London’s Metropolitan Police said that physical violence by far-right thugs and football hooligans on the city’s streets Saturday was more dangerous than the far-larger pro-Palestinian demonstration that was largely peaceful.
Blamed?? It’s on camera
The passive voice over Saturday is beyond insane. Largest protest in London’s history ending in a few symbolic arrests versus an explicit call to cause violence and harass muslims and protestors. Either the EDL thugs are “blamed” for unrest (despite clear evidence) or it’s “both sides”.
Sunak doing the tried and true “there were good and bad people on both sides”. Yeah, I’m sure the 120 arrested is in any way comparable to the 300,000 that were there. The PM and (edit: former) Home Secretary are absolute cretins.
“Very fine people.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
London’s Metropolitan Police said that physical violence by far-right thugs and football hooligans on the city’s streets Saturday was more dangerous than the far-larger pro-Palestinian demonstration that was largely peaceful.
An estimated 300,000 people took to London’s streets on Saturday — as protesters did across other major European cities such as Paris and Brussels — to call for a cease-fire in Israel’s bombing campaign on Gaza.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak blamed the violence on far-right “thugs” and “Hamas sympathizers” who had gtried to infiltrate the march.
“This group were largely football hooligans from across the U.K. and spent most of the day attacking or threatening officers who were seeking to prevent them being able to confront the main march,” Twist said in a statement late Saturday.
Twist said some breakaway groups from the pro-Palestinian rally behaved in an “intimidating manner” with arrests made after officers were struck in the face with fireworks, but there was no comparable level of violence to the football hooligans.
“There were also a number of serious offenses identified in relation to hate crime and possible support for proscribed organizations during the protest that we are actively investigating,” said Twist.

“pro hamas signs and clothing” just means anything supporting Palestinian resistance and perhaps a keffiyeh. it’s all projection anyway since the ones actually out there calling for terrorism are the EDL thugs

Two guys
they found two guys
Two guys is technically some people. Interesting choice to post an article from Times of Israel.
Two guys is enough for them to say 300,000 people are just anti-Israeli bigots. It could be no guys and they’d still pretend.
Yeah I’m not believing a word from the Times of Fucking Israel
Citation needed. I’ve only seen Palestinian flags.
