How can a March for Peace be Incompatible with a Memorial for those Killed in Wars.

Dont have to wait till monday for the headlines

Police investigate 'attack' on poppy seller at pro-Palestinian demo in Edinburgh https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-67344032
Please don't get all steamed up about a headline, and read the details:
an alleged attack on a 78-year-old poppy seller

Allegedly, the atrtack happened about 15.30, when he was escorted out of the station by two female staff, but a video by a local councillor, time stamped at 15.50 shows him happily still selling poppies.

Because people march in support of an independent Palestinian state doesn't necessarily make them Jihadists, old Spode.

It's organised by "Stop the War" coalition.

ABOUT STOP THE WAR​

Stop the War was founded in September 2001 in the weeks following 9/11, when George W. Bush announced the “war on terror”. Stop the War has since been dedicated to preventing and ending the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and elsewhere.

I am not getting steamed up about a headline.
If YOU read the article you will see that he said he had been kicked and punched.

That’s a fine way for peaceful anti war protesters to make their point.
I am done with you and your clap trap turn the other cheek.

Why would he lie to police?

You are taking a headline as gospel, when it declares the asault as a slam dunk proven occurrence, when it's quite obviously not.
A quick read of more than the headlines make that clear.
an alleged attack
And further enquires reveal that the assault apprently took place about 15.30, on his way out of the staion, when another video clearly shows the fellow happily selling poppies at 15.50
One needs to take care of accepting brief headlines as the true interpretation of the occurrence.


That’s a fine way for peaceful anti war protesters to make their point.
It's not a proven assault yet, nor by whom, if it did really occur, but you have already blamed it on the peaceful marchers.

That's fine by me, if you can't or are not prepared to discuss issues based on facts.

Why would anyone destroy public property?
Why would anyone tell lies about the RNLI ferrying asylum seekers?
Why would anyone tell lies about trans access to toilets?

Maybe he has an opinion on the march.
Maybe he was joslted whie being escorted from the station.
Maybe he disliked the noise.
Maybe he thinks he had more right to sell poppies than others to protest.
There's a myriad of reasons why people twist the truth or tell outright lies.
Bing old, being an ex-service man, selling poppies does not prevent anyone from telling lies, or exploiting a situation.

We need to wait for the outcome of any investigation before jumping to conclusions and making incorrect accusations.

i appreciate that isn't the done thing on this forum.
 
Dude rides a fireblade, he's hardy going to be delicate. You are the one making incorrect accusations without evidence as usual. As well as calling members here liars because they disagree with your misguided opinions, you are now happy to defame some poor chap innocently raising money for charity, with no evidence to back up your slur. Delightful.

he's made a complaint, it's being investigated. You have no evidence that he's made it up, so you just assume he's fibbing because of your prejudice. Is it because he's an old white man?

Happy to educate you again on trans rights, your illegal support for a proscribed terrorist organisation, your incitement of hatred towards jews or the role of the RNLI in ferrying asylum seekers.

But I suspect you wont listen as usual.

You're off on a rant, a thoughtless one at that.
You're certainlyl destroying your previous immitation of a calm. unbiased, expert on all things.
I'll deal with your points one by one:

Dude rides a fireblade, he's hardy going to be delicate.
Does that make him immune to telling lies? :rolleyes:

You are the one making incorrect accusations without evidence as usual.
Show me these accusations that I've made. :rolleyes:


As well as calling members here liars because they disagree with your misguided opinions,
I accuse someone of being a liar if they tell lies, like making baselss accusations.
Like accusing me of calling members on here liars for disagreeing with me.
Please find the evidence and present it that I have called anyone a liar for holding a difference of opinion.
The misguided bit is just your opinion.
Perhaps you could take up Johnny2007's case for him and find proof of my racism.
He can't. :rolleyes:

How have I defamed him?
Please present the actual evidence. not your opinion of what I've said.


he's made a complaint, it's being investigated. You have no evidence that he's made it up, so you just assume he's fibbing because of your prejudice. Is it because he's an old white man?
I agree, he's apprently made a complaint, which is being investigated, we hope.
I haven't assumed anything. I'm keeping an open mind, and you're obviously not.
It shouldn't be too difficult given the number of CCTV cameras normally on stations, including the multiplicity of people taking phone videos.
Please present the evidence to support your aaccusation.
His age and ethnicity, his riding a motorbike, his ex-service, etc has no bearing. :rolleyes:


Happy to educate you again on trans rights,
By making ignorant and incorrect references to legal judgements and Acts. :rolleyes:

Happy to educate you again on ..., your illegal support for a proscribed terrorist organisation, ...
Present the evidence to support your accusation.

Happy to educate you again on ..., ,,,, your incitement of hatred towards jews ...
Present the evidence to support your accusation.

Happy to educate you again on ..., ,,,, ... the role of the RNLI in ferrying asylum seekers.
Present the evidence to support your accusation.

But I suspect you wont listen as usual.
I'm waiting and listening for your presentation of the proof to support your accusations.

Edit. I'm not available for the rest of the day, but please be assured I'll consider your response in due course.

Is he Jewish?
 
A row has erupted over Home Secretary Suella Braverman's attack on the Metropolitan Police for its handling of pro-Palestinian protests.

Writing in The Times, Ms Braverman accused the force of applying a "double standard" to its policing of protests.

She claimed aggressive right-wing protesters were "rightly met with a stern response", while "pro-Palestinian mobs" were "largely ignored".

The Met says it has no grounds to ban a pro-Palestinian march on Armistice Day.

(because the march doesn't coincide with Armistice commemoration.)

Some folk in the Tory Party think she's trying to get herself sacked and stay out of the forthcoming clusterf-k at the next GE.
