.
