Should any marches around or near the Cenotaph this weekend not be allowed?

🙀

Oh GrannyGravy why oh why are they allowed to carry that,

I see Corbyn is in the front row with John Macdonald; say no more.

He is no peacemaker.

They must be so excited

Are there any banners calling for peace? Or are they just hate-filled banners?

Was it just the veterans at the Cenotaph who were praying for peace?

Just the veterans at the Cenotaph,

Palastine flag wavers standing behind police who are having a tussle with Union Jack flag wavers

So, encouraged by our delightful Home Secretary, the far right thugs are out in London punching police officers. Some of them have swastika tattoos I see. What do you think of them Kandinsky? Just a 'matter of opinion'

But he has two peace prizes 2013 the Ghandi Peace prize, 2017 the Sean McBride peace prize

I’ve just been watching both sky and the bbc, and am so relieved to see such a peaceful March by those calling for a ceasefire.

I weep at the news coming out of Gaza today, and felt absolutely traumatised when seeing a mother rocking and trying to console her 2 year old daughter who’d had both her legs blown off and there was no pain killers for the little soul.

The march so far has gone peacefully the only problems have been with the people objecting to the march trying to stir up trouble. According to the BBC about 80 counter protesters have been arrested.

A peaceful march for Palestine with children and families.

A right wing march tries to reach the cenotaph. Mostly men, some giving Nazi salutes. They throw bottles at the police www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvgk7txA7hM

Frankly I think those participating from all faiths and none should be congratulated for their cognisance of this day of sacred memory, and their respectful behaviour.

A total and disgusting disgrace- and they call themselves British Patriots just sick. Wearing swastikas and making nazi salutes.

No families, women ad children there, Are you proud of them Kandinsky?

And again, this is not a matter of a 'difference of opinion' or 'freedom of speech'- it is about intent, nasty, vile, and totally disrespectul intent- at the Cenotaph.

The other March was planned and took place a long way away.

Oh how I wish I'd moved to France before Brexit. I absolutely despair of our feeble, unhumanitarian government leaders.. even now that the main hospital inGaza is completely without supplies, electricity, water and food these ghastly people don't call for a ceasefire.. I simply don't believe that they can continue not only allow this genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza to continue but also say that Israel has the right to continue.. it's truly wicked

Just beyond vile

pascal, President Macron has now clearly stated there should be a ceasefire, that indiscriminate bombing of civilians is illegal, and that he hopes others will join him - including the UK and the USA. Bravo.

I loathe Tommy Robinson but I also have had deep concerns about the pro Palestine marches, which have included racism, its just a racism that is seen as different from TR's brand of racism.

The police have said that they will review footage and those breaking the law will be traced and dealt with. However listening to a police commentator, they are pleased and satisfied that the peace March is just that.

President Macron did not say that Israel's bombings were breaking international humanitarian law, so not illegal. He made it perfectly clear he is not a judge. Just he is calling for a ceasefire.

The judgement of Sir Mark Rowley appears to be vindicated.

Yes I am sure he did say that. Their handling of the last few weeks has been interesting to say the least.
I dont even know what definition people are using with regard to peace. People have used it on here to describe marches which have included three arrests for terrorism related offences.

I find your response to me both offensive and uninformed.
And exceedingly rude!

My post was neither offensive nor uniformed. I expressed a different point of view to you. In this country that is allowed. I didn’t speak about you or say anything with regard to you. However you chose to be rude and offensive to me. Having a different opinion from you is neither offensive nor uniformed, it is simply different.

You said "people who have been marching on previous weekends have committed hate crimes by calling for
Jews to be eliminated"
If you had put "some people" then I wouldn't have taken umbrage with your post, but you didn't and your post read, in my opinion, that everybody taking part in the marches had committed hate crimes, etc, etc.
That was the point I was trying to make, not everybody on the marches hold those views.

Tommy Robinsons supporters remind me of those football hooligans that used to travel round the world causing trouble. Neither of them really interested in the cause they purport to support but just going anywhere that can get them into a fight.

you are right, he stopped at saying that directly, but if you listen again, this is clearly what he was saying- that Israel's Defence has to abide by International law.
