Despite The Best Efforts of the Institutionally Racist Metropolitan Police the ‘I Oppose Genocide – I Support Palestine Action Demonstration Went Ahead’

 The same Police Force that Welcomed the Nazi Police to London in the 30s is now Defending the Genocidal Israeli State

London's Metropolitan Police do their best to prevent support for Palestine Action on Sept. 6th

Despite arresting the organisers of the demonstration today, including Tim Crosland, and charging them with being 'terrorists' i.e. organising against the Police State that London is fast becoming, the demonstration against the ban on Palestine Action went ahead as planned.

I got to the demonstration in Parliament Square just before 1.00 p.m. and stayed till about 3.00 p.m. I displayed a poster – Genocide in Palestine – Action Needed Now to see if the Met Police were going to arrest me, as they have done with others holding the same poster.  They didn’t but most of the arrests took place after I left.

Police can't explain why holding a placard is terrorism but dropping bombs on children isn't

congratulations @metpoliceuk on arresting so many opponents of genocide - be under no illusions what you are supporting - Israel's bombing of a school football match killing at least 30 children

There was though a real buzz and energy at the demonstration and it should be clear, even to the thick-headed racist who is the Commissioner of the Met, Sir Mark Rowley, that however many arrests his violent thugs make the demonstrations will continue.

People should not be taken in by the claim that all the Police are doing is enforcing the law. When it comes to rape the offence has virtually been decriminalised. Don’t take my word. Vera Baird, the Victim’s Commissioner wrote in her 2021/22 Annual Report:

In my first annual report in 2020, I made headlines by saying that we were witnessing the effective decriminalisation of rape. During my subsequent years in post as Victims’ Commissioner, little has swayed me from that perspective. Despite a long-delayed end-to-end rape review, various governmental action plans and plenty of tinkering round the edges, you can’t escape the numbers; they continue to speak for themselves.

For victims, reporting rape is effectively a lottery and the odds are rarely in your favour. In the year to December 2021, there were 67,125 rape offences recorded – an all-time high. Yet the number of completed rape prosecutions plummeted from 5,190 in 2016-17 to just 2,409 in 2020-21. The numbers of convictions almost halved (2,689 in 2016/17 compared to 1,409 in 2020/21). Only 5% of rapes that were given an outcome by the police in the year ending December 2021 resulted in a charge.

But we know why the Police deprioritise rape.  It is not seen by many Police as a crime. Not surprising given the number of rapists in their ranks and the way Wayne Couzens, the murderer of Sarah Everard was covered for by fellow officers who nicknamed him ‘the rapist’. The Met still has not explained why it didn’t act immediately when Couzens exposed himself in a drive in restaurant two days before.

Likewise the International Criminal Court Act 2001 which makes aiding a genocide a crime, has remained a dead letter as far as the Met is concerned. For the Met to go anywhere near an Act which makes aiding genocide a crime would be ‘political’.

It is far easier to crack down on opponents of genocide. We can rely on the British state – be they politicians, police or judges – to know that relations with United States takes priority over the death of thousands of people in Gaza.

Even The Times Came Out Against the Ban

I hope to attend the next demonstration and will do my best to be arrested next time! Have no doubt that we are winning.  Palestine Action was proscribed, not because it is a terrorist organisation but because it has been so effective in shutting down Elbit.

Did Yvette Cooper, Britain's new foreign secretary, mislead parliament and the public when rushing to ban Palestine Action?

It is also now very clear from the documents released as part of the attempt to judicially review the decision to proscribe Palestine Action that Yvette Cooper lied about the intelligence evidence proving that Palestine Action was a terrorist group.

We learnt today that a fourth Elbit factory has been forced to close in Bristol. This at the same time as that human skunk, Keir Starmer, ponders giving Elbit Systems, Israel’s main arms company, a £2 billion contract to train the British army. One would assume that the British army had no need of training from Israel in how to commit war crimes but possibly they need a refresher.

Below are some of the photos I and others took.
