It’s London so miles from many and they still got well over 100k to turn up. Ignore it if you wish but many times the number will support but not be on the streets.
People will pretend this isn’t really a big deal up until the night the exit poll comes out showing a landslide for Reform.
Well just take a look at the resent local elections which way did that go? Imagin if that was the general election, and from what I can see momentum is only going one way.
Let’s not get complacent and dismissive. That’s how support for political movements can grow in the background. 4 years is plenty of time for continued momentum to result in a level of support that could challenge the status quo. That happened with the Scottish independence referendum (it didn’t pass but the SNP surged support for independence through consistent campaigning in the years before the vote, which caught the UK government off guard) and brexit (David Cameron agreed to a vote but didn’t think it would succeed)
lol coping is hard isn’t it. Can’t wait for the delicious tears come the general election. See you at the booth! Good luck.
‘People willing to go to london and risk arrest’ is never going going to be even close to ‘full mobilisation’. It is always going to be the peak of the iceberg. The rest of that iceberg will be at the ballot box.
As a kid I always found it odd that they couldn’t figure out how big ancient armies were. Turns out I needed to cut our ancestors some slack. Apparently we can’t do it in the modern day either. Same tribal reasons for wanting to exaggerate how big or small they were as well.
You forget that reform has years to still hammer away at this and recruit more people.
You should all be incredibly worried, especially if people continue to feel like things are getting worse rather than better.
No doubt tax rises and other announcements soon will push the needle further
My near neighbour last night at around 10.30pm was walking past my house, pissed, watching the Enoch Powell ‘Rivers of blood’ speech on his phone, whole chanting ‘Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy Robinson’.
Tragically It’s more widespread than you think.
This is nonsense.
This is why brexit happened.
Keep belittling them.
They are the silent majority and now they are getting loud. Complacency is a bad look here. The fascist playbook from America under Trump is being followed by reform here and if we don’t pay attention and speak up now, it’s only going one way.
And for every one that got out there were probably 30 who couldn’t be arsed and another 30 busy working, looking after kids, busy down the pub etc.
Maybe I need to try and take this to heart but things feel so bleak.
Oh blimey, its like brexit all over again. Please dont be complacent or think this weekend was a victory
At this point my only real hope is that Reform/Advance/Conservatives split the right wing nutter vote and something leftish or center wins, or all those parties eat themselves through the various crimes and self sabotage they do because they’re run by morons… but honestly, still not holding much hope.
It’s a lot more than they’ve managed since the days of Mosley. It’s an escalation and one that has support from billionaires and hostile foreign regimes. Downplaying the significance just so you can feel better about the current situation is just burying your head in the sand.
For now…
It’s a good sign but not the end, these people still hold sway and we need to stay vigilant
Wait they paid for their travel? Dam could have got a free ride to London for the day
Pretending this was nothing more is an awful take. Don’t be surprised when this gets worse because people didn’t take it seriously enough.
Those aerial shots don’t look like 100k to me… cope and spin is commonplace with MSM and Reddit. Might be only counting a section at main event which detractors are running with and not total protestors swarming the streets for miles. Arguably a million people. Counter protest with those Palestinian flag shaggers and pencil-neck antifa lot was only 5k reportedly which were facing against a group of patriots which is where footage of cops in riot gear and on horses is from and not actually where demonstration event was being held. Apparently Tommy’s twitter feed had like 2 million people watching during event and is at 6 million now. Then theirs Elon’s retweet (who also spoke at event) of event stream with like 33 million something. Dan wotton’s stream which I was watching at the time had 100k watching (there was windowed footage/cutaways showing masses of people marching through streets as the main event was going) and other at like 70k. Then there were numerous other people that were smaller channels streaming in attendance at event… most feed signals were terrible yet people kept watching and those in attendance had to make their own way there from around the country and locally, standing there in the pouring rain for what they believe in. Supposedly speakers payed for their own travel expenses. It was a huge success. Even Nigel couldn’t pull a crowd like that. You people are so pathetic and largely irrelevant now, honestly—have a day off will you.
Don’t get complacent – they still got the numbers, and they had to physically come down to London. In the polling booth, they can easily go a few miles and vote Reform and change our nation forever. Use America as an example – don’t take anything lightly.
Yeah BUT. Millwall were playing so that’s a few thousand fewer.
Please do not get complacent, I lived in the us during trumps first election cycle. It was impossible until he was sat in the White House. Silent majority is a very real issue.
The issue now is that these fascist will continue to grow. And since they are fascists they will do bad things to get their way. Whereas the good people will not want to do bad things to stop the fascist and hence the future will go to them.

The delusion of this post is palpable.
