Needed a piss in Stratford after a long swim and a couple of pints and toilet was closed so headed home. How revolutions are lost.

Enjoyable day though.

In photos: Palestine solidarity demo outside Brockwell Park gates

Waving banners and flags, a Palestine solidarity demo took place today outside Brockwell Park Gates ahead of a march to the Israeli Embassy in Marble Arch. Buzz photographer Gramsci captured these …

Thanks for putting this on Brixton Buzz.

As one can see local Labour Party branches supported this South London local demo.

Passers by did support it. Honking their car horns.

Predictably I didn't see any of my Labour Cllrs their. Being from the Blairite/Progress wing of party they wouldn't attend anything like this.

was there an anti-vax march today too? and if so did the streams cross?

Yeah there was. My friend and I mistakenly got out at Green Park and there were a bunch of people waiting and a little in the distance what looked like a very small anti vax march.

Some women asked if we were there for the cheese board?

I hope you said yes, snaffled all their cheese and then got going to where you were meant to be...

 

[kalidarkone]

this account has a lot of video of police clashes

I was in that location and realised that the march was purposely being led into a cul-de-sac (as the side roads and one end of Kensington High Street were blocked by cops) tbh was not sure what was going on as could not see but felt unsafe so after making very little headway towards the Israeli Embassy and the crowd became even more dense....I insisted we turn around , which from the sounds of it was a good call, specially as my friend is 75 yrs and 4ft9 !!!
Good job we left when we did.

I could not see any cheese! But I might go on a cheese board tour.......

Saw this posted on facebook today

Apparently the banners say something like "disband the police" (guessing that's the Hebrew/Arabic one with the circle-A) and "dismantle the Gaza Ghetto" (presumably on the English/Hebrew one). Which is a pretty bold slogan. I've also seen someone suggesting this photo is actually from 2018, but even if it is I would guess the banner-makers are probably up to similar stuff now.

Also, a bit late but the Collective Action people did another of those interactive maps - up to 78 this weekend, twitter thread with details here.

Also, Green and Black Cross asking for people to do arrestee support today (again, a bit late so idk if it's still needed but might be).

I also saw this today on facebook. Don't know where this is though. It's from twitter originally and it said it's from the diaspora on the original twitter post:

 

[hitmouse]

Yep, I've tried and failed to find a source beyond that fairly vague asranarshism post - any architecture experts who can identify the fancy building they're standing outside?

When you need a dopamine hit but your religion forbids cocaine. Drive around a Jewish neighbourhood with a megaphone shouting edgy rapey bits from the Koran.

 

[Shechemite]

Yeah there’s been reports of ‘yeah Jews do you remember khyber, eh eh” chants on other demos in Europe.

ethnic/religious hatred. The gift that keeps on giving

Well they will hopefully all get nicked. Stupidity if they are their own cars. And bang out of order too. Puts the Palestine protests back a bit.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

A shame that the behaviour of a minority of idiots will now no doubt overshadow everything

 

[MrSki]

Maybe the video is a fake.

Finchley Road takes no prisoners. Cameras everywhere x

Nope

Optimistic there's clearly a megaphone and I've heard the same crap on previous gaza demos. Minority of cunts though.

I saw it on the news so would think a journalist would check it was real but judging by the state of British journalism I can see how it could have slipped through.

 

[Pickman's model]

Nope

yeh at a guess. and what's your alternative?

you cannot hope to bribe or twist
(thank god!) the british journalist
but seeing what they'll do
unbribed there's no occasion to

 

[Shechemite]

There’s other videos of the convoy. Not sure what ‘fake’ would mean in this context.

do these other videos persuade you of the date and location?

 

[Pickman's model]

A shame that the behaviour of a minority of idiots will now no doubt overshadow everything

even in better times the behaviour of a an organised criminal gang of about 350 thugs exerts a grossly disproportionate influence on the life of the country

 

[Shechemite]

Location yes. Date. Not sure.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I've no idea about this specific video, but mad theories about reddit moderators are really just grasping. It's not like it would be the first anti-semitic bullshit present around a Free Palestine protest. Obviously anti-semites will try to get their oar in.

 

[Mr Moose]

Maybe the video is a fake.

How can they ‘condemn’ the behaviour if they believe it is fake? Down with this sort of thing.

 

[kebabking]

I liked the couple of blokes in Saddam Hussein t-shirts. They were well cool...

 

[MrSki]

The audio has been dubbed. Don't know who might want to do this?

ETA According to the news on 5Live 4 arrests have been made though.
