This must be a sad day for England

It's not even his real name.

Very sad and it’s scary too that people are so easily ensnared into such divisive thinking. It doesn’t bode well for the future.

Or a joyous reminder of what it is to be British. An amazing sight. Families, young and old, peacefully protesting. Lots and lots of women are there, I notice and not a few black people, too.
And thousands upon thousands of flags.

It is a wonderful day for the United Kingdom. United they stand

TR organised today but not that many are supporters of his. All the flags from the UK are out there. People want their country back and they are showing that today

Yes a sad day for ALL the UK. I wonder how many the met police will arrest, probably not Tommy Robinson and his gang of racist thugs , they seem to be bullet proof.

Why, who has our country?

Seriously, I cannot believe I am reading this.

You are a supporter of Stephen Yaxley Lennon and his followers.

Flags?

It is terrifying and shameful.

Please nobody start bleating about how I am attacking a poster.

65 Sharia courts in England for a start. Reported in the Daily Mail yesterday. I mentioned them months ago and was shot down on here. We should ALL be bound by only one law in the UK. A Muslim professor was saying the same thing on television a few days ago. He was horrified by their existence HERE. Totally unnecessary he said even for civil disputes amongst neighbours and cousins.

Free speech & courteous debate is to be welcomed on here. ✔️

So many flags too - the Saltire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 the welsh flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 the ROI trichlor. ….

If they don't support TR, why on earth go to the time, effort and expense of going on a march that he's organised? Surely that's supporting him?

Rampant nationalism, never something to celebrate, is not about what is good about the UK, is all about intolerance, prejudice, and racism, masquerading as national pride.
Yaxley Lennon and his thugs are criminals who have been in and out of jail for GBH, domestic violence, and the inciting violence.
If people want to associate themselves with them is their call but they should know just who and what they are supporting.

*and inciting violence, there is no ‘the’

Fried, really, the Daily Mail, a newspaper that has in the past been fined for false reporting?

Don't tell me that they are staring to fight with the police and that the riot squad has been called in?

It's terrifying.

I'm normally an optimist, but these days I fear for my children and any grandchildren I may have.

FriedGreenTomatoes, I totally agree with you. I think some people have been misled. It is not at all far-right to be patriotic and mostly it is the Silent Majority who are out there today.

How do you feel about the time Yaxley Lennon’s lot attacked the police during an Armistice commemoration?
Did you feel proud to be British then?

Precisely.

FGT 👏👏👏👏

And it’s really scary that Sharia courts are allowed in England they should be banned!

Not silent. Not at all.

I was feeling that way too this morning.

I can hardly bear to watch the news. How have we become so polarised? What happened to reasoned debateand discussion?

It’s a sad day for Britain. Yaxley Lennon is a racist thug. How dare he hide behind our flag?

Flags worn by individuals attacking police officers. How proud they must feel of themselves.
