Albie Amankona: What elites get wrong about Unite the Kingdom and pro-Palestine marches
Albie Amankona reflects on the Unite the Kingdom march, highlighting the complex atmosphere that blended elements of hostility and familiarity. While there were clear instances of racism and extremism, he notes that many participants seemed to express a more benign form of patriotism. He argues that dismissing these expressions as mere bigotry overlooks a deeper desire among some to celebrate their national identity.
- ▪The Unite the Kingdom march featured examples of racism and islamophobia, including anti-Muslim harassment.
- ▪Despite the presence of extremists, many attendees expressed a form of patriotism that felt familiar to the author.
- ▪Amankona criticizes elite perceptions of working-class patriotism as solely bigoted, advocating for a more inclusive understanding.
