“Football lads alliance”. That’s worth a few chuckles on its own.
This is quite interesting to listen to, Clase, if you can ignore what passes for interior decor in the Marxist home! What has him rattled is that this has the mushrooming potential to bring tens if not hundreds of thousands of 'working class' folk out on to the street and 'the left' finding itself on the wrong side, as the self-proclaimed vanguard of the proletariat.
Another thing 'the left' is tying itself up in knots over is how to counter claims made yesterday by a 'reactionary ex-services speaker' when their own typeset bible is publishing the same thing the day after.
What was the march yesterday calling for? The immediate deportation of anybody who has fought for ISIS and somehow made their way back here and the internment of islamists on MI5/6 watch lists. It's not what you would call a minority view any more.

Yeah but come on. The “Football Lads Alliance”. (I’m ignoring the missing apostrophe to be kind). F*cking grow up mun.
I think the point here is that football is in the main supported by working class people and that those people have had enough of the way things are. Extremism, terrorism, the pc brigade, liberal lefties and the media hell bent against Brexit. Take your pick but there's a lot of people frustrated at what's happening in the country whose voices are not being heard. Maybe just maybe this is where things start to turn. 30K isn't bad for a first time, if they'd done it in the summer the turnout might have been even higher

It was their second march. The first one was in June.

What's in a name? It's just your epitomic sprat to catch a mackerel. If this continues to grow, continues on its present trajectory from 10,000 on the first demo to 30,000 on the second, by various accounts, what then? If I had to hazard a guess it's going to see somebody very much like, if not actually, Douglas Murray striding centre stage as spokesman for something like a re-born Union and Reconstruction movement. A pressure group that would terrify Westminster with it's ability to bring cities to a standstill at the drop of a hat and ram home its agenda. Fanciful? Perhaps, but you can be sure that there are those behind the scenes of this thinking along those lines.
Where was I when all this was going on? By way of burnishing my own impeccable 'working class' credentials I spent the day down in St David's Cathedral clad in a rather fetching Harris Tweed suit helping schoolchildren translate the Latin inscriptions on the various gisant effigies.

Surely an opportunity missed . He could have joined hands with DI , Dr John and sung some stirring rebel songs ;maybe even tw@tted some Jews en route.
I'm confused as to why the Welsh seemingly prefer Rugby Union and have a Cricket team when its clearly a middle class game. Rugby League ,utterly working class, never took off in Wales . How odd is that. The (former) miners of the valleys should be playing the (former) miners of Cas ,Featherstone and Dewsbury

The former miners are all in wheelchairs after you put them there.
The first ever recipient of a Planet Swans Lifetime Achievement Award.
They're better at organising a protest than us.! Seems to be alot of people are unhappy with politics/Goverment.Catalonia,Russians,South Brazillians.Aslong as everything is done peacefully and in the right way.

Rugby Union is most definitely a working class sport here in my homeland. Maybe different in your country, granted.
I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.
I will say there has been up to this point (without wishing to do a Kilkenny), i didn't see any footage from the event from BBC or Sky News etc. certainly not at the time of the march anyway.
Something feels a bit different about this one, as opposed to your EDL and Britain First nonsense.

Let’s hope so, but the apparent enthusiastic embracing of Tommy Robinson probably doesn’t bode well for this being anything other than the nonsense you referred to under a different (and really stupid) name.
Lots of ex service and Police at the march. Robinson was there to interview people for his Rebel tv service. The next march is up north and despite the media blackout the numbers will increase.
I happened to be there yesterday - obviously not at the march, but in the Strand and around that area. The police had cordoned off the road we were walking along with little nephew so asked them what it was about and where they were to avoid it with the little one.
Policeman in charge of the blockade in Trafalgar Square said it was the Football Lads Alliance (or at least I heard the football bit) and when I asked what's that about then, his response was 'usual EDL lot with a different name, same faces as every other time'. He did go on to say 'although at least this time they haven't caused any fuss'.
For balance, he also said 'and it's our usual Leftie friends out as well protesting about them, although they haven't caused any fuss either'.
