"Why is it when white British people do a protest march it is deemed as far right, most of the people I saw on the march were middle age or elderly, behaving in an orderly manner, with no right wing banners or chanting. Just genuine British people concerned about being heard. Ok for pro palestinian , anti jewish marches. " Very true x  | |||

"The problem is that people always look to blame someone else for their problems when they should be looking in the mirror " That’s a very broad generic statement, can you explain in more detail please? | |||

"The problem is, it's not the protest itself it's who is fronting it and the underlaying of the tone of it all. I also think the pro Palestine protest as gone on too long as well and that's gone so far that it's looped round to being as bad as the unite the kingdom march as well." 🇬🇧 Unite the Kingdom need to go on tour because Scotland are definitely wavering 🏴 | |||

"I don’t think this is the place for politics but since you ask it’s because it’s been organised by the far right There is NO such thing as the ‘far right’ only Daily Fail readers and watchers of the BBC believe that. Never mind baaaa baaaa" In politics, the term "far right" refers to an ideology situated at the extreme end of the right-wing spectrum. It is typically characterized by extreme nationalism, nativism, strict social hierarchy, and authoritarian tendencies.The concept is an umbrella term encompassing a variety of related ideologies and themes. Core Ideological Pillars Extreme Nationalism: The belief that the nation-state is supreme, often combined with an "us vs. them" mentality that prioritizes the dominant ethnic or cultural group. Nativism and Anti-Immigration: A strong opposition to immigration and globalization, driven by the view that native culture or jobs need strict protection from outside influence. Authoritarianism: A preference for strong, centralized leadership and a belief that individual liberties can or should be subordinated to maintain social order. Traditionalism: A focus on enforcing or returning to "traditional" social structures, religious morality, and conservative family values. Ideological Variations The far-right is not a single, unified movement, but rather spans a spectrum of political groups and beliefs: Radical Right (Populist): Focuses heavily on anti-immigration, national sovereignty, and anti-establishment populism. These parties generally operate within democratic systems but push illiberal policies. This is just copy and pasted from Google... Sounds pretty familiar right? | |||

" the government and the media have succeeded in dividing the country and now everyone is perceived to be either far left or far right there’s no in between. But I do see one side as very dangerous openly spreading hate violence and their ideals are the most dangerous of all. I’m sorry a lot won’t like hearing this but it’s the left. Don’t let your kids go to university they are evil institutions and they all have agendas " No violence from the right then? | |||

"Whilst acknowledging in a free society we have a right to demonstrate I really cannot see the point in them. Do governments take any notice of them? Doubt it. Does anybody? Cannot see the Israeli government altering course because a few thousand people demonstrate in a city thousands of miles away. The Gazan authorities probably have a good laugh if they see newsreels from London with banners saying 'Poofs for Palestine' or 'Gays for Gaza'. As for the Toomy Robinson type marches people just seem to envisage trouble even if they are peaceful and there is no clashes with counter-demonstrators. Usually means extra policing at extra tax-payers expense." Many of the things we take for granted now were all achieved through protest. | |||

"Based off my comments on this thread. I got a PM that simply read: "Death to all Muslims" Obviously you've been reported. Are these the words of a proud patriotic Englishman? So proud you send me a PM rather than say it in public. Or are these the words of a knuckle dragging hate filled racist? " Disgusting, imagine writing that about Jews! Just because they've gone underground and so we don't hear that much about them as a result no-one should think that British National Socialism is a thing of the past. | |||

Governments in the past did listen to protests about greater democracy, workers rights etc. Don't think governments listen these days. Put most protests down as a jolly, a day out. Still say protesting against another government thousands of miles away is pointless. | |||

The purpose of the pro-Palestine marches is not to illicit change in Tel Aviv directly but to encourage their own governments to change their stances and cease their blind support of a fascist regime guilty of deplorable crimes against humanity. Only pressure (political, financial and even military) from the rest of the world will guarantee this change. You may well be right and the current government will refuse to listen (it is, after all, the most openly Zionist government in living history) but this government can't go on forever and change will eventually come. If parties want to achieve power they must listen to the people. Or are we not living in a democracy? Either way, marching out in the street to decry injustice is far better than doing nothing at all and effectively condoning it. | |||

The fact that ordinary, respectable people - as opposed to rabble-rousers - are being arrested and dragged into court for doing nothing more than waving a placard or wearing a t shirt with words on it that the government doesn't like, is a sign that they very much ARE listening, and they clearly don't like it.
They won't admit it, but it is an embarrassment to them. Apart from the nasty authoritarian aspect of it, it makes them look stupid and ineffectual, and they just want it to go away. | |||

If only it was as simple as just words…it’s still 2-tier policing- but let’s just gloss over that "Double standards… it’s only words, after all.

I hope he's doing alright as I haven't heard from him in a while. It just sickens me to see people running defence for the Islamic extremists going around stabbing random Jews. They'd do it to Christians too if they could. What I think a lot of Pro-Palestine people don't get is that a lot of Palestinians, not all, but enough for it to be a problem, are so extreme even other Muslim countries don't want them. That's the group so many in Britain today are protesting for. | |||

Pms meant to intimidate someone who purely provided definitions of degrees of belief, just words. But sent with an implicit threat, words are powerful. Ask any great orator…from Martin Luther King to Adolf Hitler and many more, agree or disagree with their messages but it is never just words.what were the words then ? You seem to know what was deemed offensive & by whose standards? - our wonderful police have chosen their side & arrest people for ridiculous things these days & it all just goes into one pot labelled “far right “ - some of us can see a bigger picture playing out here & some choose their bits they don’t like "I was merely quoting the ‘just words’ that was used in a post. Making the point that it is never just words, from either side…ref the two orators I mentioned…somewhat opposing in views. I have no insight as to what is deemed acceptable and not, however if ‘the bigger picture’ that has the spotlight .. I don’t know what that is, but pensioners arrested for pro Palestine banners & arrests for banners on the other march in town on Sunday seems pretty even handed to me, wether I agree or disagree with either sides ‘words’ | |||
