Why do they protest for Iranian proxies again? I thought it was a peace in Palestine, during about half of the year (at least).

The best way to look at everything is to stop and check if you are being asked to love, or if you are being asked to hate. That’s your clue.

Cannot help but laugh that it’s a march against the ‘far-right’ by a group that heavily supports an ideology that is ‘far right’….meeting up with a group that heavily supports a ‘far-right’ ideology.

Lots of shoehorning groups in that article, some of whom will most certainly be ideologically opposed.

People getting angry about a protest which contains positive messaging, battling against a group who just want division and hate to hide their lack of policies or any coherent plan for the country 👀

Three hours ago, the Guardian was reporting “Hundreds of thousands expected to gather in London for march against far right” and now everywhere is saying thousands.
I’m guessing turnout is lower than hoped. Probably because of the incoherent nature of the march, all things considered.

A march against the ‘far right’? Or an excuse to push every other agenda going?

Nothing more cringe worthy than a middle aged posh lefty in a keffiyeh

To quote John Cleese:
“The biggest advantage of extremism is that it makes you feel good because it provides you with enemies… The great thing about having enemies is that you can pretend that all the badness in the whole world is in your enemies and all the goodness in the whole world is in you. Attractive, isn’t it? So if you have a lot of anger and resentment in you anyway and you therefore enjoy abusing people then you can pretend that you’re only doing it because these enemies of yours are such very bad persons and that if it wasn’t for them you’d actually be good-natured and courteous and rational all the time.”

Went to the independence march in scotland that also happened today. For the first time in a long while I feel hopeful for the future. The only thing we have to lose is our chains!

According to the article it’s two separate protests, one an anti-far right protest organised by the Together Alliance and another a pro-Palestine protest organised by the Palestine Coalition. They are merging shortly before Whitehall because that’s where they both plan to end up, but are not the same organisation.
For some reason they are using a picture from the Palestine march for the whole thing and seems aimed at stiring controversy rather than honest reporting.

There are several trade unions involved in this march like Unison, Unite and USDAW, with members that have ordinary working lives by default. I don’t understand why people here are assuming that everyone in this march are maladjusted freaks.
