Director of group behind ceasefire marches says he believes police are under ‘immense pressure’ after remarks by politicians

Wasn’t planning on going, but am now seriously considering it. Why is Cruella getting involved.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have sympathy for the Israelis that were impacted by the Hamas attack, but 10k Palestinians killed in 30 days is more than all the civilian casualties in the Ukraine war todate.

Wanting an end to Palestinian deaths is not the same as supporting Hamas.

    Irrespective of one’s political views, this is a travesty and part of a long term campaign by the the tories (probably can add Labour to this too) to silence free speech.

    I have a friend who is very into the environment. She told me recently that she stopped getting involved because she feared arrest.

    Peaceful protest is being criminalized in this country. It’s so sad especially since protest doesn’t affect the governments ability to enact their policies (brexit, Iraq war etc)
