Hamas and its anti-democratic funders...Qatar and Iran have scored a massive PR coup.
To use Armistice Day to hold the next demo was smarter still.
What useful idiots these demonstrators are to brutal regimes.
Still, one assumes carrying a banner condemning Hamas yet supporting Palestinians would be an invitation to a beating up or worse.....
This country is now a dangerous and very damaged mess
ReplyDeleteThe UK is great. Many will be remembering the war dead this weekend who made the ultimate sacrifice so people can protest.
Deletehear, hear 18:29!
Delete12,000 Palestinian Christian and Muslims fought the Nazis but many seem to forget that!
No, the Palestinian Muslims were allies of Hitler and the Nazis, and their Mufti was a personal friend of Hitler's who met him on several occasions. Are there no lies that the Hamas terrorist apologists won't tell.
DeleteToday I saw a man distributing poppies stop a lady and ask if he could reposition her poppy. While doing so he told that lady she should wear the poppy on her left side (over her heart); the red represents the blood of all those who gave their lives, the black represents the mourning of those who didn't have their loved ones return home, and the green leaf represents the grass and crops growing and future prosperity after the war destroyed so much. The leaf should be positioned at 11 o'clock to represent the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the time that World War One formally ended. He was worried that younger generations wouldn't understand this and his generation wouldn't be around for much longer to teach them.
ReplyDeleteKing pays tribute to Britain's war dead: Charles unites the nation as he leads Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph, with royals, senior politicians and dignitaries laying poppy wreaths to honour the fallen - hours after protest violence in London | Daily Mail Online
DeleteI really resent the fact that they want to hold a rally on the day we remember ours.
ReplyDeleteThe march is happening on Saturday not Remembrance Sunday starting at 12 noon (an hour after the minute's silence) and two miles away from the Cenotaph.
DeleteYou know very well that the Remembrance Weekend is special to the British and Commonwealth families who lost loved ones. Even if it doesn't matter to you it matters to them and shows appalling lack of taste
DeleteYes, perhaps that is why the Royal British Legion backs pro-Palestine demonstrators’ right to protest amid march row: ‘The British armed forces play a vital role in protecting the rights and freedoms of everyone in UK society’.
DeletePalestinians fought for us during the war, maybe we should fight for them!
DeleteIt is done to antagonise and show total disrespect to all that we hold dear.
ReplyDeleteDaily Express report: It has been counter-protesters who have tried to interrupt remembrance events. On X, the Met Police said: "There is a remembrance event underway at the Cenotaph. Officers have prevented those not involved from getting onto Whitehall so it can take place without disruption, as we committed. They have faced unacceptable violence, including people throwing missiles and a metal barrier."
DeleteSuella Braverman has guts
ReplyDeleteToo many exploit the pain of others – they see the war between Israel and Hamas, and the grief and fear it prompts in the hearts of Jews and Muslims especially, not as tragedy but as a political opportunity – a chance to advance their own interests.
DeleteThere will I fear be those that have accepted Braverman's request to go down to London and cause trouble.
DeleteIt is war between Israel and Hamas. It is a bloodthirsty terrorist organisation with leaders ensconced in great luxury in Qatar waging war against civilian Jews. Get real and stop this pious nonsense.
Delete18:23 Are you nuts? The trouble has between the police and demonstrators. Are you suggesting Jewish people will attend the demo to cause trouble? You are out of what little mind you have!
DeleteSuella Braverman is now putting police officers in harm's way ahead of far-right protesters flocking to the capital this weekend.
DeleteBaffling reference to Northern Ireland from Suella Braverman in her Times Op-Ed. By presumably claiming that Orange Order marches are “assertions of primacy” with links to terrorist organisations, is she and her govt trying to scupper the talks with the DUP? Odd in the extreme.
DeleteShe has caused a mess. Thousands are travelling to London to cause trouble. The police have had to bring in extra officers, costing a fortune and all because Suella wants Rishis job.

DeleteSuella Braverman accused of 'sowing the seeds of hatred', as pressure remains for her to resign
DeletePolice slam ‘intense debate’ for fuelling right-wing thugs ahead of Remembrance Day
DeleteDefence secretary Michael Green was on Sky earlier implying Suella Braverman was a goner. Trevor Phillips asked: “Will she still be home secretary by next weekend?” Green replied: “A week is a long time in politics.”
DeleteWho Michael Green? Shapps does that job so stop spreading misinformation
DeleteWho is Grant Shapps? From ‘Michael Green’ alias to the UK Defence Secretary
DeletePay attention to what Suella Braverman does, not what she says. In her capacity as Home Secretary has she stopped the protest? No. Has she stopped the boats? No. Has she improved policing? No. Do you feel safer? No. She is all talk and no delivery.
ReplyDeleteI am sick of political extremists in Britain using the unbearable tragedy in the Middle East to further their own ends in domestic British Politics. For good or ill Britain has little or no influence in Israel/ Palestine and should carefully use what it has to promote a two state solution and a democratic renewal in both the Israeli and Palestinian leadership.
ReplyDeleteApply some common sense and knowledge. To equate Palestinian 'democracy' with Israeli 'democracy' indicates you to be clueless. How many Arab MP's are there in the Knesset? You have no idea. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.
DeletePlease do not forget the destruction and war crimes being carried out against Ukraine by Putin’s cruel forces since 24 February 2022. Where is the condemnation of the UN and UK broadcast media ?
ReplyDeleteThe far-right has been emboldened by the home secretary.
ReplyDeleteThey attack the police on Armistice Day.
Clown" No, they didn't and it is not Armistice Day: that is tomorrow. Clearly, you know little of this country and its traditions
Delete18.15. Not only are you racist but you are stupid as well. Today is Armistice Day (11th Nov) and tomorrow is Remembrance Sunday. Stick that in your pipe and go and smoke it with your mate Tommy Robinson.
Delete" you're a racist" and you're a puerile bore with 'stick that in your pipe'....the insult of a kid. Muslims are racist...they hate Jews and any other religionist apart from their own. Can we think of any Islamic democracy? Nah!
Delete18.15. Today (11th November) is Armistice Day. Clearly, it is you that knows little of this country and its traditions.
ReplyDeleteToday the police faced violence from far-right groups as they stormed a Remembrance event at the Cenotaph. Disgusting anti-UK behaviour!
To: Clown” ‘No they didn’t.’
DeleteYes, they did … Far-right thugs hijacked Armistice Day to attack police, leading to violent clashes with officers and dozens of arrests. The Met condemned the “extreme violence” perpetrated by far-right groups, as the force revealed nine officers were injured preventing a violent crowd from storming the Cenotaph, with two requiring hospital treatment.
Most were not even wearing poppies!
DeleteGoes to show they were looking for a fight sent out by Douglas Murray & Suella Braverman!
This can’t go on. Week by week, the streets of London are being polluted by the hateful diatribe of Suella Braverman. Action from Rishi is necessary.
DeleteWho’s afraid of Rishi Sunak? Certainly not his own MPs
Delete21:53 you mean the demonstrators screaming death to Jews. What other religion hates others religions? Muslims. It is an essential part of their creed to despise all other religions especially Judaism and Christianity. I have yet to hear a Jew saying he wants to kill Christians
Delete21:53 From The Times Arrest antisemitic yobs now, Rishi Sunak will tell Met Police
DeletePM considers new laws to ban provocative chants in crackdown on protests
21:53 Idiot Royal British Legion (RBL) poppy sellers had to move their stand on Armistice Day after pro-Palestinian protestors began a sit-in at the station where they were volunteering.
ReplyDeleteIn footage captured on Saturday in Victoria Station, the protestors are seen walking around the Royal British Legion stand where the volunteers are set up, chanting “In our millions, in our millions, we are all Palestinians”.
The chant is followed by: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Suella Braverman sacked.
ReplyDeleteConservative-led Gloucester City Council voted unanimously on November 16 to call for an immediate ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
