Sums up the modern British establishment.
Pathetic wimps. Why the country is dying.
Hope more and more people are waking up to what these people are and who they actually represent.
That switch from a determined face to a mellowed out face once the topic switched to Israel lol. State of it. Man’s beliefs didn’t even last 30 seconds.
Palestine action only got banned because they were actually effective in hurting the British supply to the Israeli war machine.
History will view Kneecap and Bob Vylan as public figures who called-out a genocide. I’m looking forward to being on the right side of history by joining the thousands outside the court on 20 August for Mo Chara’s hearing.
I say this with great offense to the nationalist, EDL types out there—the U.K./Britain are America’s lap dog. You flip and do tricks for your master.
Your monarchs are a novelty from a forgotten time.
Woof woof
Down boy.
We absolutely are, but I think the country should realise we don’t have to be. We have something like the sixth biggest economy in the world. It’s well within our abilities to look after our own security, especially in partnership with Europe.
We put a lot of effort into force projection around the world to align with American interests. Aside from assisting Ukraine, more of that effort should go into defending ourselves and Europe.
As much as Britain has been America’s “lap dog” if we ever actually did do as Trump’s government suggested and took responsibility for our own defence and didn’t rely on the US, and thereby gained more autonomy from them they’d be absolutely furious.
Streisand effect in full swing.
Yep, as James O’Brien said last week “most of the country hadn’t heard of Bob Vylan until they were on the front covers of 5 national newspapers”.
I went on their merch site last night hoping to pick-up a t-shirt and…they’ve sold out.
Nah Fontaines have been on this one a long time already.
Couldn’t Palestine Action disband and reform as Action Palestine?
Almost certainly. Even better if they were to go for a name that could be used in conversation like “Action For Palestine” because demanding action for Palestine is a natural thing to say. A tosser he may be but Keir will also know that you can’t legislate against people using every day words.
I can see this running and running, with the protest groups being one step ahead at all times.
Chilling isn’t it?
Meanwhile Western Governments are shitting themselves that those of us who’ve been campaigning against the Israeli government/military for 20 years (in my case) were right.
What does this campaigning involve? Because it hasn’t been going on for just 20 years has it ,western civilisation and it’s government has been against Muslim society for ever and Israel being the only so called democracy in the area isn’t going to be bothered about the outside world and it’s inhabitants are right or wrong.
Israel’s actions have always been edging towards genocide for many many years and the world only knows about the lengths they are going to now because of there is so much freedom of information.
Campaigning from the safety of your own country what does that do or prove? Protesting outside the embassy in Trafalgar square didn’t bring about the end of apartheid in South Africa, it’s own population rose up against the government.
So the same has to apply to Israel and it’s population. There’s nothing worse than another country telling another country how it should be run no matter how bad or evil it is. Learning from previous autocratic leaderships it only leads to the population putting it’s defences up.
Israel has been getting away with it for years and it’s playing the victim only lends itself to the sympathy of western government.
Flag waving and marches isn’t going to solve anything, revolution needs to come from within Israel or western campaigners need to grab a bullet proof vest and join the true heroes in trying to help the helpless.
But you won’t though because you’re stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea because you will get shot from one side or the other.
