On Saturday I, along with what I estimate to be approximately 3000 others, took part in the Football Lads Alliance demonstration in Birmingham. This is the third Football Lads Alliance demonstration that has occurred and to my knowledge the first that has taken place outside London.

We were marching against those twin evils of terror and Islamic Sharia Law, evils that have too often manifested itself in blood on European streets and which perversely have often been imported to places like Britain by our politicians. I joined the throng, mostly made up of football fans, but including many others such as non-football supporting Christians, Jews, ex Muslims and many others, who have come to understand the threat that Islam and the violence that this ideology brings in particular, poses for our societies and our families. There were also those attending whose motivation came partially from those moved to anger by the conviction of the internet joker Count Dankula on dodgy ‘hate speech’ charges in Scotland earlier this month. Speaking to some individuals as we mustered up before the speeches and the march, anger about this injustice on top of the revelations about mass Islamic rapes in Telford, was an extra incentive for them to attend this demo and make their presence felt on the streets of Birmingham.

We gathered in Curzon Street in the centre of Birmingham on an overcast day and heard speeches by among others, Anne Marie Waters of the For Britain Party, Luke Nash-Jones of Make Britain Great Again. There was also a moving and passionate speech from a young lady called Alena who was representing the 120dB movement from Germany. She spoke of the epidemic of sexual assault, rape and murder that the Muslim migrants who their government has welcomed in has brought to her nation. She described the worsening situation facing German women with greater and greater restrictions having to be placed on women’s freedom in order to try to prevent them being raped or killed by what are coming to be known as ‘Merkel’s Muslims’. You can hear Alena’s speech below and links to all quoted speeches can be found at the end of this article.

This was a peaceful march by people who had come to a decision to oppose the influence of Islam in Britain, not because of bigotry or a hatred of individual Muslims, but because they know and understand the history of Islam’s contacts with non Islamic cultures and the damage that it does to them. There were many of those attending this march, who because of the rise of Islam in their areas, live daily with the threat that this ideology and its followers, poses to their families and friends. People turned out because it is their daughters who are at risk of being attacked by the ever-growing numbers of Islamic Rape Gangs and their families who live with the threat of Islamic violence, crime and intimidation.

For my part I turned out for the sake of my son and the other children of Britons. I am very aware that being a member of a religious group that is liable to be first against the wall if the Islamic revolution comes, Islam is a clear and present danger to me and also to almost everyone else around me. I don’t want him or any other British child, no matter what their race or faith, to grow up in a nation where Islam has the sort of undue and baleful influence over our society as it does at present.

I spoke to several people at the march who were worried about what sort of future our children will have if Islam continues to have its influence with the political classes. I believe that this concern will be a future driver for anti-Islamisation activity as people start to wake up to the scale of the danger from the ideology of Islam, and as they re-learn the almost forgotten history of Islam’s brutal conquest, enslavement and cultural destruction of the cultures of North Africa, the Levant and India. This has the potential to increase the desire of Britain’s non Muslims to see this fate not befall us or our descendants. On this note there was a fantastic banner that read ‘I’m here so that I can tell my children that I did not stay silent’. From my perspective I could see that this was notably a march made up of people who have decided that they should no longer be bullied into silence and into complicity with evil.

There were of course many, many football supporters from clubs up and down the land. Supporters of rival clubs, supporters who on any other Saturday would be shouting abuse at each other, marched together in solidarity and marching against the worsening problems that Britons face. Some of those I spoke to had never really been politically minded before and it is only in extremis, because of the dire, negative effects that Islam is having on our society, that they have been propelled onto the streets and calling for urgent change.

I have to say at this point, as someone who has in the past marched against real neo-Nazis, this was not a ‘far right’ march. No matter how many times the Left, the BBC, politicians or Islamic grievance mongers may try to tell you that it is, it plainly was not. Were there individuals in the crowd there who had what could be termed ‘far right’ views, possibly, but I didn’t pick up any signs that they were in the majority. The greater number of those I encountered were ordinary people, people with a justifiable anger about what is being done to their country, and the failure of government to correct the mistakes that have been made, speaking up after so long being bullied into silence by political correctness and ignored by the Establishment.

Those who marched in the main behaved admirably. There was a warning given at the start of the march to not respond to any provocations from the Left, and this as far as I could see was obeyed. I saw very little Leftist opposition apart from one screaming individual just before we got to the dispersal point near the Bullring. There may have been other Lefties that I did not see but I did not hear from anyone else about any Lefties kicking off. Also, although there were chants denouncing ISIS and the ideology of Islam and loud cheer of delight when Tommy Robinson put in an appearance, from my position in the march I didn’t see one individual Muslim passer by abused in any way. The conduct of the marchers in general as far as I could ascertain, showed to me a sense of discipline. This discipline is going to be needed in the days ahead as we who oppose the ideology of Islam come into into increasing conflict with a State that at best refuses to see the problems that Islam causes for the rest of us and at worst actively colludes with an ideology that poses a threat to all of us.

I would like to conclude by saying thank you to all those who worked so hard to put this protest together and those who attended to make their voices heard and their presence felt. Onward to Manchester where later in the year the Football Lads Alliance is I understand hoping to have another demonstration which I hope to be able to attend as well.
