We’re not on the same side, Muslim protestor tells far left protestor
RHODA WILSON
A video from protests in East London shows a group of masked Muslim men and radical Woke Left protesters clashing.
When a Woke Left protestor said to a masked Muslim, “There’s no need for that; we’re on the same side, bruv!” the Muslim responded, “No, we’re NOT.”
This incident reveals the irreconcilable differences between radical Islamism and the radical Woke Left, despite their collaboration on various issues.
James Price warns that unless Britain changes course, we will see more sectarian clashes and a splintering of politics along ethnic, religious or other lines, with emboldened radical groups asserting themselves on the streets.
East London Offers A Glimpse Into Britain’s Terrifying Future
By James Price, as published by Matt Goodwin on 27 October 2025
If there’s one video you want to watch right now to understand where the United Kingdom is heading in the future, then it’s THIS one [see below].
Despite what the far-left claimed, it wasn’t the UKIP protest that terrified people in the capital, it was the masked men screaming “Allahu Akbar”.
“We’re on the same side bruv.” One far-lefty screams.

Take one minute before reading the rest of this piece and just watch that video.
What you see here is a group of masked Muslim men, mobilising in Whitechapel, East London. They gathered to march forcefully in response to a reported demonstration by the anti-immigration UK Independence Party (“UKIP”).
Adjacent to them is another protest from the radical Woke Left, carrying the ubiquitous Socialist Worker placards.
The Muslim mob screams “Allahu Akbar” and pushes the lefties out of their way. “There’s no need for that; we’re on the same side, bruv!” screeches one of the woke activists. And then comes the key line: “No, we’re NOT” comes the furious, masked reply, from an angry, local Muslim.
Local shops were even gleefully marketing the sale of balaclavas for the march, under the terrifying slogan of “no face; no case.”
Let’s be absolutely clear about what is going on here.
What we are witnessing here is the future of Britain, the future that awaits our country, unless the people who rule over us rapidly change course.
The “Balkanisation” of Britain, with different groups pitting off against one another in febrile, downright terrifying physical encounters – scenes that would not have looked out of place in late Republican Rome, or Northern Ireland during the Troubles.
And one of the most significant aspects of this, as I’ve written before, is the interplay between radical Islamism and the radical Woke Left.
In perfect timing for this weekend’s terrifying marches in East London, this was covered in The Spectator this past week, focusing on the uneasy alliance between the Gaza independent Members of Parliament, and the magic Grandpa himself, Jeremy Corbyn.

What isn’t yet understood, but what the above video shows so clearly, are the irreconcilable differences between these groups.
On the surface, they have lots in common.
Radical Islamism and the radical Woke Left both harbour a deeply illiberal, anti-democratic, even totalitarian impulse. They also both subordinate individual rights behind fixed group identities, and so have little time for individual liberty. And they both share a general disregard for the Enlightenment, Christian charity and science.
But when they came face to face, in East London, the Islamists told the woke left, in no uncertain terms, “we are not like you.”
The Left has enabled this.
To win votes, Labour and the Woke Left promised definitions of “Islamophobia,” recognising Palestine and endlessly insisting there was no incompatibility between modern Britain and the particularly austere, backward interpretations of the faith that is so prevalent in our country today.
As Winston Churchill said, “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.” Those who think there are 87 genders are realising, too late, that those who don’t even think there are two equal ones are not their friends.
We saw exactly this in Iran when the Ayatollah came to power. Leftist Persian women in western clothes cheering, not realising that they would soon be stripped of more rights than they could ever have imagined.

And there is a clear message in all this for Britain, for our country, which is this: unless we fundamentally change course, and do so urgently, then the scenes playing out in East London are what Britain will soon look like, with a shrinking majority falling back as emboldened radical groups step forward and assert themselves, physically, on the streets.
This splintering of British politics from the old way, of parties that coalesced around ideas, towards the new, of different sectarian groups organising based on ethnic, religious or other features, will be no surprise to anyone who reads [Matt Goodwin’s] Substack.
Time and time again, we have done what very few people in Westminster are willing to do – calling out growing sectarianism in British politics (see HERE, HERE, and HERE).
We are already staring down the barrel of the next general election, and many more elections to come, featuring a much greater level of tribal, religious or clannish voting.
The “Muslim Vote,” the “Hindu Manifesto,” the “Yoruba Manifesto” and more are all campaign groups or pledge organisations that will further fracture traditional voting blocs in this country, pushing us more toward the kind of politics we have seen in Northern Ireland and Lebanon than what we have traditionally been used to.
But the demonstration we saw this weekend is also what sectarianism looks like in day-to-day public life, a long time out from the next general election. And it’s not the only one. Far from it.

History is repeating itself in London’s East End, but not how the Guardian sees it
NIALL MCCRAE
Colours are coding. Green, red and black are the apparel of division, and I am not referring to the flag of Palestine, beloved as it is by the leftists and Muslims protesting on our streets. Red is for Marxism; green is for either ecological purgatory or Islam; black is for anarchy, glorifying terrorism or masked Antifa thugs. While Palestine is a cause celebre, there are much bigger fish to fry.
Unholy alliances are built on shaky foundations. Last weekend’s edition of the Spectator featured Jeremy Corbyn’s nascent Your Party with its uncomfortable bedfellows of Woke anti-capitalists and Asian MPs with property portfolios, the latter having on time for transgenderism or Net Zero zealotry. Apart from Palestine, it seems that the only theme on which the Islamo-Left partnership agrees is their dislike of traditional British society and patriotism. As Angus Colwell and Max Jeffery explained: –
Ideological inconsistencies, however, will be glossed over. A powerful electoral alliance has been born between young progressives and a group of Muslim voters. Your Party and the Greens, now led by the self-declared ‘eco-populist’ Zack Polanski and his deputy Mothin Ali, who once called a rabbi an ‘animal’ for being a reservist in the Israeli military, are already in talks to have an electoral pact.
The awkwardness of mixing adherents of a staunchly conservative religion, historically spread by the sword, with a privileged graduate class believing in gender fluidity, was demonstrated last Saturday in Whitechapel.
The context for an intended march organised by UKIP leader Nick Tenconi was overlooked by mainstream media (no surprise there). The Pink Ladies, a band of female activists who protest against migrant hotels as a danger to women and children, had drawn a hostile reaction from counter-protestors outside Tower Hamlets civic hall some days earlier. Tenconi, who has led rallies in towns and cities across the land (including places such as Birmingham that might be perceived as a lost cause), described his planned march as a ‘crusade’.
The Metropolitan Police banned the march, which was certainly provocative. Tenconi changed the mustering point to Knightsbridge. His group was allowed to walk to Marble Arch, three miles from Whitechapel, where a rally against fascism was held instead.
The atmosphere in Whitechapel was intense and aggressive. It reminded me of the large anti-racism rally in Walthamstow after the protests following the Southport killings last year, when a crowd declaring itself as tolerant and inclusive cheered as a Labour councillor urged them to ‘slit the throats’ of fascists. This time, however, there was less unity.
Lutfur Rahman, controversial mayor of Tower Hamlets, implored his constituents (through Instagram and Facebook) to come to Whitechapel High Street for a show of strength. The ban meant that this was already a triumph. He looked forward to a ‘family day’, and told people not to wear masks, an instruction that was ignored by most of the men who participated.
A convicted fraudster, Rahman has a tight hold on the East End borough, with its majority Muslim population (a vote for anyone else would be heresy). He is praised by the Guardian for his ‘progressive social policies’, and he is also supported by white Corbynites who like living in an ‘edgy’ area.
‘History is repeating itself’ suggested the Guardian prior to the event. The writer meant this positively, referring to the Battle of Cable Street in the 1930s, when Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts were chased out by citizens of Jewish faith or sympathy. But on Saturday The Guardian headline proved right in a way not intended by the cosmopolitan scribe. The supposed defenders of Tower Hamlets were the people wearing black, and an emphatic target of their opprobrium was Zionism.
Whitechapel last Saturday was not a happy expression of diversity, but an ugly and profoundly troubling sign of where we are heading thanks to our rulers’ penchant for mass immigration. On Spiked, Brendan O’Neill railed against the useful idiots of the Left for siding with Muslim thugs, but he began by virtue-signalling on UKIP (he repeated an estimate reported elsewhere in the media of 75 marchers, but you can see for yourself on YouTube that there were over a hundred): –
That knackered old party had hoped to hold its own protest in Whitechapel yesterday. It was clearly a provocation: they targeted Whitechapel precisely because it has a large Muslim population. A Ukipper’s wet dream is to wang on about ‘Islamist invaders’ and the need for ‘remigration’ as Bangladeshi Brits look on with alarm. A wind-up masquerading as a march. The Metropolitan Police, fearing ‘serious disorder’, put the kibosh on it and told UKIP to do their wailing elsewhere.
For a website defending freedom of expression, this was poor and unprincipled by O’Neill. He is not in favour of religious sensibilities being used to prevent patriots and Christians from marching in their capital city, but gave no commitment to such civil rights. Perhaps we should not be surprised, though: in the Covid-19 debacle Spiked was an advocate of vaccine coercion. O’Neill punched hard on the menacing Muslim marauders, yet he missed the point.
It was a sickening spectacle. Mobs of men in black masks denounced ‘Zionist scum’ and darkly promised to hound them ‘off our streets’.
Of course, O’Neill is right to criticise blatant anti-semitism, He excoriated the leftists who went to Whitechapel as allies.
It’s very simple: if you happily march with men in masks who dream of driving ‘Zios’ from our society, then you have thrown your lot in with Jew hatred. You are complicit in the cultivation of a hostile environment for England’s Jews.
However, focusing on this aspect of the demonstration blinds O’Neill to the broader impact of Islamists making territorial claims. It’s not Tel Aviv that is being colonised, but our own country. O’Neill raised the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a match in Birmingham against Aston Villa. Douglas Murry in the same edition of the Spectator, wrote that Jews were ‘barred from a football match because the local Muslim community would not tolerate it’. Misplaced concern for notorious hooligans contrasts with the lack of understanding of why UKIP wanted to march in Whitechapel: the former was merely a football match; the latter an existential crisis for our society.
A poignant video clip from Whitechapel, which has gone viral, shows a member of the Stand Up To Racism group, who lined part of the pavement while the Muslim men stomped past on the road. A voice in English accent asserts: ‘there’s no need for that; we’re on the same side, bruv’. The sharp reply was ‘no we’re not.’, as conformed by another masked man next to him. ‘Naïve leftist gets instant katma’ was how Paul Joseph Watson portrayed this, in a video log watched by 400 million. The Muslim men are seen yelling ‘Allahu Akhbar’ in an intimidating manner, before they blocked the road for a mass kneeling to Mecca.
O’Neill asks ‘when will leftists learn what a colossal folly it is to align themselves with fundamentalists who are suspicious of secularism, hateful of homosexuals, dismissive of women and furious about Jews?’ The mantra of ‘my enemy’s enemy is my best friend’ is morally vacant. Leftists would rather stand with intolerant masked sectarians who look on them with scorn, than with ordinary English women with legitimate concerns about undocumented migrants who have no reasonable grounds to be in the country.
In their ‘luxury beliefs’, the white progressives do not blink an eye at reports of violent or sexual offences by illegal incomers (yesterday their bete noire the Daily Mail reported on the court case of a ‘refugee’ who randomly stabbed a man to death in a queue at a bank in West Bromwich after he was denied the right to stay in the UK).
Paul Joseph Watson’s video log ended on a more encouraging note. A woman in hijab is filmed berating mostly Arab diners outside cafes at the western edge of Oxford Street, near where the UKIP march ended. They refuse to rise to her demand to fight these white people with flags and crosses. They look on her as though she’s a psychiatric patient who’s escaped from a locked ward.
Most people, whatever their class or creed, simply want to get on with their lives. But the green, red and black agitators thrive on conflict, whatever their pretence of compassion. Their subversive, puritanical animosity is the real danger – not patriotic Christians smeared as fascists.
