'Tommy Robinson,' the full time English patriot who lives in 5 Star hotels across the Med, was in town today. I took it upon myself to grab a photo or two of this great event, and was far from surprised to note I could not recognise any regular citizens among the throng. Indeed, it appears there were many professional protest attenders from Kent, Grimsby Scotland and elsewhere, but few from the locale.
Tommy was not to be seen.
The police operation was in full force, and very effective it appeared to be. I spoke, kindly, to two or three officers, and they responded kindly also, avoiding the 'On your way you bore,' response which grew in one or two minds.
At one point I thought they would start and moved to a better position, this start did not happen, possibly waiting for the hero to arrive. Maybe the plane from Dubai was late?
At the front is blonde Michell Lee, who claims to live here, and she is the one leading the protest. It is a question regarding whether the Wethersfield housing of asylum seekers is a problem, or whether this is just another far-right agitation for the English nationalist racists in the area. Most of course are not from the area.
As always it is the usual suspects who appear at these protests. The chant 'Save our women and protect our kids,' and support Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, though I do not know if he is using that or any other name he has found in the past, today) a man well known for a domestic assault conviction on his wife. Several of the leading activists have such convictions, indeed on the far right, neo nazi groups we find many paedophile convictions also, yet nobody appears to mind those.
Interesting to note this sign, 'Mass immigration is drowning English people,' in amongst a few hundred English people and no immigrants. I wonder why? It was tempting to wonder how he came to this conclusion, few appear to have actual figures, exact knowledge of what they say, and many appear to be those who attended the type of school I failed at. It is after all emotion, not facts, that produce such responses. Imaginary fears, based on pub talk and slanted press where no actual facts can be found. This is well known to the rabble rousers of this world, Farage and Tommy amongst them. Any lie that hits home can be used and no fact can bring a change of heart.
This was the wrong time to run into a group of bored police officers with an illegal electric bike.
Anyway, by this time Tommy had not appeared and I was going hungry. So I sloped off home for a badly cooked lunch, and watched some football. Then I discovered Tommy had indeed arrived, and not as I had been saying, 'coked up to his eyeballs,' and speaking to the crowd, 3-500 depending who you believe. In the end I was quite glad as listening to him and his woman Michelle I think I may have been tempted to say something out of turn. The goons with him, and the fans around him made this difficult so I am glad I was not there. But it would be tempting would it not?
Anyway, I put a picture up on a local site and several hundred have been arguing on it ever since. What we reveal here is the number that see through the protest, do not support Reform and also the number who do and are very keen indeed on Tommy. As I said before, few attending were from here, but there are locals do support him. Fear and ignorance, based on emotion are at the root cause I say.
