GMB host says dont condemn white men amid Tommy | UK News

Good Morning Britain host Ranvir Singh sparked dialog on social media as she shared a candid reflection on her stroll through London amid the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally led by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. On Saturday, Singh, who had deliberate to accumulate art work from the Royal Academy’s summer season exhibition, shared her ideas on navigating the tense ambiance without her younger son in tow, a resolution she described as “pragmatic but sad”.

In her post, Singh recounted a chance encounter with a man attending the anti-immigration march. The pair spoke openly, with the ITV star describing him as curious rather than extreme, noting the gentleman was there to see “how ‘fascist’ they really are” and to keep an eye on his brother, who leans additional proper politically.

Taking to her Stories, Ranvir penned: “Lots of fear around the marches today and I’ve gone earlier and without my son which makes me unhappy but I’m being pragmatic. I just chatted with a jolly chap who is becoming a member of the far-right march – because he is curious to know how ‘fascist’ they are surely – and he is maintaining his eye on his brother who’s a bit more far proper – the last march he went on was ‘Remain’ during the Brexit protests.”

“He’s concerned about illegal immigration, but not all migration. So please today don’t condemn every white man as being extreme – we had a laugh together and I respected him. There’s a real fight against racism, but the vast, vast majority are good people, so let’s not forget that today,” she added.

Thousands of people have gathered in London for a rally organised by activist Tommy Robinson.

The “Unite the Kingdom” event is going down in Whitehall on Saturday afternoon but large crowds have already massed close to Waterloo Station with people carrying and waving union flags and the St George cross. Meanwhile, a counter-protest, dubbed March Against Fascism, organised by Stand Up To Racism, is also due to happen in town.

Around 1,000 officers will probably be deployed in London in a bid to forestall clashes between protesters with opposing views. Police have confirmed they aren’t utilizing facial recognition technology for the Unite the Kingdom demonstration although a cellular CCTV unit is in place.

The Metropolitan Police have also urged Muslim Londoners to go about town as regular and not change any plans amid recommendations of potential security considerations.

Commander Clair Haynes, who is in charge of the public order policing operation in London this weekend, said: “We recognise that there are specific considerations for many in London’s Muslim communities forward of the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ protest given the report of anti-Muslim rhetoric and incidents of offensive chanting by a minority at earlier marches.”
