Got dragged down the town by the Mrs. today. Shopping! Nae matter how bad we are, going to Dens on a Saturday is way way better than shopping. Anyway managed a quick pint in the Bank Bar, then shopping and we head to Henry's for a coffee before the bus, right into the moronic 'demonstration' for Palestine in the City Square. WTF are these folk all about. From the short time listening to the rabble there was hellish little about the progress in obtaining peace or moving on. It was still all hatred of the Jews, freedom for Palestine etc. Didn't hear "from the river to the sea" but definitely heard " global intifada"! One guy, braver than me, said something back to them and the hostility he got from the mob was disturbing. That bunch of loonies will never accept 'peace' in the Middle East; all they want is the destruction of Israel, death to the Jews etc.; without their 'cause' they would be lost. They'll be at it for years.
There were definitely things said that, were it the other way round, i.e. against Islam that would be 'racist' talk and no doubt attract action but 8/10 cops stood at the end of Reform Street and did nothing. I'm gradually, no more quickly, coming around to the view that we certainly do have serious problems with Islamic fundamentalism in this country and I fear for the future. The real racism in this country is largely coming from those who claim, wrongly imo, that they are the victims of racism. The left, the Islamic lobby, the illegal immigration apologists are all, to be fair, good at one thing. Gaslighting! They, unfortunately, have fooled most of the media and a lot of the population. Worrying!!
