- ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march organised by anti-Islam activists
- Counter protest organised by ‘Stand Up To Racism’
- Police and Unite the Kingdom protesters clash
- Police say 9 arrested, ‘many more’ to follow
LONDON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - More than 100,000 protesters marched through central London on Saturday, carrying flags of England and Britain and scuffling with police in one of the UK’s biggest right-wing demonstrations of modern times.
London’s Metropolitan Police said the “Unite the Kingdom” march, organised by anti-immigrant activist Tommy Robinson, was attended by around 110,000 people, who were kept apart from a “Stand Up to Racism” counter protest attended by around 5,000.
It was a fascist march. 110,000 fascists vs 5,000 anti-fascists - what a sad day for the country.
So are they protesting them because immigration at the current conditions is causing issues? Or is it just the usual, “I hate their culture” rhetoric? It seems like the latter, and that’s something immigration policies will never look at, so seems a pointless protest.
But the rhetoric worked in the US and now their cripplingly low unemployment rate is getting even lower, offset by businesses shutting down. While the Presidents plans for a boost to domestic manufacturing is short by about 50 million people because they were just never there to begin with.
Actually, this also seems like a kind of Britain thing to do, to be honest.
Well this is disturbing
