The peace didn't last long then. In an absolute shock to nobody, protests involving far-right supporting individuals clash with police...

Stan that isnt really violent.  I've been to many protests and we have gone through the police.

 

Peeps let's keep context those numbers if they were violent could rip through

 

I didn't use the word violent, by the way...

Thats fine friend, what's your point, the march people are peacefully marching?  Are they aggressive, against the police?

 

U saying peace didnt last long.  What caused it.

Yes, trouble always seems to find them when they go marching. I get the point that a small number were arrested (obviously glad it's not more) but you can't deny that they have regular issues with police whenever there are these kinds of marches?

Lets look at what BBC and others are saying the clashes happened with the counter protesters.

 

Wtf or any sane being would want to counter protest 

 

This was there day, anything for anyone else.needs to look to themselves.  They purposely came to cause trouble, because that what happens.  Im sorry this is not free speech protest.

The counter protestors, standing for anti-racism, only came to cause trouble? I find that hard to believe, sorry. 

 

Also, isn't this quite ironic? 

 

Far right want to support free speech? But you can't do it on 'their day'? So you can only have free speech, but not when a group has planned a day to have their free speech? 

 

That kind of point just smacks of double standards to me.

Come on, counter argument are all coming from anti speech all here to cause trouble?  It was all peaceful, those that's arrive on the anti and guess what???????

 

The other points about there motives is a different discussion.  Mate I grew up in far right, but we all have to be objective and balanced.  That way we win.

Yeah, freedom of speech, but only on certain days 

[leicsmac]

Again, IMO it honestly doesn't matter that the majority of the demonstrators were peaceful and/or had "legitimate concerns" today.

 

The pathway that they're wanting to go down leads, with or without their consent, to a place where everyone not of the "right" skin tone is a second class citizen at best or a target for extreme violence and removal at worst.

Yep trouble does seem to follow them unlike the Palestine Action March which only had 1500 people attend & of that 1500 there were 890 arrests, ok most arrested under the supporting a proscribed group under the terrorism act but  there were still 17 arrested for assaults on police officers 🤷‍♂️ 

1500 - 890 (17)

110k+ - 9

 

yeah that’s the same

What personal experiences do people here have with illegal immigrants? Genuine question as i keep hearing it's the biggest issue this country is facing, yet I'm not sure I've ever seen one.

Actually went on a few dates with a hot asylum seeker, true story. She got leave to remain and is training as a nurse now.

I haven't claimed it's the same? 

 

For what it's worth I think it's a joke they're proscribed as a terrorist group but also that that many get arrested. Didn't some elderly women get arrested, as if she's going to pose a threat to society at 89 years old or whatever it was

Small percentage of total immigration. Right wingers like to focus on it though to distract you from the fact that the people they voted for trebled legal immigration.
