The point is that he, or anyone else of whatever religion or group they belong to, are not constrained from going anywhere they please. Just so long as they, and me and you, do so legally. He hasn’t been constrained by his Jewishness but by his actions.

It’s completely irrelevant what the other party were protesting about. So long as they do it legally and peacefully then they are exercising their democratic right to express an opinion. If the police decide that someone is trying to disrupt them from exercising that right in a manner by which a breach of the peace might occur then they have no choice other than to act.

If a peaceful right wing march took place, with legal banners, no promotion of hate speech or encouragement of violence, then anyone trying to disrupt it would deserve and get the same response from the police. The problem being, of course, that many right wing marches are neither peaceful nor legal.

Every group will contain a mix of people. Some better at self restraint than others. It’s unreasonable to describe the marchers as a whole as a mob. The police have a duty to intervene whenever they believe a breach of the police is threatened and if someone is deliberately taking actions designed to provoke hot heads they will.

Those seeking to divert attention away from the provocation by constant references to a group protesting about a humanitarian crisis and expressing concerns for innocent people caught up in a terrible situation aren’t thinking straight. Whilst anyone expressing any kind of support for a terrorist group like Hamas deserve condemnation those whose concern is entirely for the innocent do not. Those who attempt to provoke trouble are not helping anyone, or their cause.

The national flag has unfortunately been appropriated by some and is being hidden behind to justify xenophobia. So it depends on the circumstances whether it is indicative of a genuine sense of pride in our country or of a problematic attitude.

The police will judge solely on behaviour and the law. If any protest/march is peaceful and doesn’t break the law then it will be accommodated. If others try to disrupt it they wil be challenged. Terrorists would be arrested. Antifa, or a legal right wing group, could march so long as they stay onside of the legal lines.

Having a fear of foreigners isn’t actually illegal. Preferring to be around your own isn’t racist. When the pro Hamas protesters block roads and spray buildings with paint. That is illegal. When was the last time the right did that?

Whatever it is it's been going on for longer than a year.

Leftist anti semites aka Jew haters were those who supported Corbyn.

Starmer at least had the cajones to take on board the damning report and weed out some of the worst.There are still plenty in the SCG like led by Burgon.

There are some on here who would still reject the revised definition of anti semitism adopted by Labour after the report.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
