A video has been circulated online which appears to show a military piper being shoved to the ground by a Metropolitan police officer.
The piper, identified by the cameraman as a veteran, appears to march at the police barricade being guarded by masked Met police officers.
In the video, an officer then appears to shove the piper away from the line and the man stumbles backwards before falling to the ground.
Widower Donald Bell, 64, and mother-of-two Anne White, 53, were blasted by furious veterans, MPs and the families of fallen soldiers for the climate change stunt that went unchallenged by police.
The demonstrators, who were joined by two others, trampled over wreaths and unveiled a banner reading 'Honour Their Sacrifice, Climate Change Means War' on the 100th anniversary of the memorial in central London.
...it took the Metropolitan Police at least half an hour to take this down, despite one of their cars being parked within sight of the monument.
The police often liken themselves to sheepdogs, guarding the flock of society against wolves and rustlers.
Well, if I owned a sheepdog that savaged the odd sheep whenever it felt like it, and rolled over to show its belly whenever a rustler showed up with a van, it'd be taking a one way trip to the vet...
You need to do a bit of research into that idiot piper Julia before you use his actions to berate the police.

Jaded, it didn't matter where he came from, or what he was, that nasty little shite copper had no right to assault him. IN any case, the issue is more the non-actions regarding XR.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the second story Jaded? Have you a plausible excuse for that one too?
ReplyDeleteWhen I had the honour of being on parade at the Cenotaph one year, I was told that only poppy wreaths sanctioned by the Crown and government of the day were allowed to be displayed there. The moronic action of the XR clowns should have been stopped by anyone, not just the Police, from taking place.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the goon dressed in combat gear appeared to carefully step between wreaths already laid, he had the arrogance to place a politically motivated symbol above the wreath laid on behalf of the Queen. A soldier's oath on enlistment swears allegiance to the Queen and in doing what he did not only shows great disrespect to the Crown, but to every loyal subject in the country, and the cretin did it in a British Army uniform. If there is no crime on the statute books for his action, the may be under civil law. Irrespective of that, he should be publicly nullified by anyone who knows him.
It was also noticed that the numpties all wore masks. More to do with not being recognised, I suggest, than anything to do to with the CCP virus.

Sorry. "villified", not "nullified".

@ Penseivat
ReplyDeleteNullified works just as well and probably more effective
To Anonymous from a different Anonymous, perhaps you were right first time. Myself, I would have preferred 'fucked off this mortal coil by a severe beating about the head with a police truncheon', or for the historians amongst us, for him to have been 'Blair Peached'.
ReplyDelete"You need to do a bit of research into that idiot piper..."
ReplyDeleteHe's not the focus. Is he?
"It was also noticed that the numpties all wore masks. More to do with not being recognised, I suggest..."
Given they've all been giving interviews, probably not.
Just correctly realised there was more chance of being stopped by the cops for non-mask wearing than disrespecting the war dead.
"...or for the historians amongst us, for him to have been 'Blair Peached'."
Heh!
"Blair Peached" definitely rings bells with oldies. I met a guy once who claimed to have broken his truncheon during that protest.
