It's not, though The MOL is the the Police and Crime Commissioner for London and the responsibility for holding the Met to account, as well as the setting of policing priorities, lies with his office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 4 hours ago, Nowack said: The cenotaph had an exclusion zone set up around it did it not? I know some areas were set aside for counter protesters nearby but the cenotaph was out of bounds. Not true the counter protestors were supposedly allowed to go to the cenotaph. The counterprotest groups would be permitted to be at the Cenotaph where the pro-Palestine marchers are banned, he added, because the former’s “sole purpose and their intention is to protect the sanctity of the Cenotaph and Remembrance. So I don’t anticipate there will be any disorder from that group.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree knob heads boths sides but it’s clear only one side were targeted by the Met. And while both sides are dealt with differently then the anger from that group will continue and most probably lead to more trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that chaps. Aye Imagine trying to attack a pro Palestine march & the police ( armed with knuckledusters & knives ) because a Tory told you it was a hate march. Proper English patriot patriots 😂 Gullible fuckwits. Now it’s Khan’s fault apparently, Christ. The Met said before that no serious disruption was planned, they were right. They’ve found a minority of idiots and will likely identify them. Credit where it’s due 👍 Obviously a few lads Twitter feed on a footy forum know better though.

The reality is mate that one side had a very high % of known 'lads'. Bit like on match day if you are in group of lads in Stone Island and Burberry caps you will get 'labelled' . You can hardly kettle 250000 people. Listening to some of the naive comments from the Palestine side it is pretty clear IMO that for a fair number of the protesters it is just this weeks fashionable protest. Based on the build up and rhetoric being spouted beforehand overall I think the policing was pretty ok , no major trouble. Gove is a total cunt for just turning up and happening to walk the Palestine protest IMO he knew just what he was doing. ( Me and Nadine Dorries agree on one thing!)

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted November 12 Site Supporter Share Posted November 12 I see the British Transport Police are looking for help identifying several people on both sides for disturbances that happened at various railway and underground stations. In this day and age why folk they think they can say and do anything they like is beyond me, they have been filmed from every angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one side has their legally owned homes and land seized by the other, and the world turns a blind eye, it will probably lead to more trouble.

This all reared up because Israel were talking with Saudi about peace and solving this issue. Hamas didn’t like that and murdered 1400 innocent Jews to make sure the peace talks ended… in short hamas prefers israel not to give stolen land back so they can continue to justify murdering Jews.

BobyBrno Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Another illustration of how this conflict is not a left or right issue. Maybe it’s better to say right or wrong.
