I genuinely surprised how many Jewish individuals and organisations there are here on the demo today. And they aren't just here but willing to identify themselves as Jewish.
Very strange for an alledged hate march which is apparently frightening the Jewish community.
Here's another bit of footage from Chinatown, as police battle far right thugs throwing missiles.
Thanks for that ^^ I was wondering where that column of territorial support vehicles were going.
Barely any police visible on the ceasefire march.
Braverman's Brownshirts indeed. Will the Daily Mail be Hurrah-ing them again, like they did in the 30s?
Couldn't be any clearer - a direct link between this government's rabble-rousing and a right-wing demo/riot at the Cenotaph.
Shows how far we have fallen that the Prime Minister's words and (lack of) actions are a contributory factor.
I suppose an 11am ruck works nicely in time for a 3 o’clock kick off. Another dimension for the away-day crowd.
A march on Armistice Day asking for a war to stop - unconscionable.
🙄
Well done to folk of all faiths or none who are marching for peace today.
And well done to the British Legion for standing up and saying they had no problem with a peace march, don’t cancel it in their name.
A couple of counter-demonstrators being completely ignored by the thousands walking past
Wonder why he needed safety boots?
Barely any police visible on the ceasefire march.
Because its well marshalled and they know its unlikely to cause trouble?
The only trouble is likely to be if the fascist bootboys get anywhere near it in any numbers.
BBC now reporting that 80 of Bravermans Brownshirts have been arrested,, this is going well for her isn't it?
Is it one of you lot with the banner saying "Suella sucks ass"?
I only see their posts because of 'know your enemy' but seeing claims on the comments below the likes of Fox and Corcoran and Grimes, that the RW protests have only kicked off because of infiltrators just there to light the blue touch paper and wait for the police to react at which point the thugs will see it as an invite.
Which I guess can't be ruled out completely, but jeez, what have we come to when Braverman has basically asked for this to happen.
Just sent this to my local bootlicker (sorry MP)
"I would just like to express my outright disbelief in the fact that we have a home secretary who has through her actions essentially triggered disorder in London by the racist far right today.
I understand that your party is relying on dog whistle politics now rather than actually trying to govern based on the best thing for the country.
Can you please explain why her actions are acceptable to the prime minister and your party? "
Wonder if I will get a reply

she's certainly got the face for it
Good on you for attending the ceasefire march ernie.

What about the ripped trousers and bloody knees?

Yes she can claim she was right about how right wing protesters are treated differently than the left wing ones.
Ok she will need to skip over a few minor details about how they behave differently but for someone as dishonest as her that is easy enough.
Cold War Steve perfectly captures the scenes

why does twitter not show like it used to?
Well what a surprise. The overwhelming problems come from the far right lot and their rallying points are pubs.
So Armistice Day was marred by the very people that went there to "protect" it.
I suspect it wont be pretty tonight but hopefully all the people there for the Armistice (really there for that, I mean, not a punch up ) and protestors are home safely.
I'm guessing Tommy boy had to be somewhere urgently, repelling an attack at the local McDonald's perhaps? Defender of the Big Mac. Such a shame he went full on Trump and "would be with them all the way"... until he wasn't. Oh dear oh dear.
I'm loving the phrase "Bravermans brownshirts" Lets hope it gets into common usuage
Very misleading headline from the express
.
" More than 80 arrested in Remembrance Day protest march clashes between far right and pro-Palestinians "
.
There was no 'clash' between the two, in fact as we all know the far right thugs were nowhere near the pro Palestinian marchers yet the express is implying the two groups have come together and some sort of fighting broke out.
The Met posted a video showing counter-protesters shoving police officers and chanting: “You’re not English, you’re not English, you’re not English anymore.”
I'm sure the Heddlu officers I saw yesterday helping out the policing today are having a wry smile at that.
^^ Lol, I don't know any Heddlu officers were there. I wont lie, I'm glad my son wasn't, he's based down in Kent so pretty local but sounds like he's been in the station all day. "Paperwork" or summut. He has his own language now and I don't understand most of it. 😁
This is so similar to Trump and the Proud Boys, I think we have to assume it’s not a coincidence.

Yep, including the Trump/ Yaxley flounce. Oh, with more beer and kebabs though.
Loving how they were marched out of that pub one at a time being very compliant. Likely as some of the idiots had weapons/drugs on them according to the Beeb.
What patriots.🙃
Beeb also reporting that some of the arrested have convictions for football hooliganism. Again. Shocker.

That's interesting. I was taken aback earlier by how Muslim looking police officers were present today, I even saw a policewoman wearing a hijab, I've never noticed that before. I also noticed that there were police vehicles from places as far away as Lancashire and West Merica.
I started to wonder whether they had deliberately used as many Muslim officers as possible. Then it suddenly occurred to me how humiliating it would be for Braverman's thugs to be arrested by Muslim police officers.

Cruella has been using the Trump playbook from day 1. Whipping up division with her toxic conspiracy theories and lies.
Unfortunately I think we’ve much worse to come from her as she know she has a strong power base within the Tory MPs and members who thoroughly approve of what she’s doing.
She’ll have been loving seeing Yaxley-Lennon and his thugs today as it was exactly what she wanted to incite. As there as been no sanction on her as Sunak is so weak and spineless, she’ll now double down and ratchet up the nationalist rhetoric even further

I wish the press would stop showing photos of that turd. Cant they just show a taxi wheelspinning away leaving his marks standing there to face the cops?
^^ In hoping the flounce was captured on camera by someone though.
I don't do Twitter now, anyone seen it posted?
The little weasel did a runner in a cab as soon as it kicked off.

EDIT: I don’t know why Twitter links don’t display any more like they used too. Here’s a screenshot
if you project the trump playbook to it’s inevitable conclusion they will have plans to steal power. :/
Suella literally wants to be PM so yep, unfortunately.
He cant help himself can he?
Dogwhistling to the racists whilst avoiding his own responsibility for it.
Sod talking to the met commissioner talk to his own ministers.
Yeah, I'd be surprised if he sacks her after such a weasely statement like that. Spineless.
It takes some doing when you manage to give the Met the moral high ground

Sack her? He clearly has to ask her permission before he can do anything
What this shows, beyond any doubt, is that he’s so scared of Cruella and the far right headbangers, that she’s actually now PM in all but name.
It’s obvious that she can say and do what she likes, including making up policy on the hoof and there’s not a damn thing he’s prepared to do about it
Id Sunak commenting on a movie he just saw?
Not sure this is based on today's events.
