Two-tier policing as only nine arrests at Unite The Kingdom march

9 arrests for violent fascists attacking police – 900 for grannies and disabled people holding placards

Tens of thousands of right-wing extremists have done their best to run riot in London today, including mass attacks on police lines to try to break through to peaceful anti-fascist counter protesters. It was all under the banner of far-right Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite The Kingdom’ march.

Unite The Kingdom?

Nine arrests were reported.

A week ago, around fifteen hundred people, mostly older and disabled, peacefully sat in Parliament Square holding placards condemning the Starmer regime’s decision to classify peaceful resistance as terrorism. Despite a police narrative claiming otherwise, there was zero violence by protesters – the same could not be said of the police.

Eight hundred and ninety people were arrested.

Former teachers’ union leader Kevin Courtney described the scenes he witnessed in London today:

Several thousand far-right protesters have ignored the restrictions placed on the Tommy Robinson demo by the police. They are blocking the anti-racism protesters’ route away from the demo, and so far the police do not have control of the far right.

This thuggery gives the lie to any notion that theirs was a demo for free speech. They are actively intimidating and threatening people exercising free speech. This is the natural outgrowth of the hate-filled messaging around some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

We have to take this as a warning. We have to come together now to oppose this new growth in racism and fascism. Mainstream politicians have to stop playing the racist/Reform tunes.

I hope everyone in Whitehall stays safe and that the police arrest all of these violent thugs blocking them and threatening them.

With nine arrests, his closing wish went unanswered.

Actual terrorists?

Journalist Sangita Myska filmed the fascist violence and wondered why these actual terrorists are not proscribed by the government as it has done to peaceful protesters:

The racist far-right has been behind all recent riots, but while the government grouped Palestine Action together with two foreign neo-Nazi groups for the parliamentary debate on the proscription order against the non-violent left-wing group, there has been not so much as a whisper from the Starmer regime about proscribing the far-right thugs on show today, in Southport and around buildings sheltering helpless refugees.

Glad to see the Metropolitan police are getting their priorities right. Those grannies are obviously a danger to this nations security. Poor facists loonies getting picked on by the thggish police force. It’s not on.

Over a quarter of a million people attend a rally in London exercising their democratic right to, and the far left call them ‘Far Right Facists’. How about you people have a long hard look in the mirror at yourselves and reflect on the Far Left Communist looking back at you. The arrogance and cognitive dissonance defies normal logic, while the playground level of debate is beyond comical. To you people anyone that doesn’t agree with your warped and simplistic view of the world is Far Right. It’s baffling and frustrating to realise how stupifyingly unsophisticated the far left are and that for nearly 30 years I wore the uniform that gave them the right to think like simpletons. You’ve had your say, now it’s the turn of the normal sensible members of our society to have their voices heard.

  Over a quarter of a million ? I think the official figure was 110,000 – that’s quite a way off quarter of a million.
  
  By contrast, Palestine marches in London attract 200,000 – 300,000 EVERY MONTH.
  
  When you start your piece with false claims, are we expected to take the rest of it seriously ?
