*and inciting violence, there is no ‘the’

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.

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Why, who has our country?

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.

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.

It's not even his real name.

More than 100,000 people in central London have joined a march organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson

I ll say no more it’s devastating for this country
