As I said . A perfect circle jerk between friends and a nice walk . Nothing more . You can say what you like, it was a great success. I agree , it was a nice walk for them . Pointless but nice .

I posted the exact same twit last night and had no doubts that it was absolute Jew Hatred. Hamas has really brought out some of the worst in the Left.

They have a right to protest.
I certainly disagree with some of their talking points, but will defend anyones right to protest peacefully.
Hopefully I’m not speaking too soon but given the size of the protest and raw emotions people have, i’m surprised that no-one was killed.

From people who just want the fighting to stop, to the more extreme views about wiping out the state of Israel entirely. It’s hard to tell what ratio these groups are represented, and I certainly think the latter should be kept in check but I expect like all views, the more extreme opinions are represented by a minority of those protesting.

Hamas intentionally declared war and is rewarded with anti-Israel marches in the UK, as well as dead bodies, which they want. The marches are totally partisan and I can't see how any of it will make a dent in diffusing the situation out there.

Well now you know the British people have no intention of letting the Likud party and its followers in Parliament or anywhere else run the place like they do Israel. So keep crying it won't make a bit of difference we made our minds up weeks ago.

What far-right is this? A small handful of drunks who are about as dangerous to the country as a pub brawl?
The real danger are the Hamas supporters, like the one who influences the young and recently led the Labour party during the last election.
The far right within the party. Labour got rid of their far left and are heading for a landslide. The Tories re-label their extremists as ''populists'' and fight amongst themselves. As a result voters have lost confidence in their ability to govern. The imaginary conservative far right? The current conservative government is positively centre left

who is the far right in your view? Braverman, Rees-Mogg and Dorries for a start. They aren't far right by any normal definition Lefties ridiculously seem to believe that anyone who disagrees with them us ''far right''

The only people trying to disrupt the Cenotaph service were Cruella's rent a mob. She's toast. As far as i'm aware, nobody tried to disrupt the cenotaph ritual.

Alison Pearson wrote this article today, I think that it sums up our challenges quite succinctly,
I was standing with the British Friends of Israel at the foot of the statue of Winston Churchill (If only the great man were here in the flesh and not cast in bronze to show the present Government what leadership looks like!). Lots of Telegraph readers had travelled from far and wide to join us. “It takes a lot to get Brits out of their armchairs,” said James, a gentle giant from Thaxted in Essex, “We are a nation of armchair critics, aren’t we? But if this doesn’t get you to stand up for your country then nothing will. Enough is enough.”
I lost count of how many times I heard that phrase. Events at the Cenotaph were blighted by football hooligans and “far-Right yobs”. There was disorder, and some men who looked as if they weren’t entirely there to hum along to Edward Elgar. But that was hardly the whole story.
Things were worse down at Embankment where Tommy Robinson, leader of the English Defence League, had summoned his followers to “protect” the war memorial and “honour” the fallen.
But where we were in Parliament Square, and till well past noon, it was respectful, peaceful and good-humoured, with no pro-Palestinian protesters to spoil the two minutes’ silence as we had feared.
“Do you think you’re far-Right yobs?” I asked a group of elegant and venerable ladies.
“Oh, no, we’re from Kensington mainly,” came the startled reply.
From Kensington, from Yorkshire, from Dorset, from Kent, from Stratford, from Hertfordshire, from Reading, from Belfast, from Swansea; the silent majority of decent people, who agree with Suella Braverman, showed up, perhaps because they intuited that a mob who were chanting genocidal slogans, driving away poppy sellers from their annual perches, posed an existential threat to their country.
How shameful it was, too, that so many British Jews were too intimidated to venture into the heart of their own capital city. Gary Mond, chairman of the National Jewish Assembly, did come along and movingly, and quite instinctively, the rest of us closed ranks as if to protect him.
As we stood there, people expressed dismay that Sir Mark Rowley, Metropolitan Police Commissioner, had failed to ban the fifth pro-Palestine march through London since the heinous Hamas massacre of Israelis on October 7. And this latest one on a most solemn, sacred day in the national calendar; almost calculated to give offence.
“It’s incredibly disrespectful to Britain,” said a veteran of Asian background who had been coming to the Cenotaph on this same date for 25 years. “This is a Christian country. When my grandfather came to the UK, he fitted in, he didn’t start laying down the law about what he wanted. This is a good country, show some gratitude”.
