I went to that FLA march, first time I had been to anything like it. I was a bit worried on the way up there on the train, thinking, "Am I doing the right thing here ?".
Seeing a huge mob of people, all football lads was very impressive. Speakers included veterans, serving soldiers and even some police. I remember listening to the copper, as he was saying whats the point of going to the other side of the world to fight extremism and then not putting that effort in back here. The police were with us in every way as the message was, " we are fighting extremism happening in this country". The march was against extremism, that's extremism in every form.
Was there a sniff of right wing views there ? Yes of course, that would be normal in these circumstances, but what stood out was it was a peaceful march that said, "We are here if you need us ?"
The highlights for me were West Ham turning up, the Gurkhas and thier
