• By the way unfortunately very heavy rain for around three hours before last years event resulted in a much lower turnout than expected. But the previous year in 2014 at least 4,000 people attended the event. The 9pm finishing time is a time imposed on this event by the police. This event will go on for as long as people want to protest like it does every year which is usually until midnight. There is loads of more information on the Facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/485894658146587/ Basically anyone is invited who is pissed off with Tory government polices like austerity cuts, privatisation of public services, benefit sanctions etc.

  • What about anonymous tories?

    Also "We have seen the abuses and malpractice of this government, and governments before it, we have seen the encroaching destruction of many civil liberties we hold dear, we have seen the pushes to make the internet yet another part of the surveillance state, we have seen the government's disregard for migrants, for the poor, the elderly and the Disabled, we have seen the capital, profit and greed of the few put before the well-being of the many and we say enough is enough."

    Does this mean people are also protesting against all previous UK governments, including the whigs, labour and the lib dems? When will it all end?

    These things are all the fault of the Polish, you said so yourself, why are you blaming the Tories for these things?

    Anyone is invited. Is anyone welcome? You will say yes, but the whole presentation of the event is exclusionary. Come and join a masked predominantly white, young, male crowd to be non-directionally angry. Who by the way are also anti immigration. And who cannot understand why anyone would not want to join them unless they're closet Tories.

    You said you'd been in contact with BLM. Did they respond?

  • But the previous year in 2014 at least 4,000 people attended...

    So, The not very Anonymous 4 thousandths of a million mask march?
