A huge march against the Far Right

Put my name down for a march against the Far Left!

Unity against division doesn’t mean anything concrete.There were so many reasons for those on the march that it wasn’t unified about anything.

😂 Just as unlikely to happen here ( government wise) as the Far Right.

So what do the Iranian and Palestinian flags represent? Cossy

Solidarity, I would imagine.

I wish our flags hadn’t been “hijacked” I still them as representing our country and see many flying in windows and on cars during international sporting events.

If people hadn’t hung our flags everywhere, blinding following Farage and crew, then I have no doubt these people marching would have happily marched proudly waving our flag, along with others.

Unlike some, these marches believe in equality for all, love for all, hope for all, that includes all of us as well as our foreign brothers and sisters.

You do live in the sunny uplands Cossy!

There are two different demographics of Iranians who live here, those who fled the country after the Revolution, we lived next door to such a family for over 20 years in our previous house. Then there are those who support the Mullahs and the hard line regime, that has murdered so many of its brave young people, which begs the question why are they here and not back there.

That’s my question too, what the heck are they doing here if they love the oppression and the mullahs so much?

The level of naivety on here is astounding at times.

It certainly is.

... it wasn’t unified about anything.

Were you there? I was.

Sadly, a thread that Bluebelle started with good intention has very quickly been hijacked by the usual negative people. Time to hit that hide button.

I agree, those who back such a disgusting and murderous regime should go back there and live it!

When negative means true and realistic Graphic you’re at liberty to hide it.

I also agree, hence my previous post regarding the Iranian flag/s (which were not so called Shah’s flags) on the march.

Graphite not Graphic 🥴

Yup!

Let’s see the very worst in everyone and everything and let’s call those who hope for a better future for our children and grandchildren “naive”.

I know which approach I prefer, and thank you meandrogrog for your kind comment!

I live in the same world as the rest of us, I still have hope and empathy and 🙏🙏 I always will

So very easy to say those sort of things Cossy isn’t it?
The real world shows you how things stand, so what you mean is that you want Utopia … yes wouldn’t that be nice? Not going to happen tho.

Being Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm simply won’t get us anywhere.

500,000 march to oppose the "Far Right" yet the party gaining most votes is right wing Reform maybe that shows how far out of touch Londoners are.

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?

A dreadful advertisement for our country. As usual the hate fest of the far left has no time for the country they live in.
Heard more hatred from them towards ordinary British people who are so fed up with the way this country is going, admiring vile terrorist regimes, such as Hamas and the ircg being idolised on the streets our forebears fought to keep away, fascism was there . Far right has nothing on this lot.

Tho the police say it was more like only 50, 000 not the number claimed by organisers .

According to the BBC, the police have said the numbers were around 50,000 that’s an awful lot less than 500,000…

Ronib unfortunately our flag has been used and abused by the Far Right hate mob, so it may take a little while for us to reclaim it

The perfect time to reclaim it, I would have thought.

Your thread is the first I've heard of this.

ronib

sixahalf you do realise that the photos from this demonstration yesterday didn’t place it in the UK? It could have been anywhere. So if it’s okay with you, a whinge about St George is quite minor considering the loss of British identity currently being approved of by the msm.

I didn't see it as a whinge, ronib.

We rarely agree but I do agree with you about this; as I posted above, a perfect time to reclaim our national flags from the far right. They do not own them.

What is this loss of British identity? Really I don't get it.

Identify away to your hearts content wrapped in a flag if you wish.

Thank God, young people are so switched on.

Thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

What do you understand by British identity? sixandahalf

And 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇲🇫
Very kind, thank you.

Is this the only country where some people are ashamed of their national flags? 🤔
It does not belong to one extremist group.

It needs to be reclaimed.
