Very saddened by yesterday's demonstration

17

I do not live in the UK, and it came as a surprise to me that so many would show up at that sort of demonstration. I am myself NOT a right winger, and if i had the opportunity I would probably inform Tommy Robinson of the fact we had certain disagreements. But I would do it more politely than most, i suppose.

I am still not any advocate of no-platforming. I see it more like giving up on a child that has strayed out on a wrong path. It is simply not done. I therefore always think that discussion is good, and I am too old to be afraid of hearing arguments. In fact, I am more afraid of not hearing them.

Are we talking of the anti-immigration protest in London? I've succinctly heard about it, but I don't know much beyond that.

It's pretty sad that these people don't appreciate the immigrants that hold up a lot of the UK, from healthcare to delivery services..
