So she shouldn't be allowed to teach because you disagree with her views.

    Good on the Metropolitan Police chief Mark Rowley for standing up to the IMO vile home secretary and Sunak who apparently want to ban any support for Gaza. Good to see them with egg on their face

Do you think people using such imagery as she did ought to be in charge of educating younger generations?

Lets see what the police say when they arrest her shall we:

 

Police appeal over three hate crime suspects
The Met Police has issued photographs of three people it suspects of antisemitic hate crimes during the protest in London.

One shows a woman carrying a placard on which the Jewish symbol, the Star of David, is shown to incorporate a Swastika.

I trust the police will receive public help identifying these individuals, investigate, arrest and prosecute, let the courts deal with them.


The police tell us they estimate 300,000 attendees, 3 in 300,000 is three too many, they need dealing with.

 

Do you have any comments on the far more numerous arrests for violence of the extreme rightwing counter protestors?

Yes I trust they will receive plenty of help for catching those responsible for hate crime. Yep around 300,000 and you wanted me to provide evidence that there would be some non UK nationals there...................lol.

 

How about some comments from you on those from the Right wing seeing as your so interested in them.

Hypocrisy at its worst. Demanding from critical of Israeli actions posters demanding they denounce Hamas, but refusing to denounce counter protests where the only aim is provocation.

Were you trying for some sort of Hamas /  Right wing thugs equivalency?

The police should prosecute him for hate speech.

I hope they do.

Well thanks for stating the obvious

The police had not problems making arrests on the spot on one protest - and rightly so.

The police somehow needs the public help to even identify offenders on a parallel protest.

Could have said the same about your comment.

 

I don't make a fuss about the counter protest because it was totally expected (posted about the football angle some time ago - they guy egging some of them on is an expat here). It was a 'counter-protest' which was focused on aggro as well as politics. So no news and no other expectations, really. There were no illusions regarding what it was.

 

But the other protest? The 'marketing' angle was (as usual) all about peace, stop the war, save the children and so on. The reality is that it's also hyper political, and often over the top. Police reaction? Again, as expected, but not in a good way.

No worries, I won't be making the same statement about you.

This thread is not about peoples intelligence and with your comprehension skills I would be very careful before throwing out accusations. Show me where you've denounced the hate crimes carried out by the Palestinian protestors?

I suspect they had an easier job dealing with a very much smaller but much more violent bunch of rightwing extremists. Especially when the extremists helped out by corralling themselves in a pub while they imbibed their customary ‘courage inducing refreshments’.

 

The police often rely on public help apprehending offenders, it’s common practice in the UK were the police have wide public support.

If I understood correctly, matters with the counter protest didn't take long to sort, with the larger protest mainly taking place after that. All them police on duty, plus cams all over London and no one saw anything? I think that when the police wants to be proactive it can.

Shock horror, protests which are an inextricable part of public political discourse in British democracy are ‘political’.

 

A refresher, the rights to freedom of assembly, freedom of association and freedom of speech.

Morch, I never had you down as a conspiracy theorist.

 

 

A very good example of the total disrespect for Remembance Day/Veterans Day. Even if you have the right to hold protests it does not mean it is right to do so, especially when you intimidate peaceful volunteers and make them have to move on.
