Just doing some more reading on the FLA facebook page and it seems they they dont want Tommy Robinson to be part of it as it may cause trouble, which isnt the aim of the group

The FLA march in London last Saturday..Total Media Blackout.
It was estimated 10 thousand attended the march in London last Saturday yet all the media could focus their attention on was a handful of EDL who were marching on the same day elsewhere in the city.
Just as intended the march went by peacefully with no trouble. I can only assume that the media chose to ignore it for the fact that they were unable to put their own version of spin on things by showing the FLA in a bad light.
As much as mainstream media would love to bury the FLA aside and hope they go away...let us just wait and see how long it takes before the media breaks their silence.

Not wishing to sound ignorant here but who are the FLA? There are so many acronyms for protest movements that I've lost track. It sort of reminds me of the classic piece in the Life of Brian where no one knows which protest group they belong to.

I think it stands for Football Lads altogether. West Ham, Millwall and others on a demo together.
It is interesting that the one man and his dog who turned up for the Day of rage was widely talked about and publicised but there has been nothing about this whatsoever.

So - to be clear. The media underestimate the turnout for a peaceful march and hype up the small (and inevitable) group of idiots that use the opportunity to make trouble? As someone that has been involved in organising protest in the past I can only say welcome to our world! Obviously you are trying to destroy democracy and create an insurrection...It was estimated 10 thousand attended the march in London last Saturday yet all the media could focus their attention on was a handful of EDL who were marching on the same day elsewhere in the city.

I had never heard of the FLA before yesterday. It is not a great name and I will admit that it triggers my prejudices. But I am at least aware of that. So I promise I will put those aside and find out more with a genuinely open mind.

Good question to be fair. As far as I know, it was just a peaceful march against extremism, probably to let the authorities know that people want more done to stop it. Keeping Theresa May to her word of enough is enough. Also with videos all over social media of the police retreating against gangs of violent, laughing Muslim youths, I get the impression that they feel that if eventually the public do have to make a stand, and I don't think that is being dramatic, it is better to be organised and united with people of all creeds and colours that are willing to step up.
I thought it was the Judean People's Front?Oh ffs its the Peoples Front of Judea.[emoji38]ol:

I believe its to unite as one against extremism - using the common interest of football to bring people together, standing side by side as one voice.
This is the guy who started off the idea:
