Niigata Jack said:What you mean again, he's a full time minge.
exiledclaseboy said:Yes but posturing about banning a march that never should or could have been banned and that he doesn’t have the authority to ban anyway, then backing down after the police clearly told him to wind his neck in and let them get on with their job is top level mingery even by his lamentable standards.
Darran said:The lads are ready for Saturday.
Glyn1 said:But that's exactly what they are doing. The march is deliberately scheduled to be later in the afternoon, after the Remembrance commemoration has ended. And the route will be far away from Westminster and the Cenotaph.
Londonlisa2001 said:It’s difficult to see anything other than an attempt to stir up as much trouble as possible by certain members of the government and certain newspapers so they can spend weeks saying how awful it all is in an effort to stoke culture wars.
The government’s only chance of avoiding generational level wipeout is to set fire to the country. They put themselves before anything else and will torch everything and everyone to try to retain some sort of relevance.
I’m not sure when remembrance became a target for political gain. But it’s beginning to look like it is being used as a weapon.
The March in Saturday is nowhere near the cenotaph. It’s at Hyde Park moving to the US Embassy which is miles from Whitehall. And it’s well after the two minute silence.
It’s ironic that some of those ‘protecting’ the cenotaph and being held up as patriots adorn themselves in tattoos of swastikas, the number 88, marks of the ‘14 words’ and similar. Amongst their ranks are holocaust deniers and people that genuinely think Jewish people should be eradicated. Every year the National Front marches to the cenotaph with no murmur from the press currently falling over themselves to ‘protect the Jewish community’.
Any attack on ANYONE in London or anywhere else is dreadful. Any anti semitism is utterly unacceptable. Any Islamophobia is utterly unacceptable. Hamas are horrific, murderous barbarians. The attacks by the Israeli government are unforgivable acts of horror on a largely innocent population.
All of these things can be true surely.
What better time to say this than remembrance weekend. Never again applies to everyone.
