Wasn’t planning on going, but am now seriously considering it. Why is Cruella getting involved.
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have sympathy for the Israelis that were impacted by the Hamas attack, but 10k Palestinians killed in 30 days is more than all the civilian casualties in the Ukraine war todate.
Wanting an end to Palestinian deaths is not the same as supporting Hamas.
If they’re not going to be be near cenotaph then fine. But you just know there will be some (on both sides) wanting it to kick off. I wouldn’t mind betting the two scumbags just let back onto the birdsite are getting their tuppence in as well.
And no, the government shouldn’t be making mileage out of this. They will though as it plays right into their agenda.
The way you’ve worded that response provides the reason why Cruella et al. did wade in. Because it’s a hypothetical for you, “oh, if that’s the case…” – it IS the case, but unless you’re part of the protest or following sympathetic sources, you’re simply unlikely to know that. In fact, you’re likely to assume the opposite. You’re likely to presume that this is something that goes right past the cenotaph because that’s exactly how the Tory agitators have framed it. As Tory Baroness Warsi called them: arsonists.
Yeah at least one of them, Tommeh, is actively organising marches as we speak. The rhetoric coming out of (I think, at present) 3 far-right marches is all about “defending the cenotaph” from “terrorism”. Predictable, which is why Cruella and the others are such reprehensible cunts.
They’re going from the rallying point which I believe is over a mile from the cenotaph to UN building which is even further away. Also it’s not happening until 1:45 p.m. which will be after all the happenings anyway.
There’s no “oh well if they do it this way then fine I guess” about it. It is, and never was, about the cenotaph. The only people who ever talked about it was the government, no one from the protest ever mentioned it.
