6. It wasn't a rally "over Charlie Kirk's murder"; it was planned before that. It was supposedly about "free speech"

And when these shitheads talk about "free speech", they mean "racist speech" and "anti-immigrant demonstrations that devolve into riots". It's just that the far right organisers, bankrolled by Musk, decided to waffle on about Kirk as well. Because they'll always take advantage of a death to stir things up more.

Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has announced a national demonstration in London for September 13, which he is promoting as a “free speech rally.” The 42-year-old has made grand claims that it could become "the biggest thing this country's seen," suggesting it may draw hundreds of thousands of "patriots”, however, an anti-fascist group has vowed to “stop the far right” organising a counter-march in the capital on the same day.

Tommy Robinson is branding it as a day “we unite the kingdom”. He has recently called for peace at the protest as thousands are predicted to show up. In a recent video on X the activist urged protesters not to bring flares or have smoke coming out of the crowds. He also urged protesters to behave and not drink too much.
