I wish Id been there! Been laid up with medical problems beyond my control but so happy to see so many good people out there!😍

That's intriguing Daisy. Our posts may be independently analysed for bias and tone?

Yes, Marmia. If you put your own post in you can ask it to give you a version that says what you want to say but in the tone you want to use.

Of course the people can be offended simply by the truth if they don't agree with you.

Do you use AI at all at the moment for anything? It's a usefull tool.

So very grateful to all those who were on this demo in London. Gave me back some hope for the future. Would have loved to have been able to be with them - I did my share back when I was younger!!!!
Yes ,it was all peaceful and have heard personally from several of those who were on it, what a great united feeling it gave them all.
The flags are totally unimportant, it is the people who matter!!!!

I 100% agree .. coupled with the amazing turnout for the No Kings Marches (7.5 million estimated) 🥰🤩

Then use it for your own posts DAR but don’t be repeating other posters comments along with an AI interpretation of their ‘tone’.

Couldn’t help but wonder where were the Union Flags and St George’s Cross flags?? Was this really the future of the UK? Iranian and Palestinian flags but not our own plus of course a video from Elon Musk. What’s not to like?

'Traditionally' Brits were secure enough in their identity and history as a mongrel nation to mock the insecure Americans for their flag veneration. We were actually taught this at school - the explanation given was that the USA was a very young nation (obviously no one counted the thousands of years of indigenous occupation!) and that they would get less sensitive about bits of cloth when they had more history.

MSM managed to ignore both the anti far right march in London and the many No Kings marches in the US, where numbers totalled about 8 million.

The French go in for flag flying and they are a very old nation. As do many other countries.

I've seen it on multiple news stations. A lot were flying the brutal Iranian regime flag which is confusing, how can anyone supporting human rights back that. Strange times.

What’s a mongrel nation? I know British people love dogs ….. ??Seakay

I'm always puzzled by what this 'Far Right' is, that all these high-minded virtue-signallers are marching against, and I'm thinking that if I'd actually suffered under a real far right government, such as Nazi Germany, I might feel that what I went through was not appreciated. And before anyone says that today's 'right' is the thin end of the wedge, what happened to personal choice and a variety of viewpoints?

Was it the brutal Iranian flag or just ‘the national Iranian flag’ being flown by Iranians over here showing solidarity with Iranians presently being bombed.
There is a huge difference.

Traditionally, when we were at school, the flag was seen as a symbol of national pride. We all flew flags for the Coronation.
They had wooden poles and were made of cotton.

I do not ever remember mocking the Americans for flying their flag, although perhaps some did.

Nonsense. Independent estimate no more than 50k. The “far right” as you call them are the majority of decent people in the country who want to see the back of this two tier govt.

There are so many rallies etc going on country wide which are never reported on on national TV. Makes you wonder who's actually in charge of what we see?

The islamists version with Arabic writing supporting the regime not the original flag with the Lion and sun.

and what exactly is far right, is it hard working normal people who pay their taxes and are sick and fed up of their treatment from the far far left who are ruining this country, if you feel so strongly you can always home an immigrant

Anyone who believes the far left is running the country is simply wrong.

I quite agree, the BBC gave us a report on tiger woods driving and missed the march!!! thats why they are getting a hard time for not representing the people

Agreed.
Or even the far far left!

A video has been uploaded showing the March against the ‘Far Right’ ‘ to show unity and citing the Far Right’s policy of hatred and division . It unfortunately shows a particularly virulent argument between a Muslim lady and a LGBT man which resorts in to physical jostling as she says that he is not wanted here!
“ Tempers flared at a large demonstration in central London on Saturday when a Muslim woman told a man draped in a rainbow flag to leave, declaring “we don’t want you here” and that “you disgust us”. Video footage from the Together Alliance event, which has circulated widely on social media, shows the man – who appeared to be taking part in a “Queers for Palestine” contingent – arguing face-to-face with the woman in a pink hijab on a pavement near Whitehall”

A good friend went with her daughter and I am ashamed that I knew nothing about it. My mum marched against the Iraq war when over a million marched. She also marched against Moseley and the black shirts as did my grandad. It looked a joyful, peaceful gathering and numbers don’t matter do they? It is raising awareness that counts.

Has it changed anything?

Thank you for your post. I am currently living in Florida and wake each morning with a dreadful feeling about what terribly hateful thing will happen today. I am fearful for my country and in turn for the world. I attended one of many marches on Saturday morning. It was heartening to see so many people who are as worried as I. I wish our system allowed a recall election. Unfortunately, the power of impeachment lies with an equally corrupt and hateful Congress. I’m hoping nothing occurs that will prevent us from voting in a new Congress in November. Please, keep fighting against the right. The hatred towards minorities here is frightening.

Farage for PM!!

I agree with you on everything. What has happened to this country and its people is a disgrace when we can’t even fly our own flag
