Outrage among activists at anti-genocide protest
The Metropolitan Police Service has confirmed the arrest of a protester on Monday night at what outraged other protesters have said was a lively but entirely peaceful protest, outside the Islington office of Shadow Attorney Emily Thornberry, against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the Labour regime’s support for it.
A Met spokesperson told Skwawkbox that a woman had been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred and bailed ‘pending further investigations’:
A small demonstration was held in Islington High Street during the evening of Monday, 26 February. A woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of inciting racial hatred. She was taken into custody and later released on bail pending further enquiries. Next due on a date in April.
Protesters against genocide and for the human rights of Palestinians have been demonised by politicians and supporters of Israel for supposed ‘hate speech’ since Israel’s slaughter of civilians in Gaza and the West Bank accelerated after the Hamas raid and the Israel military’s well-known – but ignored by the UK ‘mainstream’ media and politicians – killing of ‘immense’ numbers of its own citizens. The Tory government, aided by ‘opposition leader’ Keir Starmer, have continued to attack the civil rights of the UK people to protest.
Right-wing MPs, along with pro-Israel campaigners, continue to call for tougher police action against demonstrators, despite the overwhelmingly peaceful nature of protests.

Protesting outside an MP’s office is a complete waste of time, spend every available minute and pool all your resources supporting Independents to remove those same MP’s not least the Fuhrer
Spot on Doug👍👍👍
Sadly WAY too many fail to reflect on our attitudes and culture.
Thus repeatedly we fail to learn effectiveness, not because ability is lacking, but because effectiveness is of zero concern. The tragic priority is FEELING virtuous… self-righteousness. Tons of energy is wasted massaging shallow FEELINGS of virtue eg by searching out every opportunity to be amongst like minded. The failure of HUGE protests against the Blair creatures evil invasion of Iraq, fails to prompt any change in action as you wisely state. Thus MILLIONS continue to suffer under the status quo. PLUS too many, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, STILL expect the definition of demonstrable malignant caustic wickedness that is SIR KEITH starmer & Co, they STILL expect the red rosetted parasites will not be worse than the blue rosetted parasites.
They need reread Little Red Riding-hood and learn what the children could explain to them.
Labels and packaging neither guarantee the nature nor quality of content.
Starmer & Co always was, still is and ALWAYS will be bad Bad BAD news. All who fail to realise that are part of the problem. The status quo could not survive as easily without the chronic virtue signallers 👁️👁️👁️
Every Independent should be supported vigorously +++
If only ‘the left’ hadn’t wasted the last 3+yrs and actually had something credible to offer the electorate. 😞
SPNWC only independents that are socialists.
Otherwise, depending on the candidate I could consider voting Labour for example members of the SCG and a few others.
Green Party, again depending on the candidate. I would vote for Jo Bird that is standing for the Green Party in a Wirral seat without hesitation.
Yes, thanks for that alert. DEFINITELY VOTE eg Jo Bird+++ and ALL SOCIALIST as a priority… even the disappointing SCG. Also vote for all the new fledging Socialist parties incl George Galloway etc. We must not make “the best the enemy of the good”.
We must SMASH the status quo swings between two camps of same old same old.

Chance to post. Their time would be better spent protesting the slow death of democracy beginning with the use of unqualified doctors and the sinister actions by Labour, Starmer and the speaker. We’re not fascists. They are stop putting kindling on a spent fire.

When are you gonna fuck off and croak, you soul-destroyingly boring automaton 😞
Back on topic…get on these well-drilled, young fit and arabic-looking “Hamas extremists”

Of course, on local news just now we had to suffer the victim ellman, regaling us with tall tales of how she used to be given police escorts” because of speaking out against antisemitism.”
Jesus wept
There was a similar Demo (in Scotland?) where the police contradicted
that it was in any way threatening!
See Novara’s YouTube :
See that video of these so-called protestors in the labour offices in Scotland?
See “John” if he’s NOT really Ibrahim then I’m a chinaman.
See his fellow thugs in the offices, all muslim-looking, unmistakeably highly trained to kill (at their local knitting clubs), all with their rabidly antisemitic messages on their cardboard plaques – which no doubt have been lined with deadly razor blades, or concealing home-made explosives, or laced with anthrax…
When are these shitkicking MPs gonna be formally warned by the old bill that their bullshit is the problem?
Hands up who thinks the Fascists are the Wokiest wankers on the planet
The moment they are challenged they cry Blue murder and call the police
Soft shites every one of them
