From the Jewish Chronicle; good as we are the co-reporter and I could not be everywhere on Sunday.
A person shouting “thank you IDF” during the March Against Antisemitism in central London today (Sunday 7th) was reportedly told to stop by a police officer.
According to a fellow protester who saw the confrontation, the marcher, whose friend had been murdered during the October 7 attacks, was expressing gratitude towards the Israeli military for protecting Israeli friends and relatives.
Speaking to the JC, the witness said: “Maybe a passer-by had been upset by the comment and reported it to one of the policemen. So the officer told the person to not shout ‘IDF.
“He didn’t say, don’t shout it in people’s face, don’t shout it at passers-by, which makes sense. He said, ‘don’t shout IDF’. Because IDF is apparently an inflammatory term. I think the policeman handled it badly. How could ‘RAF’ inflammatory?”
Actually I have been in a situation where a song about “the RAF (from England)” didn’t go down as well as might be expected, but maybe the other lines of that one were too near the knuckle)
The Met was contacted for comment.

In the UK, walls have ears…
The master haters and their trainee mindless intense dislikers, will continue to bilk their ilk for as long as it takes to flush and drain what passes for their all-bone brains.
This kind of police censorship of the good, right and true is a function of a cultural Marxist in the schools, colleges, universities and media of Great Britain. The result is that the great dead white males (and some females) who upheld the great conversation of Western civilization no longer inform the average citizen of the UK. Those marvelous and often quirky virtues of the typical Englishman and woman have been banned and chased away. Ray Bradbury in his book and the film based on it predicted what would happen when the censors destroy the old custom of reading great books. This film should be shown in every classroom in the UK and Ireland.
