No surprise that some on here think the Jew was in the wrong.

Yes I do Col...but

I think ..in this circumstances ...he was being deliberately provocative ( and he was obviously Jewish, he was wearing a Yalmulka, a star of david and a badge ifthe " campaign against antisemitism".

But I also think the marches have also become deliberately provocative too.

I also think 2 wrongs do not make a right
 
Interested to find out which airline is taking the Rwanda migrants in apparently 10-12 weeks.

Unless Mrs Sunak has just launched a new airline. Rwandair.
 
Had a think
You are right Uber, but there are still two sceanarios here

...1. if the Rozzer stopped a young lady from walking into a gang of boozed up/ drugged up lads ...by saying "young lady ( see is obviously/ overtly a pretty young girl ) I wouldn't walk that way, because they are all stoned out of their minds and I don't trust them an inch...
GOOD

2. A rozzer saying " those girls deserved to be molested because they were provocative/ revealing clothes"
BAD..

It is the exact circumstances of the event ...not what was exactly said.


Thanks for that...cleared my thoughts a bit
I think in this case, the rozzer was right, to suggest the guy didn't cross the road into the march....hecwas acting without malace

Perhaps under your first scenario Plod should either escort the young lady safely past the naughty young tykes or make them clear off. I thought in this Brave New World you were supposed to wear what you like, where you like?
 
To be fair even I don’t think he was entirely in the right. He went there looking for something to happen. It wasn’t a random bloke out shopping.

But, the words of the copper were very stupid. It shows up the Met’s tactics for policing these things.

Yes, I agree that he was making a point.
But he was still threatened with arrest for wanting to cross the road. The copper completely ignored all the antisemitic chants.

The marchers were being provocative too Beth, but it's the Jew who gets warned by the police.
This is just another example of anti Jew feeling. He was wearing a badge against antisemitism yet you criticise him.

I don't particularly agree with this policy, mainly because I think it will make **** all difference and you're right in that no airline will take them.
The government will just charter a private plane.

Oh come on Col, " wearing a badge against antisemitism and I still criticise him"..


Wearing a badge does not stop you or I criticise anyone.


Barton wore our Badge...I slagged him off remorseless

In the last couple of hours you have been critical of Andersen.

I don't particularly agree with it either. It won't make any difference apart from tax payers money getting wasted yet again. The boats will continue. I'm no fan of Goldy's opinions but he does make a fair point as to all these asylum seekers seem to be young men. I guess that the countries they mainly originated from, women are second rate citizens.

Gillian Anderson???
 
Just read it is costing 2million per predicted deportee.

I have a great idea...
let's offer them a million each...to go back to their original country...

Think of the money we would save...I suspect every illegal immigrant earmarked for Rwanda would jump at the idea

We should welcome young male asylum seekers. They can fill the job vacancies and will make minimal use of the NHS.

Not because he's Jewish.

You've fallen into their trap, Beth. They're only illegal immigrants if their asylum claims are rejected.
 
They are saying...that these are the people they are deporting...the ones in which their claims are rejected.

Still... illegal immigrants, refugees, asulum seekers, even old people from rural Bucks who have family ties in South Wales...give them all a million and send them back.


Money saved...all happy
