Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted November 7, 2023 Members Share Posted November 7, 2023 I think it should be borne in mind that Armistice Day is a day of remembrance not protest Protest if they must, but it's nonsense to claim Armistice Day provides added justification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Wanderer Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, royal white said: Whatabout whatabout whatabout, 😂😂 why do you keep comparing football fans to those supposedly marching for peace? Just a comparison mate. Glad it tickled you though. we see a lot of trouble in and around football games over the course of the weekend. More arrests than we saw at the demo last Saturday. But nobody talks about banning football. And rightly so. That would be nonsense. So why ban a protest because you don’t like them or there’s a chance a minority will kick off? It’s a democracy is it not? Free speech an all that. Would you ban it? Edited November 7, 2023 by London Wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a democracy is it not? Free speech an all that. Would you ban it? How many? Millions attended football last weekend millions didn’t attend a March. If the millions who attended football acted like the protestors did there would have been a lot more arrests at the footy. Those attending the footy weren’t attending a peace rally/protest.

I'd rather all these types of march and protest were banned, but that'll get the "freedom of speech" and "democracy" types having a go at me. In this instance though, I've no doubt it should be rescheduled to another weekend. This just feels like outright provocation. Although, I can't help but think that extremists on both sides will think all their Christmases/Eids have come at once, as it'll be a great opportunity to kick off.......and let's be honest, it'll be us infidels that kick off first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begs the question though, given the recent disorder, the attacking of a 78 year old poppy seller by such folk, and a big remembrance weekend approaching, why hasn't the met commissioner applied to the home secretary to ban them this weekend? There is ample evidence to support such an application, and there is no cloudiness around the meaning of "jihad" etc. I have plenty of sympathy for the police- they're between a rock and a hard place, but light touch policing hadn't been respected by the protestors and conversely, it has emboldened bad behaviour.

Site Supporter Cheese Posted November 7, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2023 There should be a nationwide curfew for the entire weekend, just in case anyone is thinking of saying something Suella Braverman doesn't like.

It’s not rocket science, needs postponing to another weekend. Personally I’d ban it full stop… they’ve made a point, just asking for trouble here on in. Get it sorted Suella… do your duty.

He said: “I would say now, there are absolutely no legitimate grounds for [a ban]. Some time ago, we indicated that on the 11th [of November], we would not be going anywhere near [the Cenotaph] … We knew that would be inappropriate … We’ve not had that information [of a ban] from the police. But what I’m aware of is the police are under immense pressure.” Speaking earlier on Monday, Jonathan Hall, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, suggested he would be concerned by any attempt to ban the march. “My instinct must be that you should always err in favour of freedom of expression,” he said, adding that he hoped the protest would be closely controlled.

The police shouldn’t need political pressure for this, common sense would help. If common sense isn’t applied then it’s right for the government to get involved.
