    He’s got no respect.
    I saw a tweet today and it had been called out as a fake interview. In the thread it had others saying it was a genuine radio interview

    Armistice = a truce, an agreement to stop fighting.
    As a proud wearer of a poppy all my life in remembrance of my relatives who died horrific deaths in war, I can't think of a more appropriate day to have an anti war March against an horrific war going on today.

    This is not a march to stop a war this is a march to show support to a terrorist organisation that killed mothers and baby’s. I would feel the same if it was a march in support of Israel. It’s tragic all these innocent people killed on both sides but that’s not what the march is about. If you believe it’s about stopping a war you are incredibly naive.

    If people feel better having a march, fair enough, but it's not going to have any influence at all. Countries have now lined up behind their preferred winner.

    Is it an anti war march or is it as it's referred to a Pro Palestinian March .

    The latter would be a totally different thing altogether .

    Now I've read lots of content this week concerning what people fought for including freedoms of expression and free speech for instance .

    Well that's not exactly true , free speech and expression comes with responsibility and has legal obligations , you can't say what the hell you like and you can't promote what the hell you like either .
    Speeches or demonstrations calling for Jihad are illegal under UK law , such as this one .

    I'd also say that organising a Pro Israeli march or demonstration currently with the conflict going on in let's say Dewsbury town centre would also be especially problematic legally and not a particular great idea .

    A march for peace in my opinion would involve visibly seeing the Palestine flag alongside the Israeli one with people from both sides of this divide calling for a ceasefire or an end to this conflict as one .

    A Pro Palestinian march in London today doesn't in my opinion tick any of those boxes considering it was Hamas who attacked the Israelis and they have retaliated in order to protect their people and borders .

    Just for the record I've no dog in this fight , both sides have have as much blood on their hands as each other .

    A two state solution is my position .

    But let's not kid ourselves here either , today is not a march for peace in central London , it's a Pro Palestinian March and people on it need to be aware of what it is they are marching for , the annihilation of Israel is part of it .

    I've seen them as well on tv.

    This need not have happened! They should have not allowed the Pro-Palistine march.

    What is far right?
    Don't get me wrong some idiots about but isn’t it labelling.
    Last week clashes with Palestine supporters and police reported totally differently.
    Why ?

    Strange logic that one frog. Both events can go off without violence. No one is forced to attend the armistice day commemorations nor should they be and no body is forced to do the Palestinian demo nor should they be. Each to their own. Just cos some idiots are spoiling for a fight that shouldnt affect your choice.
