I don't think it makes it OK, urinating like that in public spaces. No matter what side it's on, it is kind of gross. Especially when children were present as well.

I don’t understand this protest or gathering or whatever it’s supposed to be. What is being achieved by it? A protest is something you do because you want to shake things up? You want to show those who lead us you are pissed off! You want to create chaos and cause such a fuss that will close the country down, so someone in power will think hang on a bit, we’re gonna have at least listen to each other to try and work things out.
Regardless of if I was interested in going or not, I honestly couldn’t afford it. There are people who went there who have probably spent money they can’t afford to spend, all to watch that red faced little twat on a mike, a bloke sing like a strangled cat and some daft bints mocking women in burkas! It’s embarrassing!
Do I agree with boat loads of undocumented men arriving here, of course not! I don’t think any sane person does but this is shameful and there is no good coming from it! Anyone in any kind of position to judge this will just be sat pissing themselves that once again Tommy or what ever he’s calling himself today has once again manipulated the public. The other one, the TikTok creator Corky who I bet my life is on the Farage pay roll, he was also there revelling in the attention! The ego these men have because they’ve gone viral a couple of times is mental!
I only read these thread posts, I tend not to comment because I think the split between the country is quite sad. I see good and bad people on both sides and I also see so much anger. It’s getting quite scary witnessing it all but that march or protest or whatever it was meant to be was pathetic and the hands of some very grubby individuals will have been well greased for that turn out! No one organising it gives a shit about anything but what they will earn out of it!

i never said it did though. It also didn’t take place yesterday because the organisers provided portaloos.
 
Got to say it's sad to see people cheering about what happened on the stage at the protest yesterday with those 3 women clearly being Islamophobic, yet a lot of the people cheering that are so quick to cry out when they believe something is antisemitic. Sadly people just can't see or accept that both are just as wrong.

WELL all this noise about local election results, Starmer hiding in the no. 10 bunker, Streeting resigning for no obvious good reason, Bodybags Burnham and the Makerfield fiasco, resultant burning of taxpayer money just for vanity elections, London marches, continuing fuss about missing Mandelson papers, Farage dodgy payments, Polanski dodging council tax and Angie unexpectedly exposing HMRC corruption. Has all ensured one thing, that there's been no coverage or talk whatsoever of Starmer's arsonists trial.

How convenient!

Just to add (before 'proof' gets copied and pasted') - a friend who attended said there was an army of volunteers at UTK clearing up all the rubbish off the streets.

Can anyone else see the irony:

“We’re a Christian nation. Why do we keep seeing demonstrations from Palestine in our nation there’s one today when Christians are being butchered and massacred across every Middle Eastern nation,” Robinson said on stage during a speech"


Who bombed the Church of St. Porphyrius?
Who damaged the Tomb of St. Peter ?
Whose soldiers have been filmed desecrating statues of the Virgin Mary?
Who is responsible for the displacement of tens of thousands of Christians from southern Lebanon?

Yes the same people who constantly post about antisemitism are perfectly fine with marches that target Muslims. As long as it's not them, they don't care but you don't get to demand protection for yourself while refusing to give it to others.

Robespierre championed the guillotine for others as a tool of justice. Then met the same fate in the end. If you normalise the idea that it's acceptable to target some groups today, don't be surprised when it's your group or child being targeted tomorrow .

There's a difference between clearing rubbish and cleaning urine though. It's a bodily fluid and is ridiculous to expect volunteers to have to clean that.

Only Christians when it suits them. As I say to a lot of them here, when did you last go to church? 99.9% of them can't give an answer. Churches here are always closing down too, which they wouldn't need to if we were actually a Christian country. It's just their latest battle cry.

Absolutely, same goes for how they twist census data to imply a large decrease in people saying they are Christian religion because of all the non Christians coming into the country, when the reality is a huge increase of people stating they have no religious alignment.

I read recently there was a huge surge in Catholicism with young people in particular attending church.

The photos were not from yesterday. The ones of the men were from a previous event by UTK. Presumably this is one reason why they proactively provided portaloos this time. The photos of the women were from Glasgow some years ago and the women were (presumably Scottish). I have no idea if the other march provided toilet facilities though.

Either way, no matter what March it was for or when...its foul behaviour

Yes I’m hearing that too. As a Catholic it doesn’t surprise me tbh. It’s not passive and there’s a lot of ritual within the church, Candles, incense, ritual of crossing oneself.

Our church is always packed on a Sunday ….fills up to standing room only.

I’m not a regular attender but try and get there once a month or so.

It would be wrong of me to post photos of some random people weeing in public to then claim it was from the Nakba March, not least because I think taking photos of people having a wee is wrong. It’s also wrong of you to continue a false narrative by linking it to a specific event because you don’t like it.
You should try living in an area like St Paul’s in Bristol when the Carnival is on, or Notting Hill or any other large public event that draws a crowd and has insufficient public toilet facilities. People will go anywhere, alleys, driveways, between parked cars in the street. It’s commonplace. It’s also commonplace in the majority of the developing world even when no events are on. Selective outrage.

I’ve noticed lots of youngsters going on retreats getting certain faith awards but surprisingly the number of Catholic priests is still in decline, I’m sure they’ll have to look at the outdated rules around marriage if they want to encourage numbers…Btw Christians don’t have to go to church to keep their faith the big man above hears you wherever you are

The Orange Order marches in NI have regular piss stops everywhere from bus stops to people’s gardens.
