Careless Tories!

What I have heard is that the Met is currently scouring video of both sides, looking at placards. Where the placard breaks the Law they intend to use the video to trace the perp and make an arrest, They are doing the same with regard to chants, if it breaks the Law try to trace the perp and make an arrest. That seems a reasonable thing to me.

If applied even handedly through to bringing to justice, excellent. ‘Even handedly’ is the key

You may or may not agree with the pro Palestinian marchers on Saturday, AF...but you surely don’t believe that they set out with the same intentions as Robinson’s mob of assorted right wing bully boys and bored football hooligans.

Personally I deplore the actions of Hamas on 7th October, but I find it very difficult to differentiate between the ‘terrorism’ they employed on that sad day and the actions of Israel ever since.
The vast majority of the marchers last weekend were demonstrating their support for a cease fire. I’m sure there were some anti Israeli sentiments expressed too, which just serves to illustrate how complex the job of policing such events and appearing ‘even handed’ must be. A job only made even harder by the interference of Braverman.

Au contraire, at the worst of ‘Robinson’s mob’ were there for a punch up, at worst of the ‘opposition’ were calling for a holy war/expunging of a UN state/genocide. MA is right, if the police are even handed, time and the courts will actually tell

Let’s be right, Andy. There were HUNDREDS (possibly small thousands) of Robinson’s mob hell bent on causing violent disruption. There were HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS (possibly up to half a million) of Pro Palestinian/Anti War protestors. Can you imagine what would have happened if the latter group had behaved in the same way as the former?
I’ll agree with you that some - a minority - hold very questionable anti Semitic views but beyond that we may have to agree to differ.
