More than 50 people gathered in Carlisle as part of the Great British National Strike which was held in towns and cities around the country.
The Great British National Strike took place in towns and cities across the UK in protest against a number of things including immigration, net-zero and the inheritance tax, while also calling for a national inquiry into grooming gangs and the reversal of benefit cuts.
Those who attended the demonstration in Carlisle, made up of men and women of all ages, met at Bitts Park where they spoke about their concerns before moving on to walk up through the city centre.
"Most of us have not joined political parties. We don't normally do all that kind of stuff but we're watching and we're alarmed, and we just want to say 'enough is enough'.
"And if those whom we've elected into Parliament are not going to speak out enough for us then it comes a point where somehow we've got to raise that profile.
"We've got to put our heads above the parapet. We've got to find the right ways of doing that because we don't want to turn our country into a bloody revolutionary mess."
Some of the reasons given by the group as to why they were there included to get rid of the current government, out of respect for the Union Jack, immigration, the treatment of veterans, and to build a nation they can be proud of.
Other topics that attendees spoke about were Brexit, net-zero, diversity and equality initiatives, and Agenda 2030 - a conspiracy based on the UN sustainable development goals.
A handful of people were carrying a Union Jack flag or a St George's Cross and two people held a sign saying 'no more refugees: save our city'.
As they walked up through the city centre, they passed the Palestinian Solidarity Group holding a vigil outside the former House of Fraser building where one person told the group "everything that's wrong with the country is you."
They briefly stopped outside Caffé Nero where they chanted "Starmer out" before continuing to walk further through the city.
