Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride.
They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

I didn’t know who Charlie Kirk was before he was killed.
I don’t care who Charlie Kirk was, he has no impact on my life.
Why the hell is Charlie Kirk headline news in the UK?

This is obviously selective but very illustrative. When the facts are explained to people to counter the lies, some will reflect and change their minds. It's pointless and plain wrong just dismissing all Reform voters as thick racist oiks and hopeless cases. Make the arguments. Win the arguments.
Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history.
And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

It would be interesting to see what money Redknapp jnr is on.
I feel like there’s such a lack of narrative about how many injuries we have. Dragusin - who I don’t think suits us tbh - called an “experienced defender” by Redknapp - he’s 22. Played under 100 appearances in his career.

There is lots to say about Marcus Rashford the player, what he has to offer, and how far he is responsible for what appears to be a career stall. But it needs repeating that he's a young, working-class black lad who has been feeding poor kids at a time when millionaire politicians and their...
