Good of you to prove Rishi Sunak right on something, though, I suppose. Poor guy's having a shocker of a 2024 so far.
Police said he was arrested for assault before being de-arrested after officers reviewed footage. Demonstrators carrying Palestine flags charged towards Mr Ghorbani and attacked him before police stepped in to arrest the counter-protester. Mr Ghorbani was then hauled away from the scene as pro-Palestinian marchers continued to hurl abuse at him, shouting 'shame on you'.
If police see someone being attacked by a mob, they have to arrest the victim before viewing video that proves he's not? Can't they just go by the evidence of their own eyes? Do they all need to visit that well known high street branch of opticians?
Five further arrests were made at the march, including a man accused of carrying a shield and wearing a helmet, a woman said to be holding an an offensive placard, two men alleged to be chanting offensive slogans and one man for assault.
And the police are backpeddaling faster than a unicyclist who has found himself heading for the Grand Canyon!
'The arrest was not made in relation to the placard.'
No arrests were made in relation to placards. Not even the clearly illegal ones waved by the protestors. And if the arrest wasn't in relation to the placard, why did you lie to the arresstee about the reason?
The Met's PR division (currently having even more of a shocker than Sunak) were quick to get out a statement that was as full of holes as a Swiss cheese and which was promptly ratioed to oblivion on Twitter:
'Mr Ghorbani said that he would make a complaint after today's incident and that he was not given back his sign.
'I told the police they attacked me and I want to complain and they say go to police station near your home.'
He said that the UK is in 'serious danger' if police are allowed to support Hamas sympathisers against law-abiding protesters such as him.
You're not wrong. Of course, the police strongly refute such charges on social media:
They weren't the only ones beclowning themself yesterday, of course:
Welsh singer Charlotte Church joined the rally through the capital weeks after sparkling a backlash by attending a concert in aid of Gaza and singing a lyric that critics claimed could be construed as anti-Semitic. Ms Church told the crowd that the Government labelling the protests as threatening is 'total propaganda'.
Voice of an angel, mind of Jeremy Corbyn...
Why is it that it's only the Islamist supporting morons who are trying to force everyone to follow their political and religious beliefs, by these carefully planned mass demonstrations? I would suggest that a large part of them are being paid to do this; some are anarchists out to destroy society; and I wonder how many are illegal small boat invaders, which the numpties in government are allowing through in their thousands.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the demonstrations by Jews and their supporters against anti-Semitism, or against Hamas's murders, rapes, and tortures? The reason is that the Met and most other Police forces would stop them, kettle them, and arrest them, "to prevent a breach of the peace", whilst allowing the pro-Palestinian marches to continue.
Shakespeare had it wrong. This country is turning into a septic isle.

If these muppets care so much about the Palestinians, why aren't they protesting against Hamas deliberately using them as pawns in their political games?
ReplyDeleteAs I keep saying, it's not laziness, incompetence or even cowardice. it's that they are 'on the other side', they 'are' the enemy.

ReplyDeleteThey have jobs and lives, and thus things to fear losing.

Because they aren't bright enough.

I'm starting to believe this too.
