Pro-Palestinian protest draws 300,000 in London, as police make counter-protest arrests - BBC News - eviltoast

So, the only “hate” here was from the people opposed to a ceasefire! Time for Braverman to go.

    Yes, which is why around 150 people on the main march were arrested for either that or vocal supprt for Hamas

      The 150 arrests were mostly Tory party sympathisers, who came out after the home secretary’s kind words about the homeless, immigrants, and Palestinians.

            The likes of Tommy Robinson and his far-right goons are not sympathetic to the Conservative Party. You think they like having a brown man as Prime Minister?

            And it’s fairly obvious that pro-Palestine marchers are not Conservative voters either.

              They only came out because braverman started talking smack about the protests. They’ve been going on for weeks already with no issue but suddenly. Now she gets involved and suddenly the EDL turns up. 🤔

              She’s a right-wing mouthpiece and they are right wing hate groups, the two are linked.

              Ok yeah, I won’t say no to that… My wording was more directed to Braverman’s pro right wing stance. But you are right on that point.

          Confusing strategy to make a claim that’s so easy to prove wrong. Did you:

          a) Not look at the actual police report, and either a.1) uncritically repeat a claim you saw on, I don’t know, Stormfront, or a.2) make up a number?

          b) Look at the police report, but hope by not providing a link to it that nobody would bother to check?

          For clarity:

          Counter-protesters made up the “vast majority” of 126 arrests made, police said, while nine officers were injured.

          Those officers were injured on Whitehall as they prevented a violent crowd getting to the Cenotaph while a remembrance service was taking place, he said.

      Indeed.

      OP seemed to be suggesting that the only hate was from the far-right agitators.
