Thinking about driving to this event in Manchester on Sunday and taking photographs and so on to post here.

So I'm thinking about doing something I never thought I'd do because most of these events almost never take place within a reasonable driving distance from me, it also makes me remember how much I hate crowds sometimes. I think it will depend on whether there will be a Conservative win tomorrow because that will indicate how much resistance this march will face and also I wouldn't be surprised if Antifa would show up and cause trouble.

I don't know if I'll necessarily take part but I might have a chat with people, might even be worth filming it and just observing generally, never been to one of these types of events and generally don't consider them to do much being an Anarcho-Voluntaryist but if they want to do that it's up to them.

What do you think? If you have any tips by the way on keeping my phone charged on the move I'd appreciate it, I have a car charger no problem but I noticed there were people at antifa protests for example who had some kind of portable charger or something maybe in their pockets? It was connected up to something, don't have a lot of experience in this sort of thing. I double checked the video camera quality on my phone and it looks pretty good actually and has decent sound too so maybe it will be worth recording stuff if I meet someone interesting.

Be careful that they may have an agenda.
I offer a story for you:
A friend of mine took his daughter to the local swimming pool every day one summer. She met another cute little girl, they played together like BFFs. It was a cute contrast, his pale skinny daughter and her darker colored friend. No politics, no prejudice, just joyful friendship.
As summer drew to a close (pools here close in September) my friends little girl asker her summer friend if she wanted to come over for a play-date and keep in touch.
"Oh no," she said. "We can't do that. We hate you."

Loving your enemy is the higher ground, and is the reason for our success. But at some point we need to hold people accountable for the cultures they themselves have created. This starts by saving our tolerance for the tolerant.

Lol, I'm always careful and I don't know how you can say Tommy Robinson has an agenda, he's pretty much just an honest guy who's very pissed off about Islam and rightly so. I'd be pretty wary of antifa though or other dodgy right wing groups but most people that show up at this sort of thing are just ordinary people. Rebel media as well in general are honest about their agenda to begin with which is why I do respect them like I respect people like Milo Yiannopoulos.

I know what you mean though, you're going into a big crowd with lots of strangers, I can take care of myself though, no need to worry about me. I've got things planned in this country that will likely get me into trouble regardless with my games development so I may as well walk into the fire willingly than get thrown into it so I know where I'll end up.
