And you spend the vast majority of your time on American topics.

 

Doesn't your own country need your advice?

The vast majority of threads in the World News Forum are discussing American topics.

 

Your baseless guess are not helping you make any on-topic comments are they?!

 

Refer too of this thread for the topic under discussion, it’s not me.

A St George's Day rally in London turned chaotic as riot police clashed with crowds, and a police horse was attacked near Downing Street. Mounted officers intervened after a group broke through a police cordon, leading to scuffles and footage showing a man striking one of the horses with an umbrella. The incident occurred shortly before the main rally at 3 pm, where figures like Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox joined the crowd in singing along to songs like Sweet Caroline.

 

 

The Metropolitan Police stated that officers had to respond when a group violently breached police blockades. Some critics pointed out what they saw as a "two-tier policing" approach, alleging that pro-Palestine marchers were treated more leniently. Video footage shared by the Met showed officers forming a cordon, only to be pushed past by a group, some waving flags, and others donning St George's flags, before mounted officers intervened. Laurence Fox took to the stage to make abusive remarks about Sadiq Khan. He called the London mayor a “dictator” before leading the crowd in chants of “get Khan out”.

 

 

A spokesperson for the Met explained, "The event is not due to start for an hour, and regrettably, officers are already dealing with disorder. There is an area allocated for this event in Richmond Terrace. This group went past it and continued up Whitehall. When officers formed a cordon and asked the group to turn around, they reacted by violently forcing their way through. Mounted officers intervened with horses to restore the cordon."

 

 

Despite the initial disturbance, the rally concluded peacefully, with no further incidents reported. Speakers at the event included Tommy Robinson, former leader of the English Defence League, and Laurence Fox, leader of The Reclaim Party. Robinson, who had been acquitted of breaching a dispersal order during a pro-Israel protest in November 2026, claimed he was attending the march as a journalist. The court found the dispersal order possibly unlawful due to an incorrect date on the paperwork.

 

While some attendees dressed up for the occasion, with one person even wearing a knight's costume while riding a horse, the event's overall tone was marred by the earlier clashes and concerns over policing tactics.

Or patriotism showing that they love their country...celebrating St Georges day is no different to the Irish celebrating St Patrick's day... or are they being hateful as well 

 

No. Those who celebrated St Patrick's Day around the world had fun and enjoyed trouble free events.

The knuckle scraping, St George morons in London ARE full of hate.

George Orwell summed it up:

" Patriotism is the love of one's country. Nationalism is the hatred of others".

The London thugs ain't patriots.

To quote your own words:

 

“topics of discussion on the forum are open to anyone to comment on the basis of one single qualification, that they are members of the forum.”

 

While I could post something about the subject, I won’t as I’m not a UK citizen so it’s best to observe.

 

Perhaps you’ll follow my example.

Well I would hardly call it abusive, to calling Sadiq Khan a dictator, he clearly is?

What a load of nonsensical Hyperbole. 

It seems as soon as a white person holds up a flag of the their country the are automatically classed as racist thugs, but carry Swastikas and that can be ok, it depends on the "context"

There aren't any horses present when these antisemitic marches are taking place, the police under Rowley and Khan are so transparent when it comes to policing, it is there for all to witness, those that want to witness it anyway!

So presumably you think Yousaf is a hater? Or are Muslim Scottish nationalists excluded?

Charging through police cordons, animal cruelty, abusive remarks.

 

It doesn’t look at all humorous to me.

 

 

 

Agree with you about the animal cruelty bit.

[simon43]

Personally, it is of little surprise to me that there is a growing number of right-wing English people who are outspoken in their views about the state of the country, immigration, deprivation etc. 

 

If you are a middle-of-the-road patriot, then your view is ignored by the government, by the London Lord Mayor, by elected MPs (who IMHO are nothing more than a bunch of corrupt b*st***s who line their own pockets, regardless of whart party they belong to).  I hold the same view for almost ALL elected representatives right across the world.  There are very, very few honest elected representatives.

 

I foretell that if the views and wishes of patriotic English people continues to be ignored by whatever government is in power, then widespread civil unrest will occur, possibly leading to the overthrow of the government by a combination of honest, patriotic citizens with the support of the armed forces.

Two-tier policing in London now clearly in evidence, a reminder that the London Met police report to mayor Khan.

If the US didn't go around causing mayhem all over the world we'd be very happy not to comment on things American. The POTUS affects the rest of the world as well as the US, and currently he's creating problems for other countries with his warmongering.

So, don't tell us not to comment about American politics.

Indeed. To anyone who knows anything about Khan's background and nature, it is of little surprise that the Met Police are allowing Pro Palestine/Anti Israel marches while threatening to arrest Jews and Patriots.

There are local election in May and a general election due.

 

There are a range of political parties contesting these elections.

 

Voters have a choice.

No need to politically label people. Even right-wing, nationalistic people have a right to freedom of speech but not to mayhem and property destruction.

Why do lefties always gleefully point put St George was from Turkey? Jesus was from Judea does that make following him somehow wrong?

You seemed to have missed out my opinion about corrupt, elected representatives. It is a waste of time voting when no mainstream political party has the gonads to do what is needed to restore order and to start giving power and preference back to the indigenous population and legal, integrated migrant communities.

Anyone carrying an English flag is 'far right' these days, if you suck up your information from the likes of the BBC and the Daily Mail who don't want you to think they are just ordinary people being patriotic. Seems OK for Americans to be proud of their country but it's become almost a crime in England.
