By all means support Tommy Robinson the ex-football hooligan.

By all means show your support for the anti-Muslim bigot.

By all means show your support for Islamaphobia.

By all means show your support for white supremicists.

By all means show your support for someone known as a violent school bully.

And by all means show your support for an ex-convict for violence, corruption and hate speech.

At least we are all now clear where you stand.

Agreed WW at least we’ve seen colours nailed to masts now. Good to know!

Ditto 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

As usual the crowd is turning nasty.
If this is what people are proud of they need to have a good few words with themselves.

Your friends are attacking the police now.

*Officers attacked with projectiles thrown from 'Unite the Kingdom' crowd
A group of protesters at today's "Unite the Kingdom" protests in London have attacked police officers, the Metropolitan Police said*

I don't think the Daily Mail is a reliable news source, given their biased right wing agenda.

Thank you for writing that. I was going to write it, but I get a tad fed up of being dismissed as a "leftie".

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

And this is the level of debate we have been reduced to. Open Islamophobia parading as justified indignation. The fact that most Muslims in this country have nothing whatsoever to do with Sharia law will obviously make no inroads.
And this will be the calibre of mist who are on this racist March.
Disgusting.

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.

For goodness sake FGT, you've been shot down enough on GN for fake news - proven fake news. Haven't you learnt anything?

Have you any idea what a Sharia court is and what it can do? Nope, thought not.

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.

Not silent. Not at all.

But they're not silent, are they? I have a perfect word for them, but it would probably be deleted if I use it in GN.

What the hell is wrong with you?

There are NO Sharia courts in the UK.

Get your facts straight!

Why, who has our country?

I was wondering about that too. Has it been towed out into the Atlantic or something?

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

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

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

It's terrifying.

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

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?

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.

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?

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

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