Crowds gather in central London for rival protests led by Tommy Robinson and ex-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn

1. Didn’t see the word rival there and wondered what the fuck I’d missed

2. The people in the pictures look exactly how you’d expect them to look.

3. We want our country back!…. from divisive grifters and bad actors seeking to destabilise us.

   Including convicted criminals like Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, whose rap sheet includes:

   – assaulting an off-duty police officer
   – stalking
   – libel
   – fraud
   – drug possession
   – using false passports

   Edit: As requested, it should also be noted, Yaxley-Lennon associates with, or has associated with several EDL members convicted of child sexual offences.

4. Nothing really new, I remember the National Front marches back in the Seventies.
   And people protesting against them.
   Eventually the National Front became more irrelevant.

5. No wonder why some comments here are reasonable today. I guess most of the usual suspects went to Tommy Robinson gathering.

6. Agree or disagree with the cause I will always advocate for people’s right to peacefully protest

7. Ahhh this sub.

   Patriotism = must be racist

   Waving the national flags = definitely racist.

   The religion of peace burning flags of this country and wanting to turn it into a Muslim caliphate = perfectly fine.

   Jeremy Corbyn the anti semite saying no to fascism = definitely legit.

   Anyone notice the Israeli PM commenting on the “Gays for Palestine, is like Chickens for KFC”..

   This sub really needs to change its name to Anti UK.

8. I seen a few of them around in central london today and i find it funny because with all the union jacks they just look like the tourists who have gone overboard at the I ♥️ London shop lol

9. Wonder how many of those in the photo actually realise that the so called English patriot, Tommy Robinson, is an Irish national. There are flags of St. George and a few Union Flags in the picture. Where are the Irish ones?

   Robinson, Yaxley-Lennon, was arrested recently in Canada. The arrest forms clearly stated that he was an Irish citizen. Does he have dual nationality? Or is the fact that he has taken Irish citizenship allow him to seek refuge in Europe and take advantage of protection under EU laws and the ECHR. The irony of it all. A man that protests against authorities protecting refugees and immigrants from persecution via Human Rights and the ECHR, uses the very institutions to protect his own sad cowardly arse.

   All those sad fuckers in the photo are probably totally unaware, or choose to be ignorant, of their great leader using the very protections, privileges and rights that he rails and protests against.

10. Love that ‘Lest We Forget’ flag.

    What’s that? Lest we forget the *last* time right wing nationalism in one country became big enough to create an issue across Europe?

    lest we forget, let’s do it again, eh?

    It’s not like a fire drill. You don’t have to practice it once a century to make sure everyone knows how. Some of us won’t forget which side of that whole thing our grandparents were on.

11. Absolutely love the irony that in an ‘England for the English’ protest there’s still yobs carrying Israeli flags. They have absolutely no critical thinking capacity

12. Can’t wait for no one involved going to met with sentencing even close to just stop Oil

13. You mean Tommy Robinson, Steve Yaxley-Lennon, convicted Fraudster and Irish national?

14. Why are they blocking roads? Shouldn’t they be at work?

15. Good to see national flags of this country being flown in London – makes a change from the flags of known terrorist organisations being flown freely in the capital of the UK.

    Left-leaning people will continue to stick their heads in the sand as to why large gatherings of this nature take place.

16. Shocking. Racist and fascist Tommy Robinson runs protest involving people committing assault

    Corbyn at a counter protest supporting peace

    But of course lumps Sky News the two together, because anyone but Corbyn

17. Clearly the reasonable position is somewhere in the center between fascism and anti-fascism 😀

18. Another fun right wing family gathering event ruined by left wing I guess. Can’t wait to read the ‘Leeds is jihad capital of UK’ and we want aar contry back’ comments tomorrow once they sober up.

19. Fantastic to see patriotism and British flags in our capital for once.

    I am seeing Robinson getting a lot more exposure, presumably as people realise the things he has warned about are coming true.

20. In the video, the girl at 0:15 looked hot lol. Though I doubt she stood for what the others were there for. Probably just forced to attend. Same goes for her friend.

21. >Several Israeli flags were also being flown.

    As is the way with the modern far-right

22. Should we make a prediction about which one has racist chants and multiple fights?
