So sounds like a flop for the Tommy mob? Great news.
Thanks for the write up.I’ve see claims that the turn out was a little lower than last time and that the anti Robinson demo was bigger . However we are still talking big numbers .
Without TR’s presence the mood seems a little subdued although resentful and the demographic seemed to be very middle aged . From what I saw of the speeches there was no real spark despite the efforts of Liam Tuft as compete to get the crowd going . In fact the tuneless Pentecostal group singing ‘patriotic ‘ gospel songs that opened proceedings probably set the tone of mediocrity that followed . A businessman and ex mayoral candidate , a Welsh UKIP member, a 16 year old who could barely string a sentence together , later an ex Tory now UKIP, a couple of German Perdiga , the lone Sikh , the Iranian ex Tory bloke who has YouTube channel , a barely audible singer songwriter who inadvertently cut off the sound system , and some French fascist women against immigrant sexual assault all interspersed with clips from yet another documentary before two Tiller Girls type dancers finally round it off .
I don’t think it was a flop however it wasn’t progress . Where it leaves TRs movement is uncertain , Ingrams who is now on what remains of UKIPs exec hasn’t the political mouse or presence that TR has . I don’t think Danny Tommo was there and Tufts is just a stage presence . TR has already said that the next documentary will start as soon as he is sent down and that part of it will be about people taking the streets and him being interviewed in prison . In my view there has to be a question of how galvanising his jailing will be . Those who went out and fought the good fight for TR last time are now locked up and there has to be a question about what capacity and appetite ‘the movement ‘ has for any really meaningful protests let alone confrontations . Perhaps civil disobedience type stunts ?
However what is certain is that the cash cow will still operate . They announced how people could donate to urban scoop at least three or four times and also announced a collection for the bloke who hung himself and for TR’s kids .
Well they got to empty their bladders in public and wade around in their own piss so about as good as they're used to it getting, I guess.
The fact that the attendance was down rather than up after his arrest does suggest that future turnouts face a challenge. However, I wouldn't write off 15k or so right wingers who want all the boats stopped, are anti immigration and think women and children need protection from Muslims .Doesn’t half his mob go out for the ruck? So if they didn’t get one and had to listen to a few boring speeches maybe that’ll depress turnout in future? Doesn’t sound like much went on.

Any estimates size of the SUTR turnout?Good turn out at the SUTR march yesterday. Corbyn is still sounding quite sprightly !
Left as we hit the Whitehall crowds. Perhaps a separate thread but if we're concerned about statues I just don't understand why there's a statue of Charles I in Trafalgar Sq.? the police had to surround it which is funny, Why isn't it consigned to the Royal Archives ?

Was it Louise Distras?a barely audible singer songwriter who inadvertently cut off the sound system
No some bloke. I didn't see her in the clips this timeWas it Louise Distras?

With Starmer working ok with meloni it’s confusing“Centre right” LOL. What, are they Starmerites now?
After his fans have had a skinfulHe has pleaded guilty and is expected to be sentenced later today. I glanced at a live stream outside the court and unless it was the wrong court there was no demo. Perhaps this afternoon?

he should top himself in jail as a sign of solidarity with the lynch fella
Mr Justice Johnson said he would not suspend the sentence due to the seriousness of the offending and because 'the defendant has a history of poor compliance with court orders'.
