This is sort of where my amusement or bemusement lies.

It seems ‘far right’ is a sledgehammer term to blanket dismiss anybody who isn’t aligning with the current narrative. It also seems quite obviously incorrect - you look at the reports of this evil and political monster that is the ‘far right’ and you look behind a few blokes going ‘are they back there, behind them?’. You soon realise no, they’re talking about those few blokes, white British, with a few pints in them and posing as much of a threat as guests from a wedding drunkenly spilling into the streets.

Where’s the banners? Where’s the uniforms? Where’s the masses, with their manifesto, hell bent on installing a fascist regime and posing a very real and ominous threat to us all? It’s all quite an illusion, sincerely underwhelming off the back of the reporting, perhaps to distract from the fact that when we should be quietly and reverently paying our undying respects to those that did die for our country and others, 300,000 storm the streets of the capital (supposedly) for an issue on a different continent, some even overtly supporting the terrorist regime equally brutalising the inhabitants of the subject country.

Don’t get me wrong, the deaths in Israel from the terrorist attack and the ones in Palestine, including many children which tortures the soul and mind, are absolutely awful and you wish would come to an end. To have our capital overrun on Remembrance Day however seems more of a power play than anything else and it’s surreal that this event takes precedence. Of course, those few who dare to have any grievance against this must be the evil of all evils, or best to paint them as such anyway so as to discourage any further scrutiny or rumblings from others of the whole thing.

You can protest anything and everything in this country and we’ll attach a nobility to it, unless it is for this country and it’s history, in that instance you’re racist and ‘far right’. I notice as well the BBC headlines I’m the summaries are almost exclusively about the ‘far-right’ with the occasional add on or quiet mention of antisemitic chanting, breakaway groups from the pro-Palestine mob, a bizarre boast about successful protection of the cenotaph (the very fact it needs protection is bonkers) and also Yvette Cooper putting her usual thick commentary on things condemning the far right and saying we should be celebrating Remembrance Day as if nothing else was going on simultaneously and that’s the only news. It’s beyond bizarre.

I wholeheartedly agree.

If I carried or wrapped myself in a Palestine flag, I would be dubbed as "Pro-Palestine". I did similar with the great "Union Jack" and I would be labelled a violent member of the "Far-Right".
Any display of patriotism outside one's abode, for instance a 'Union Jack' on a flagpost, and the narrative is about the 'Pied a terre' inhabited by "Far-right extremists".
Disgusting.

I am happy to own the term far/dissident Right.

But what you saw yesterday, was NOT from my area of political discourse. Every single influential voice from my sphere was urging people to stay away. Proclaiming it for the very clear trap it was.

Tommy Robinson (and yes, I know it's not its real name and continuously telling us all this is just f***ing tedious now) is a full-on Israeli asset. Makes no bones about that and him stirring this s*** up yesterday has to be seen in that context.

With this entire lunancy yesterday nothing more than an attempt to some how link Israel's 'fight' with that of the European Right. Which it is not.

The Pro-Palastinian march was going nowhere near the Cenotaph and at no stage were the Rememberence Services under any kind of 'threat'.

But the real story in all of this is not TR. It is people like Douglas Murray and Braverman. Asing why they both sort to stir this up

There will be a time to come out onto the streets and 'oppose/defend' but yesterday was not it.

Ill try. Two fold.

1. They do not like people using our streets to complain about issues far away in other parts of the world by people who have been invited to come and live here and are clearly not one of our own..
2. Any excuse for a well publicised punch up. The type they used to have at football that has since been outlawed.

Hope that is simple enough.

Too simple DWR, I’m aware of who those halfwits are, it’s that/them combined with the rest of it that leaves me with a single eyebrow raised and shaking my head.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

All that was demonstrated is that there isn't much of a far right. Just a few ex football hooligans. I'm not seeing much to talk about in that regard.

And yet you seem to have lost your old account.

Perhaps spending so much time on the BBS has damaged your thought processes.
