Tommy Robinson

[PalazioVecchio]

The BBC coverage of today's demonstration is laughable. The say there are 100,000 - there are more. They say there has been 'significant aggression' but they have only arrested 9 people. They say there are 5,000 counter-protestors - there are far fewer, some hundreds perhaps.

reminds me of them describing the Notting Hill carnival as 'mostly peaceful'

Seen a lot of good people this morning wearing their medals and england flags. I wished a few well as they were heading up.

Marching through Central London. Some are saying its the biggest Political demo crowd, Ever.
Its certainly bigger than The Peasants Revolt. And, Watt Tyler, the leader of that demo was stabbed by the Mayor of London.

And this week, we have seen the surname Tyler going from hero to zero.

Bigger than 80's CND? Around a million.

A million morons.

BBC calling it a 'Tommy Robinson rally', rather than it's actual name, "Unite the Kingdom". Dozens of officers injured they say, and play down the numbers. Their article is a long tirade of descriptions of chaos and violence, talking up the 25 arrests.

Notting Hill though:
This year's Notting Hill Carnival had "far fewer" incidents

Yeah, fewer than the 8 stabbings and multiple sexual assaults, and 423 arrests.


I'll never pay these c**** a licence fee.


EDIT. Guardian calls it a "Far Right Rally". This language is highly offensive.

Police assaulted as far-right rally led by Tommy Robinson sparks clashes

More than 110,000 people join Tommy Robinson-organised protest featuring racist conspiracy theories and hate speech

www.theguardian.com

And this kind of rhetoric

Far right’s show of force leaves Met desperately kettling counter-protesters​

Police almost overwhelmed by brawlers whipped up by Tommy Robinson and his guest demagogues

Total propaganda

The real British come out:

According to media sources we can describe as 'oppositional' probably somewhere between 110 and 150 thousand attend a protest rally that has received no mainstream coverage nor support.....utterly dwarfing the state sponsored counter groups.

Tommy Robinson organised it and let's not forget how certain posters on here have suggested that he's an extremist with no real support in the country.

No, they are the extremists with no real support in the country. They would receive nothing like this support.

Indeed, this is how the BBC portrayed the Notting Hill Carnival.

Notting Hill Carnival: Arrests but less serious violence, says Met

More than 400 people were arrested at the event, but police say fewer serious incidents took place.
