It’s depressing, watching reports coming in of a bigger and even nastier pro Palestine, pro Hamas, pro Jihad, anti-Semitic demonstration on London’s streets this afternoon. There are a few people, not anybody I know or knew who tried to counter protest in Whitehall. They got called ‘white trash’.

Harry’s Place, that stalwart site where Mary used to argue with naive left-wingers, back in the day, has some sobering videos.
For some reason effigies of dead and bloodstained babies are much in evidence. I don’t know if they are trying to show some sort of moral equivalence of tragic and unintended civilian collateral damage caused by the Israeli defence, or they are gloating at the babies killed by the Hamas terrorists on 7th October. If you have a gun, and you see a cot, and you hear a cry, and still you riddle that cot with bullets you KNOW you are killing a baby. That is reprehensible.
As for bouncing dead babies in a giant Palestinian flag words fail me.
Haven't seen a single peace sign so far. But there are som fake dead babies being bounced up and down on a giant flag so 🤷♂️ pic.twitter.com/WvdnWfQRK8

Chants of "Khayber Khayber ya yahud jaish al Mohammed Sa'ar Yaud" in Trafalgar Sq, while carrying a fake dead baby.
'Khayber Khayber O Jews the army of Mohammed is coming'
This is an anti Jewish hate crime@metpoliceuk pic.twitter.com/6tRwRCMrpU

‘Khayber Khayber O Jews the army of Mohammed is coming’ This is an anti Jewish hate crime
I’m fairly sure that Intifada – from London to Gaza is also a hate crime. As somebody else said, “if the police don’t have the balls to make arrests, send in the army. This is an undeclared war. ”
The question as to whether the Central London demonstration taking place now is a Pro Palestine or a pro Hamas demonstration is quickly being answered

It is outrageous that Synagogues have had to close their doors and conduct their Sabbath worship by zoom because in my home city THEY ARE NOT SAFE. Even when Mosley’s Blackshirts tried to roam the East End Synagogues did not close; worship didn’t cease.
Some idea of the numbers. Last week the police said 100,000 and the protestors said 300,000. This weeks is bigger.
Over 100,000 pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian supporters gather in London.

That is Westminster bridge with The Queen Elizabeth Tower and the clock known as Big Ben in the foreground.
The police have actually taken some action against one protestor today, as reported by the Telegraph
Police seized a placard bearing a swastika at Saturday’s pro-Palestine demonstration in London suggesting Israel was carrying out a Nazi-style genocide.
Two officers challenged one of the demonstrators after he was spotted carrying a small handwritten cardboard poster that drew a timeline between the German mass extermination of Jews in the 1940s to the Israeli bombing of Gaza this year. The Nazi swastika had been drawn alongside the “1940s holocaust” section and then a Star of David from the Israeli flag was etched next to the “2023 holocaust”.
… the officers insisted “you can’t display the Nazi symbol in public”.
The protester complained to police that they were “shutting my mouth, shutting my voice”, adding that his poster stated “a fact”. The placard was removed and the man was allowed to continue marching.
I mentioned Manchester. The Manchester Evening News report
They seem to be moving off now it’s dark, past the front of Westminster Abbey, and into Victoria Street which will take them past the Catholic Westminster Cathedral to Victoria Station. Sounds of Allah Akbar outside the Abbey where our Kings and Queens are crowned, and many of them are buried is disconcerting.

Trying to find some good in this other than the die-hard useful idiots who will not change their mind I see so many people realising that too many, and the wrong sort of person has been allowed into the country, that the police are weak, useless and not on our side. It has taken 15 years of patience but finally my friends and I are no longer a lone and fringe voice. But translating this into action is going to be easier said than done.
Update after my evening meal, it is kicking off outside Victoria Station.

John Donne was so right, LOL!
