Ministers are to give police new powers to target repeated protests, aimed particularly at cracking down on demonstrations connected to Gaza, the Home Office has said.
The announcement, made the morning after almost 500 people were arrested in London for expressing support for Palestine Action, a proscribed organisation, could allow police to order regular protests to take place at a different site.
Britain takes another goose step into authoritarianism…
More fascism.
You don’t like, then maybe you should lawfully protest.
UK in a few years:
Why are the US and UK governments so against anti -Israel priests? It seems like more than generic “down with democracy and liberals,” or fascist ruler buddies looking out for each other, or the IDF training police. Is there a direct line of profit and/or power from Israel to the US and UK?
- Until recently any word against Israel was met with the antisemitism hammer. I don’t think they realise how outdated that view is.
- Their hands are deep in the cookie jar. They’ve been supplying arms for 50+ years. “You weren’t meant to kill people with them!”
- Trump in particular doesn’t really care. All he sees is an opportunity to make money rebuilding Gaza.
- U.K. leadership has a real problem standing in opposition to Trump. They’ll insult him in private, but whisper sweet nothings into his ear when in person. They think they’re being clever. They’re not.
Because jewish nazis need all the support we can give them. Well done UK!
Look at the US: a lot of Zionists aren’t Jews but instead they’re Christians.
The Zionists claim they represent the Jewish People (same as the NAZIs claimed they represented the Arian Race) but in reality they just represent themselves and other hateful individuals for whom the “lesser races” need to be taught their place.
Latching onto an “identity” is a pretty standard Fascist technique, though generally it’s a nationality rather than an ethnicity (and, curiously, the Fascists who latch onto an ethnicity - such as NAZIs and Zionists - are significantly more murderous than the ones who latch onto a nationality - such as the Italian or Spanish Fascists).
I think the Met needs to ask themselves if they are police or government goons. Police can choose what they feel they need to enforce if they are concerned about escalating a situation.
Interesting note: I saw the chair of the Met Police Federation was saying that officers are sick of the position they have been put in and is calling for politicians and senior officers to sort it out.
Today the home office says “go harder!”.
One of the hopes for a Labour government was that they would roll back the restrictions on our right to protest…
Oil! You got a loiscense for that there protest? No? Oill 'Ave to arrest yeh!
