Unite the Kingdom and Pro Palestine marches Cup 16th May 2026

Tristan Tate! Is that one of the brothers charged with sex offences in Romania?

So, Reform's rejects do support him.
Thanks for the research Wyllow.

Thanks Allira, will have a look.

I ask again. Who is funding this man?

ChatGP says Tommy Robinson is funded by a mix of supporter donations, crowdfunding, media work and backing from a network of right-wing and anti-Islam activist groups, especially in the US and Canada. More recent reports alleged financial help from figures such as Elon Musk and Tristan Tate for legal expenses, though Musk has not publicly confirmed direct payments.

Thanks. More outside influence again by the sound of it, then .

Wayne King 🙈

I’m surprised it’s not Donald King.

Tommy Robinson isn’t even a real person

True. They don’t support Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, or any of his other known aliases, Paul Harris, Andrew McMaster, Wayne King, Stephen Lennon, or Stephen Yaxley either.

I suspected that the breakaway group from Reform "Restore" might support TR

I was right.

"Yes, leading figures from the Reform breakaway faction, Advance UK (often associated with the name "Restore"), openly support Tommy Robinson.

The party was founded by former Reform UK deputy leader Ben Habib, who has publicly backed Robinson and described him as a "political prisoner". Advance UK also openly sponsored and participated in Robinson's "Unite the Kingdom" marches in London.You can find more coverage of the faction's activities and alliances via The Guardian or Searchlight Magazine.

This is the AI response with references to look further, but its not hard to believe.

The sort of holier than thou attitude that doesn’t understand why people would march in the Unite protest is the reason that Reform will do very well at the next GE.😉

Reform explicitly do not back Tommy Robinson.

Oreo the annual Nakba demonstrations on a large scale in major cities round the world since the 1990's and in the UK in 2003 (there were smaller ones before).

Thats 23 years, every weekend the nearest to 15th May.

Now are you seriously going to tell me that the "powers behind the organisation" of the TR march didn't know this, and it wasn't deliberate?

JaneJudge

I'm not holier than thou, I've been described as an asshole on gransnet

still I'm not a racist or a fake

I don’t think anyone is accusing you of any of those four things are they?

There could be a rule/regulation brought in permitting only one march per day.
That could preserve our rights to protest peacefully.

I've at last understood why the two demonstrations happened on the same day which of course made no logistics sense as we have all been saying.

Every year there have been Nakba day demonstrations, some years quite small, for a very, very long time, whichever Saturday is closest to May 15th
It is, if you like, a "regular known booking".

But someone in the police sort of - well, wasnt aware/on the ball/didn't consult, whatever:

When Tommy Robinson came along to book Saturday 16th March,

whoever took the booking had not put "2 and 2 together" and the Nakba organisers had not yet put in the specifics.

So when the Nakba people made their booking, the "powers that be" could not cancel one or the other for obvious reasons

One might say, and I do indeed suspect, that Tommy Robinson knew quite well that Nakba demonstrations were going to take place since they have every year, and deliberately chose that day:

So I don't see it happening again. and the Wembley clash!

The TR march was booked first so the pro Palestinians can hardly moan about it.
It’s first come first served, Nakba day isn’t sacred in the UK so it’s up to the organisers to get it booked.

Is that a quote from upthread Allira?

Sorry, yes, a quote from foxie48 at 19.21

The march was covered briefly on the News & TR was shown during the coverage. So it's not "nothing to do with" him, the marchers are people who don't mind being associated with him presumably.

That’s because they can’t show their concern about what’s happening in the UK on the other ( pro Palestinian )march.
But on a march called Unite The Kingdom they can do.

Who funds him?
I think he asks for funding from his supporters.
Did Musk offer him money, at one time?

Is that a quote from upthread Allira?

Loads of other white men who believe they are the same as him whilst they live in their council flats and work their low paid jobs

I ask again. Who is funding this man?

Absolutely not but we are all white and born British.

Not sure where you live if your neighbours are all white and born British. Ours haven't been exclusively white British-born wherever we have lived for nearly 50 years.

That would seem to be very unusual now and many families have an eclectic mix of nationalities too.

We watched a clip in sheer disbelief,YAxley Lennon yobs dressed in Burqua being yelled at by other Yaxley Lennon yobs to take it off and show us your tits!
These MEN are ignorant animals ..carrying save our women placards ..and denigrating the women of a different culture by this abhorrent behaviour!
Time someone pointed them towards the truth
Attacks /rapes in the “UK” are committed by mainly WHITE BRITISH MALES…95% of attacks by men who look like them.

Naive was supposed to say nice 👌
