Right, the old gipper didn't break a nose therefore shouldn't be arrested.

Neither did Lucy Connelly, nor indeed the Councillor.

Age isn't and shouldn't be a defining factor as to whether someone is arrested.

Neither should an individual's perception of what should or shouldn't be a crime.

Whether that arrest subsequently leads to prosecution is a different matter- CPS have to decide whether it is in the public interest etc.

The legal profession also have a duty to ensure fairness and equality throughout. 

Laws can be altered, scrapped or made anew according to the politics/society of the day, and people can lobby for that.

A question I've raised before: what are these  people actually demonstrating over?

The war in Gaza or the proscribed group?

The first is easy to do and won't result in action.

The second is an organisation that has repeatedly attacked British companies and military establishments.

I'd suggest a good number are misguided, and ought to know better.

You were there then?

I note from the pictures a number of Irish flags, that says a lot.

Aye ... Irish flags everywhere mate. Understandable with what's going on there.

I travelled down with loads. Some numb cunts obviously.

But some just normal folk. Couples and families. Felt a bit surreal.

Couldn't help but think how the fuck have we got to this point.

We've been failed.

Hang on, and relating to another thread....you say that is a very low percentage, your words not mine.

With the same logic, very low percentage and "proportion"  how exactly does that equate to a genocide in Gaza ?

Will leave the lefty mathematicians to deal with that whilst I sleep ☺ x

14 years of Tories and hardly a peep from the cunts. 1 year of Labour (who are actually turning things around if you look beyond the headlines), and it's time for revolution. Do you not find the timing a bit odd?

Was a bit of a strange crowd on the trains down to be honest. A mix of absolute notrights and couples in their 60s in union flag T-shirts and copies of the Daily Mail tucked under their arm.

No bother either way on the train either way so I do have to say they were respectful. The big group singing Rule Britannia and oh Tommy, Tommy on the Tube were a bit intimidating to say the least, but I suppose no different to a group singing on their way to the match.

No doubting there were some massive numbers involved and I suppose there’s some part of me that things good on them for believing in something, but it’s not for me and tbh as a soft lefty I’d have been heading the other way on the WCML if I’d have known it was going on today.

I think this is past a labour tory thing.

The Tories have created this whole mess. Brexit included.

Labour are trying and for me are doing OK. But the public tide of opinion has gone big style.

I walked out of Euston today thinking what the fuck is going on.

Oh Tommy  🤦🏻 that’s Poland 

 

 

Whether it’s 100,000 or a million… Leeds would have taken more.

Yeah, millions of thickos have been given the directions to find their voice. If they think Farage is the answer to their problems, they're in for a massive shock. It's going to be fucking hilarious.

TBF this sort of thing has been going on years 

TR has been at it for years for sure

That Muslim ray guns video was from an EDL march in 2011

Loads of protests and riots after COVID and BLM and all that

Farage was at it for years during Tory power

I don't think it's Tory v Labour 

Not now, not then 

And it's not just in this country

Subliminal messaging. I know what you're up to. Population growth.

Either to increase NHS workload and job protection or to restore ethnic balance.

Surreptitious.

The only way the boats will stop is when they are turned back. I just hope there isn't a 4 years + wait for it to start.

In your opinion

It’s not an opinion that there wasn’t a million

 It’s a fact 😄

But yes, it was peaceful from the vast majority that attended. And tbf the organisers were very clear it was to be a peaceful, family friendly event.

 Glad that you & your flag had a nice day out x

Hundred thousand Twitter addicts marching through London to pay homage to their Grand Mekon addressing them from Mars or wherever will make fk all difference, ten times as many marched to stop the Iraq invasion and that still happened.

It'll be old news by Tuesday when Trump rolls into town.

Then the UK Tesla dealers can breathe a sigh of relief!
