- Scotland Yard are allowing no-go zones for Jews in London, a man has claimed, after officers threatened to arrest him for “antagonising” pro-Palestinian marchers.
Gideon Falter, head of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, was wearing a kippah skull cap when he was stopped by officers last Saturday in the Aldwych area while on a walk with friends after attending synagogue.
Mr Falter was walking along carrying a bag containing his prayer shawl when he came across a pro-Palestinian march.
In an exchange that was filmed and uploaded to social media, Mr Falter was told he would not be allowed to cross the road while the march was taking place because as a Jew his presence could create tensions among the marchers.

“Openly Jewish”. What a tragic state this country is in?
tragic world thanks to the 1 percent
This man has also the choice to remove his kippah (or not) and join the crowd who support the right to live for Palestinian, instead of that he just want to go through as if nothing happened.
@@boblabuche622 Why should he do that? He is entitled to walk the streets of London and not be intimidated by a crowd of anti semitic thugs
@boblabuche622 yeah so?
So Muslims can't be in a area that pro Israel people are In ?
Employee tells the boss no*
If the man is not free to walk in his own city, he's a prisoner. He is a second-class citizen. Which is what islam is aiming for.

Disgusting attitude
IMAGINE IF POLICE DID THIS TO A MUSLIM .....BE ALL OVER THE NEWS
He is an agitator , he was trying to provoke unrest. He was disturbing a Protest
@@paxundpeace9970 What, by simply being Jewish? " Provoking unrest'' I though Islam was a religion of peace!
Lol! they do that to muslims all the time! What world are u living in?
@@richb3802 Nope its not its the farthest thing from peace
@@paxundpeace9970 Your religion is provoking me
The advice to stay put was obviously meant well, the arrest threat was overkill. But if the Jewish man had got hurt, would he have complained then?
Of course he would.
& why would he get hurt ????
If he got hurt then the Police should get their koshes out and start arresting the people that harmed him.
Why should he be made to stay put? If he’s walking around minding his own business he’s committing no offence. If he were to be attacked then the blame lies with those that attack him & the Police for not enforcing the rule of Law. Being told his presence is unwanted just because of his religion is despicable!
If he had gotten hurt, it would be the fault of a violent crowd that is falsely portrayed as being peaceful by the media.
The Policeman doing his job properly for the safety of both sides its a moving march not that difficult to use common sense.
I agree, the officer did what he had to but it's still appalling that this happened at all. I'm sick of people thinking that their "protest" is more important than other people's freedom or safety.
@@FeathersMcGraw_ This man is the chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism. It's simply not credible that he was there by accident. He was trying to provoke, and he got the reaction he was looking for. It's a PR stunt.
No, the job of the Police is to uphold the law and protect people. This is an example of two tier policing and flagrant antisemitism.
@@FeathersMcGraw_ He is creating his own protest ... He expects to get priority treatment over the other protest ... He is creating the potential safety situation ... He is not acting for the good of society ... He should be ignored ... Please remember the reasons for these protest marches ... People are genuinely suffering due to inhuman actions of their "neighbours"
If it's a peaceful protest as they claim, why is he so afraid of what the crowd would do to a Jewish man?
Take away the labels. There were 2 opposing sides to this protest. We are allowed to protest peacefully in this country. The police officer was there to make sure the protest was allowed to pass peacefully. He was doing his job and was trying, very politely, to prevent a breach of the peace. His choice of words are what seems to be what some people latched onto. What other words could he of said to put across the issue at hand.
@@Aelwyd10That man is the chief executive of Campaign Against Antisemitism. He stepped in the road, walking against the march. He was there to antagonise. The vast majority of people protesting are good, peace loving people, not anti Jew but anti genocide/war crimes against over 30,000+ innocent civilians. He probably would have been grand but the police had no choice but to stop him from antagonising. If (God forbid) his actions had caused just one person to react, the police could have had more than that one idiot to control! Smh 🙄
Even if we remove the labels and put the labels of something neutral like foot ball team ,,, he was clearly antagonizing and looking for problem ,, although he could pass the streat without a problem violence was not for granted ,,,
Whether Catholic, Jewish or whatever use your common sense to keep yourself safe during a protest so the officer was doing his job. End of. In Ireland I hide my crucifix in protestant areas.
He's doing it on purpose. This isn't the first time he's tried to pick flights with protesters. They've got him on camera more than once.
This is almost as bad as when Tommy Robinson got arrested for being openly Tommy Robinson.
If he let him cross the street and he got attacked everyone would be blaming the police 🤷♂️
That is because they need to arrest the violent people and not the victim, reading the comments here, I think everyone in London should lay off the beer for a while.
@@user-kc6op9nj2y He is not a victim ... He is an agitator ...
They would call it another Holocaust
No, we would be blaming the officials for allowing another protest attended by people who turn violent at mere sight of somebody who has a different opinion.
@@murphykie4552 If simply existing or voicing opinion is enough to agitate somebody into breaking a law then perhaps that somebody is to blame, not the potential agitator.
I fail to see the problem with this officer’s concern for the safety of this ‘openly provocative’ individual. Peaceful march, or not, the officer clearly saw the potential for a breach of the peace and in my opinion acted correctly.

NEVER EVER have I NOT been ashamed of the authorities, ever since I was born and I am now 42 years old.
For what ? Calling a Jew a Jew ?
Absolutely disgraceful. That police sergeant should be dismissed. Supporters of the terror group Hamas are protected by police, while the law abiding Jewish citizen of Great Britain is threatened with arrest for being openly Jewish. Disgraceful.
Someone briefed him that that was what he should do. Arrest people in order to appease violent mobs.
Dismissed for what? He’s stuck between two opposing sides and he’s trying to do his job in making sure no one gets physically hurt.
His language although clumsy is clearly meant with the best of intentions, primarily to maintain the “Kings Peace” and to “Prevent and detect crime” which is exactly what he’s done.
Absolute non news story whipped up by right wing media and the losers with half a brain cell on YT.
Bad Hasbara troll 🧌 👎
😂stop the propaganda no one arrests anyone for being openly Jewish. He doesn't listen to police and still tries to pass.
Islamophobia 🤨
The Police was right and could detained the man for his own safety. It is very clear that he was there to cause a reaction from the protesters. The Commissioner have nothing to apologise for and should have never done so. The Police have the powers to disperse anyone from a area were there safety is at risk.
How? He was walking from the synagogue he attended with some friends on the Sabbath!
Do some research on Gideon Falter. He should have been arrested for disorderly conduct.
The guys name is Gideon Falter, and he is the chief executive of the campaign against anti-Semitism. He is a counter-protesters and attends every protest.
Only a crook would say that. And only a crooked copper would threaten to arrest him.
Would the Police arrest a black man or POC near a KKK demonstration? Disgusting conduct by the weak Police.

To protect the identity of the British SS member.
By British law, no member of the public is allowed to film any police officer.
This is because of other undercover operations that the officers might be carrying out.
*The fact they might attack him says more about them.*
Yeah it says their angry and for good reason.
@captainbuggernut9565 why Muslims live with ANYONE else peacefully? Jews , Christians, Hindu, Sikh Buddest.....is it ALL the others or the common demonstration.

Stop crying.
"peaceful marching"
@@captainbuggernut9565 It says that for all the reassuring cliches these sadly ignorant terrorist-glorifyers give about they're anti-Zionist and anti-Israel, they are in fact overwhelmingly anti-semitic.
What law has he broken? None.
hes drawn a very neat circle around the problem, if this protest is so close to violence that his mere presence will provoke it, then it should never have been allowed to happen in the first place
@@jeffcapes totally agree.
Yes I'm sure he was very careful not to break any laws and just happened by mere coincidence end up in the middle of a pro-palestinian march that I'm sure he knew nothing about.
It's about deescalation and his own safety.
It's the coward's way out, ofc, and they should instead be dealing with the people who would attack him for being Jewish, but this is easier to do.
@@jeffcapes And his next step is to take this to the Magistrates asking that the marches be banned.
So he's not there to stop the starvation of 2,000,000 innocent people?
Is he concerned about the massive destruction of so many lives?
Is he calling for equal rights and the end of the apartheid in Israel?
Does he support equal rights?
Is he looking to make things better or worse?
British people dont give a s**t about Gaza mate.
Shut up
For a British police officer to advise that a British Jewish citizen can stir up trouble just be being present on a British street shows clearly just how far we have allowed Islam to dominate. Shameful.

“Without fear or favour” yet they arrest the victim because it’s easier, typical cowardly met
Why is anyone apologising for this? .... Coppper was just trying to keep the peace ... If the dude doesn't like it, go to Israel.
So on the one hand people are criticizing Israel's right to exist, on the other people are ok with Jews not being safe and with pure antisemitism and tell them to go to Israel. Nice.
Threatening to arrest a man because others don't like him isn't keeping the peace. It's incentivising thuggery.
@@Boudicca-the-musical weak Hasbara
@@-xirx- Hamas are terrorists. Long live western democracy.
@-xirx- the video speaks for itself
Saying he was "openly Jewish” is surely just a statement of fact - not in any way offensive.
In fact the man should be quite pleased!
I have seen a Jew with an Kippa literally dragged out by the police in GERMANY because he was protesting against Israel's aggression. Why don't the News report about that??
Thank God he didn't have a union jack he would have been definitely nicked
Yup. God forbid its a St Georges flag
My thoughts too, remembering the men police wanted to arrest for waving their own flag.
I think the police was concerned for his safety tbh
What an absolute disgrace. The police then wonder why they are losing support from the general public.
The police is anti-semitic
.....lost.
no there not
So a person is putting themselves at risk and police intervene. What's the problem?
The elephant in the room is, Gideon knew what he was doing. He wanted to get up close and personal with the marchers. He then hoped they'd identify him as Jewish and attempt to attack him, physically and/or verbally. He wanted a disorder. He would then no doubt have renewed his call for the matches to be banned.
This sort of behaviour at marches is incredibly frustrating for the police. And it's precisely the reason so many officers are required, i.e., to keep rival factions apart. The police are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.
the jewish man has the right to go where he wants, its a free country
He wanted to walk right into that protest to create a scene, so he could say how victimised and assaulted Jews are. He wanted to be punched and called slurs, so he could help set the narrative that all these marches should be banned.
He was a weasel subversive, paid for by a Zionist group.
Agreed: police should have left him alone with the Pro palestinians!
Thing is I'm from UK born and bred it's not free country don't feel like home don't like or love where I come from now south east London
But if he had got battered, which he may well of done he would have blamed the police for not protecting him.
Would he walk into a mosque with that head wear on???
Ask youself why not!
I think the officer was slightly concerned what might happen if the man walked by the protest but he handled it absolutely in the wrong way
If the copper was that concerned, he could’ve offered a police escort but instead had his mate threaten to arrest him “because your presence here could be antagonising”! What?! And the large baying mob, hiding their terrorist sympathies behind the thin vale of ‘freedom to protest’, isn’t? 🤦♂️
Then whys he not offering protection instead they tell him he could be arrested since he might be threatened

There is a lot expected of the police in situations like this.

I don't see anything wrong with the officer's response........
פלסטינית מחורבנת
What's wrong with what police man said? He just didn't want things to get heated or escalate
I think the issue is the principle that he's trying to cross the march, but is clearly Jewish from the cap (don't know what it's called) and is being told he can't. The assumption being that anyone else not easily identifiable as Jewish may have been allowed through normally. If he rocked up with an IDF flag draped over him fair enough, but he wasn't...
Though I don't know what happened before. In another video of the same incident the officer said he was previously "standing in the middle" or something like that - so not sure if he was actually trying to cross the road or not, or if his "standing in the middle" was recorded or not.
The police are going to arrest him because he might get attacked for being openly Jewish?

Good morning
He was asked to remain where he was as they didn't want him to get hurt or cause an unnecessary reaction from the march? Isn't that what the video showed? Or did i miss something.
I think the police were well intentioned but poorly articulated their concerns. I'm not sure how they could better articulate their concerns though. They said they weren't accusing him or anything. They said they didn't want provocation from either side. They said they were worried about his safety. In a protest march keeping the peace and using common sense seems maybe reasonable. The police don't know the intentions of the nice Jewish chap or the random protesters. They just want to keep the peace and minimise the chances of harm or disruption to the peaceful nature of the protest.
If the guy happened to get into an argument with the protesters and it escalated either deliberately or accidentally from him or the protesters....there'd be a different outrage.
The story is political more than genuine I think.
There's a simple way to settle this. DON'T ALLOW ISLAM IN WESTERN NATIONS, ALL OF WHICH THEY ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH.
Well intentioned??? They threatened to arrest him
@@martinlevy7470because he doesn't listen
They did know his intentions. He was there to counter protest. The police response was correct.
In London On November 11 I was arrested for breach of the peace. It was for "antagonising" a masked gang by recording them at the Winston Churchill statue. I only recorded them briefly before they told me to stop and threatened me when I didn't. I verbally retaliated and was told by the police I was antagonising this group, besides the arguing, because I filming them on an historic protest day they chose to be involved in without their permission.
And looking at this, this is apparently the threshold for antagonising. How about use some resources to protect these people's basic freedom of expression. Police will often construe this as baby sitting, as if wanting to not capitulate to a mob on grounds of basic freedom of expression is being a trouble making baby. The mobs are taking advantage of the police's robotic thinking when it comes to individuals and it's fear of restricting group protest.
Show these mobs the police will not tolerate intolerance as blatant as this.
Ahh churchill the greatest ever Englishman, with tommeh Robinson as a close second.
@@GujratiahHe had the right take on muslims
I bet they didn’t press charges because then a Judge would have to rule on it and then haven’t got the bollocks.

We have been silenced.
One word and then a visit from Plod!!

That's right, Britain should serve all of ITS people. NOT foreign Islamists!
Getting in trouble for saying he’s obviously Jewish of course he is anyone can see that, if I pranced about London in a tartan Tammy and scarf I think I’d obviously be seen as Scottish 🤔
Absolutely CRAZY that everyone immediately got angered with the officer. At the end of the day he is doing his job and that Jewish guy shouldn't be going near a Pro-Palestinian Protest. I'm Irish and i am shocked that this is where Britain has gone for people to not even give basic respect to the authorities. The protests are peaceful but not really anyone who is not involved should be allowed near them
Why not arrest the people that might harm him?
So arrest people because they MIGHT commit a crime? Ok, Adolf.
what a totally STUPID thing to comment
Londonistan has fallen. Taliban has taken over
That's a dangerous precedent. Arresting people for what they might do? Very north Korean. At the end of the day this police officer was just trying to stop him getting assaulted, sometimes people have to be saved from themselves.
@@Angel-od1btthey support a terrorist organisation so in principle yes. And send them to Rwanda
Shame on the Police. Absolute cowards.
It is Jews who are hiding behind people
Not new, half a century of brute behaviour so a citizen stays as far from these politicised thugs as is possible. Look at what they have done to people!!!!
So they are trying to stop a person from endangering themselves. The police could not guarantee that he wouldn't be attacked by some protesters and that his safety was in question. If an "arrest" would have prevented this, with a "fools pardon" a couple of hours later, so be it.
What about the cowards allowing the cops to become petty tyrants, doing nothing to stem or stop the insanity???
Outrageous conduct from Khan’s Met Police 🤬
SCARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
@trixiek942 He wouldn't, they don't pay out anything when they are wrong. It's all internal investigation and the police are let off ''with more diverse training'' whatever the heck that means.
It's a lie to say in the headline "Arrested" he would have been detained until the danger passed.
If the situation was versa versa ,police would have advised the same thing .
I think the police officer is just trying to use common sense, and speaks very politely to an individual who wants to confront a peaceful protest. I have no beef with Jews or Muslims, but I do feel sorry for a police officer just trying to do his job.
Funny its the guy that did the same to Tommy Robinson
I pray that the officer keeps his job. We are all humans, trying to make a living and support our families.
Yet sh* like this can just openly take away your job.
The only thing the officer did wrong, was to assume the man was Jewish, because of the cap.
This polite attitude might turn out to be very wrong for your country someday.
Their government actions made the world hate them. They will never live in peace. What a miserable existence
Islamic antisemitism has NOTHING to do with any government. Jews have been persecuted in Muslim countries before Israel ever existed. Besides, Hamas is against the very existence of Jews, not merely against the existence of Israel.
Am. Surprised the police didn't call the Jewish man far. Right.....
What's funny about all that is that Islamists are THE MOST far right of anyone on the planet.
What the hell is going on in the UK....?
ALL WESTERN (WHITE) NATIONS HAVE BEEN SOLD TO ISLAM .
Nothing good at the moment.
Not this?
I don't know but I hope it is not contagious.
Islamisation.
Strange how he happens to be in the area during a huge pro Palestinian protest? Most people not taking part in such protests/marches would generally speaking try to avoid the area. He deliberately put himself in harms way, and the police did their best to try and reason with him. There is such a thing as intentional provocation that the police recognised but which politicians seem to be oblivious to. He played his cards in front of the media with footage, which is so conveniently available.
Absolutely shameful abuse of a police officer by this individual who should be embarrassed by their behaviour. Safety first including this gentleman, well done to our police force for keeping us safe.
So we’re not allowed to walk around London now, is that it? Sorry, but F that. I’ll stroll where I bloody well want to.
How very brave.
Now why could that nice policeman possibly suspect those peaceful protesters would attack that man?
The police potentially saved his life what's the big fuss here I don't understand
The police man done very well as it might provoke conflict and more problem if he goes near protester. What was his intention? His intention was to create problem. And the police officer recognised it.
Fair enough from the policeman, just trying to avoid confrontation.
Or how about the marchers be peaceful and let him walk through without attacking him?
@@RollinRocker The marchers were peaceful and plenty of Jewish people were marching in support. This man’s intention was to provoke an incident, and thankfully the police recognized that and sent him packing.
Calling for resignations because of this seems a bit extreme. The police were just trying to make sure no one was hurt and to keep the place calm.
Not the officer. But his superiors, yes.
@@SirTDSI can't see how his superiors are at all culpable for what happened and nothing really happened. It would've been a lot worse if he was allowed to walk through the protesters, he could have got hurt.
@@SirTDS Why they already knew exactly what he was doing probably 2-3 hours in advance cctv and the helicopter in the sky
Imagine the inverse happening, a man who is “obviously Muslim” being threatened with arrest near a Muslim event.
The officer in question would already be terminated from his job.
This man was being openly provocative to create trouble. The policeman was attempting to keep him safe. Gideon Falter (the CEO of Campaign against Antisemitism in London) is the man who accused the Met Police of antisemitism. The fact that his 'pals' were filming prove the purpose of this video. He was doing his very best to get arrested, so he can claim 'I was arrested for being Jewish' is very telling, & they want someone to lose their job over this?
The only thing they proved is that Pro-Palestinian rallies are a physical danger to Jewish people, And the lack of action from European governments regarding said marches is a show that Europeans have truly forgotten their History
He obviously is a British citizen and even if he wasn't but is living in the UK then he should have every right to have the freedom to go wherever he wants. What is going on in this bloody country!
He seems that he can't cross the street.
Your absolutely right.
BS 🤡
The guys name is Gideon Falter, and he is the chief executive of the campaign against anti-Semitism. He is a counter-protesters and attends every protest.

He wanted to continue on his way, not just stand there, but was not allowed to walk freely in a supposedly free country. Why did the Brits fight the tyrants in the 1940s only to end up with homegrown tyrants in the end???
He is antagonising the protesters!
@@whiterabbit1632 So what? The protesters doing plenty of antagonizing themselves.

And people on here swear blind he was just a man trying to cross the road. Some people really need to wake up.
Shameful.
Well the police are saying said that the marchers are violent. The police think that ifthey apologise it makes it alright. Just thinking is what was said hate speech?
I don’t see why anyone would think that this man would be attacked when peaceful protests by extremely large groups (including many members of the jewish community) have been happening week after week after week for months without anyone being attacked
I also do not understand why his openly Jewishness would be an issue when the protest is against Zionism- a political ideology that enforces apartheid and is killing innocents. Openly jewish people are in the frontlines of these protests.
The short answer is because he is Gideon Falter a Pro Israeli activist who is trying to create an event that he can use to attack the current police chief and have him replaced with someone more supportive of Israel. He should have been detained for disorderly behaviour.
I was actually there on the march. It was very peaceful, unlike the propaganda press reporting, and was calling for a ceasefire to the war in Gaza! There were several jewish men with skull caps that freely walked past the marches, with no problem. When we got to Aldwych however, there was a counter protest, which resulted in the chanting getting louder and becoming more raucous (not violent!). It was at this point that this man wanted to cross the road!! That is, walk through a whole crowd of demonstrators! Why I wonder? This protest march got absolutely NO coverage by the main stream media despite it being peaceful, until this incident that somehow has grabbed the headlines!!
If it's so peaceful, why are the police so afraid of what the crowd would do to an openly Jewish man?
Why was the jewish man in the area, when He knew that He was being provocative? Chosen perhaps.@@SirTDS

He was very lucky to have it filmed and recorded so expertly...no question of provocation and a set-up.
Lets be honest, Gideon Falter went there on purpose. He went there for this.
Okay, let's be honest then. How did he know the simple act of crossing the street looking "openly Jewish" would bring trouble? I'll answer my own question. The same way a black man knows what would happen if he crossed the street in front of a KKK rally. Yes I'm sure he went there with a purpose, a way of saying "see as a Jew I can't even walk across the street." Many would rather get mad at the messenger I guess.
your saying he went there to be arrested for the crime of being Jewish?
@@cmdrvarna no he'd gone there to get a rise out of people. He knew exactly what he was doing
@@cmdrvarnahe went there, in "full costume", knowing full well the police would act or he'd get mobbed. Both outcomes yield the same result.
I had no idea who this guy was until today. Looked him up. Recently he has been complaining about London not being safe for Jews on the weekend, he has complained about a lack of police response to what he claims are hate marches. This was all staged by him, total stich up.
@@cmdrvarnaThat man is the chief executive of Campaign Against Antisemitism. He stepped in the road, walking against the march. He was there to antagonise. The vast majority of people protesting are good, peace loving people, not anti Jew but anti genocide/war crimes against over 30,000+ innocent civilians. He probably would have been grand but the police had no choice but to stop him from antagonising. If (God forbid) his actions had caused just one person to react, the police could have had more than that one idiot to control! Smh 🙄
If he is walking around with a Kippah on his head then he is looking openly jewish. He should be grateful for advice regarding his security
Really so what if the boot was on the other foot & he or she was wearing a kafih
This is the uk NOT GAZA
Absolutely shocking! Talk about two tier policing. Shameful policing.
Why? The guy can't pass but still tries to
So it is good policing to let the march potentially turn violent?
This is exactly like if he had tried to walk into the London marathon because because "he just wanted to go home". No one is saying the runners would attack him, however his safety would be at risk by him trying to walk against a crowd, that's why it was a section 24, not arrest.

In the meantime time, 4,722 black, brown, Muslim, Christian and homeless people were arrested wrongly
What about the slightly larger “antagonism” of the demonstration???
Two-tier policing at its worst!!😱
The Police took the right action here. Why would an person dressed as he was walk in to this protest march unless trying to provoke a reaction from the crowd. The police were right to prevent this happening. If they had not and let him walk in to it and there was an incident they would have used this to try and ban these people from protesting which they have the rights to do.
*But I thought they were ‘peaceful’.* 🤔
The Jews aren’t. He may spread skunk. Look that up.
Watch the video. They are peaceful. Everyone was ignoring him.
@@-xirx-so why was the officer threatening to arrest him?
They are peaceful...name a single Jew who has been attacked at a march for peace in Palestine.
This is true for each protest stop writing non sense
England is a country that is the closest to the word democracy that i know
What a joke
Used to be there's been a Coup .
Everything has become so disjointed and adversarial, treating Police as the villains is akin to slapping the wind.
It's truly horrible to see this playing out in 2024
That's what they do they will provoke till they become the victims
where has that before. let me think lol
Well, the safe thing to do then would be, as a general principle, to not attack people. That would teach those sneaky Jews a lesson, eh?
They who?
This is not Germany where Jews were rounded up & gassed this is on the streets of the uk
He got *Jew-ed*
I can hardly believe how far we've fallen in this country. This is utterly despicable. Immediate sacking of that officer now. Root and branch investigation of the Met now.
So some people are allowed to do whatever they like on our streets but others cannot go about their ordinary business. Could they not just escort him across and let him go on his way. The fact that our police are now allowing such things to happen is shocking. I have lived in this country for all my 70 years and I am ashamed.
Whats the problem, nothing hateful was said?!
Besides the coppa saying the Jew is antagonizing rioters for being openly Jewish and that the Jew needed to back off, nothing hateful was said...
@@tomatomi8041 I'm sure he knew it was antagonizing, but he should be allowed to make that statement even if they hate it.
This story is much ado about nothing. The cop was just trying to keep the peace whereas it's now about the Z's crying wolf... only they've cried wolf too many times and now not many are listening to the Z's.
Threatening arrest for being *checks notes* 'openly Jewish'
Enough of these (un)peaceful protests! Free-London
From the Thames to the sea
Most Brits support the end of genocide, so stfu
Provocative headline
They fear Islam and like most cowards they will aiways pick on easy targets
And the regular people that are standing by doing nothing about the corruption, crime and tyranny being brought about??? Are those good bystanders completely blameless in all of this? When good people do nothing to stop evil, evil will prevail. Everytime.
I think the guy was wrong to think he could walk through a march: it would be like driving through oncoming traffic. On the other hand, why didn't the police stick to that line - instead of mentioning the guy's religion?
So - in my view - both were foolish, but the police were also shameful.
The NHS is on its knees but Sunak has promised Zelensky 500m for Ukraine 🤣🤣🤣
Seems to me that cop needs to go and read the definition of breach of the peace
