we have a tinderbox of sectarianism. 

Which Enoch Powell accurately predicted many decades ago. The apologists, socialists and 'refugee advocates' should hang their heads in shame when they see that law defying mob on the streets of London which is now influencing the activities of a free countries democratic Parliament.

We have recent history examples of where sectarianism leads. If you don't think this has a good chance of happening in GB then you really do have your head in the sand.

Aye.  You can't move round here for all the rivers of blood running through the streets.

Shame the Tories weren’t so vocal when their own prime minister was found to have broken the law and when it was abundantly clear he had misled parliament.

They were. They kicked him out. 

He (and the government) were found to have broken the law in 2019 when they illegally prorogued parliament.

3 years before he quit.

It's probably only me who cares, but prorogation was found to be unlawful not illegal

Semantics alert!

I looked it up.

Illegal means that it is forbidden by a law that has been passed. Unlawful means that it is not authorised by law because no such law has been passed.

Doesn't sound much of a difference, but it is. By doing something later deemed unlawful, you've not broken any law.

By doing something illegal, you have, and can be subject to trial, punishment imprisonment etc.

Which I'd say is very significant. 

Not long back, the police stopped a protest march, which was later found to have been unlawful.

Now here’s where it becomes confusing. Which was the unlawful bit, the March itself or the police stopping it?

The police stopping it.

Hence a request from senior policing individuals to the government for new powers, to allow them to do such things in future.

Hence the new legislation which followed.

And now officers dragging the likes of jso from the roads.

A shift in policy from the US pn the West Bank settlements

About time

The uk sanctioned 4 Israeli extremists a few days ago too.

I bet plenty on the unlawful march were doing something illegal.

As I detailed, the particular march I referred to, didn't happen.

It was banned.

That banning was later declared unlawful.

It's a complete nightmare. On Thursday for example, there I was on the District line and this bloke who had a Palestinian flag, god knows where he'd been, got out of his seat and offered it to with a bloke a young child! This sort of thing should not be allowed to stand!!!!

Offered the flag or the seat? 😉

Despicable behaviour.

I'm always a bit curious as to why people who don't live in London get all het up about marches here.

It's not spoiling my trip to Crystal Palace Food Market this morning.

Islamists have taken over London now! Got the mayor in their back pocket….. That’s according to Lee Anderson chatting away to GB news. The ‘London is Lost’ brigade are back out.

Christ he’s full of shite. Do people actually believe the crap he comes out with?

Imagine the outcry if a Labour MP had said similar things about ultra Zionists running London. They’d be out the job, and rightly so. Read the other day that we’ve seen similar rises in reports of Islamophobia as we have of antisemitism.

They want to believe it. 

Unfortunately, it's all the Tories have.

In their death throes desperately trying to appeal to rank thickos and bigots.

I'd imagine most Tory surpporters can't wait for Lee Anderson and his ilk to do one. They're an embarrassment

Didn't affect my morning mooch round Canopy Market at Kings Cross either.

The bloke charging 16 quid for a jar of honey nearly caused a heart attack though.

Plenty of bewildered Geordie's ahead of their game at arsenal tonight wandering around among the hipsters.

Missus is running a writing workshop at Queer Britain so I'm having a mooch round the middle class hipster mecca that the kings cross area has turned into.

If you're around Granary Square, firstly don't go to the lighterman - it's a rip off. Go to the Queer history museum (used to work at Art Fund whose offices are above and then walk directly away from all the other crap and down the canal (see the bench slow horses is flim on) and then go to the wetherspoons at Camden lock.

King's Cross is one of the best areas in London for boozing imo

Seems to be mainly overpriced soulless bars. That said Crawley's suggestion of spoons is hardly enticing.

Plus if I go too close to Camden I'll end up in All Ages records spending money i don't have on vinyl I don't need
