The police are cracking down on “far-right” protesters they have arrested people opposing the Pro-Palestinian march.

Exactly. They are demonized for wanting to defend their own nation. God save England! (Oops! Just heard some of my Irish ancestors rolling in their graves.)

Britain is lost. They’ve allowed their culture to become so contaminated by failed cultures (uncontrolled immigration & multiculturalism) there is little left to rally around. They have been betrayed by their own government, as have so many in the west. Not many options left for them now.

Another complicit media entity who refers to Hamas as a “militant group”.

Protests there were in 2010. The
Guardian:
>>The son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour apologised yesterday for swinging from a union flag on the Cenotaph during the student protests on Thursday. Charlie Gilmour, 21, said he was “mortified” by his “moment of idiocy”, after he climbed on to the memorial to Britain’s war dead in Whitehall.

Gilmour, a history student at Cambridge University, said he was deeply ashamed. “I would like to express my deepest apologies for the terrible insult to the thousands of people who died bravely for our country that my actions represented,” he said in a statement. “I feel nothing but shame. My intention was not to attack or defile the Cenotaph. Running along with a crowd of people who had just been violently repelled by the police, I got caught up in the spirit of the moment

It’s their equivalent to the Tomb of the Unknowns or the Arc de Triumph.

How would people here react to a protest in Arlington?

“Are the Nazis holding rallies in London as well? I never seen so many Nazis so offended before because Jews are defending themselves. I don’t even think these kind of protests went on against the Jewish resistance during WW2, I guess Nazis are more acceptable today by the left.”
——————-
I know that your post was very much tongue-in-cheek. However, I would like to point out that the Nazis and the Left are really just different variations on the same theme. We have been brainwashed since early in our lives that the big political dichotomy is between the Right (Nazis, Fascists and conservatives) and the Left (Communists, Socialists and liberals). That is simply false, it is a distraction from the real truth that is meant to distract the great mass of people. That real truth is that all of the “isms” are collectivist in nature. Yes, the Nazis and the Communists hate each other, but that’s not because their ideology is really opposed to the other, but because the other side represents a strong rival to their goal of becoming the rulers of the world. Collectivist ideologies, no matter what flag they fly, no matter what uniform they wear, no matter what idiosyncratic words and phrases that they use, share one thing in common: they have other contempt for the rights and dignity of the individual. The individual not only CAN be sacrificed to the goals of the collective, they SHOULD be sacrificed. Opposing Collectivism, in all of its variety, is the ideology of individualism, upon which this country was founded. The goal of our government, if you read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, is to safeguard the rights of the individual while still establishing a government that will avoid the perils of anarchy. This has always been the fight, and until the United States was created in 1776, the norm was almost 100% Collectivism. Back then, it was kings and aristocrats and dictators, without the more formal ideology of the supposed Right or Left, but it was a Collectivism nonetheless. The individual meant nothing. The creation of the United States changed that, and the forces of Collectivism have been attempting to destroy this nation, allied nations, and the very idea of individualism, since this country started.

Deliberate Cultural Vandalism by the Left and Muslims.

The power structures in Britain and Europe are encouraging this destruction of the West.

Thanks for a link that doesn’t require turning off blocks.

Should have known it was more praising of baby killers. Upside down sick world.

Don’t feel alone. I had to look it up, too.

And I’ve been to London and consider myself somewhat of and Anglophile. More culturally than military/history emphasis for me, so I suppose that explains my lack of knowledge in this case.

I was doing a street view around Whitechapel last year and Jack the Ripper wouldn’t have recognized the street walkers that’s for sure.

Precisely, a false dicotomy...Socialism (Nazism or Communism or collectivism) is Statist, the individual belongs to the State.

It is promoted with the false narrative of equality...There is always a ruling class that uses you as it sees fit, as cheap labor for in the Gulags for State run Factories agricultural collectives, or as expendible cannon fodder in forced death charges in some frozen northern wasteland or desert on in some pile of urban rubble.

I don’t think it’s too strong to say that the Cenotaph is given the same reverence as our Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Reverence for this site is deeply engrained. A cenotaph is a memorial to the dead that doesn’t actually a person buried in it

And Admiral Lord Nelson hauled down from his statue...Is the statue of Bodecea still existing near the house of commons alongside the river thames....?
I recall a huge bronze with Bodecea driving a chariot with 2 horses and cutlass knives sticking out from the wheel hubs.
Was captured by the Roman army along with her family and met a medieval fate.
