Who radicalised Nan? If the arrests at the Palestine Action demonstrations on the weekend are anything to go by, the world of crank-Left protest is a hell of a lot older than its youthy reputation would have you believe. According to the Metropolitan Police, half of the 532 activists who were arrested in London on Saturday – mostly for expressing support for Palestine Action, now a proscribed organisation – were aged 60 or over. Ninety-seven of those nicked were in their 70s. Fifteen of them were in their 80s. If Britain’s middle-class oldsters keep getting banged up at this rate, Saga Cruises’s revenues will never recover.

A lot of this is surely seasoned placard-wavers keen to relive the glory days of the Sixties and Seventies, with whatever cause they have attached themselves to becoming almost secondary.
Boomers refusing to leave the stage even when the theater is empty.
I am always amazed when I see ANYONE who is at least 40 years old believing in leftist ideals.,let alone 60 and beyond. Sometimes I feel sorry for them. Nah. F em. They can go to Hell. And in reality,that’s where they’re going.
They have nothing better to do - not working and with plenty of time on their hands. Same for the younger crowd of unemployed, radical LGBT weirdos.
At least they have their blue hair in common.
Bunch of old hippies
>> Boomers refusing to leave the stage even when the theater is empty.
That pithy comment made this ol’ Boomer LOL! There’s some truth in it...
They are gambling on their socialism outliving them. They dont care what happens after they die.
I think anybody who wants socialism, no matter the price their children pay are just horrible people.
Yes the bra burners are still with us
Same thing going on here.
Many of the “ Elon Musk is a nazi and Trump is a fascist” crowd…are senior citizens.
They are the same as my parents. A lifetime government job. Any and every challenge, or threat to socialist commie ideals is considered a grave threat to their existence.
Not everyone who is concerned with the current Palestine situation is a socialist, or worse, a Communist. Personally I am and have been a self paid entrepreneur.
I first became aware of the “Jewish” problem at age 8, shortly after WW2 ended. I saw the pictures in one of the popular magazines of that era—probably Life, or Post. The one that is permanently imprinted in my brain is the horrible ditch the size of a football field, filled with thousands of dead Jewish bodies heaped and tangled together with the fluids smeared over their corpses. The previous year when 7 I had seen the end of a terrible accident when a truck jackknifed leaving a car crashed into it, and 4 bodies hanging out of windows bleeding to death and all probably already dead.
Today I feel the same horror I felt then as I see the total destruction of almost all Gaza and ordinary people in huge quantities. Yes, Oct. 7 was horrible, and Hamas needs to be destroyed. But is it necessary to destroy the Palestine people at the same time or starve them slowly to death? suspect a number of the elderly demonstrators have some of my feelings which have nothing to do with political ideology. Simply a regard for common humanity. Some people including leaders have experienced so much, that they have lost their own humanity.
It is important for those who still retain their feelings for people, kindness, and mercy to remind such leaders and terrorists of these important feelings that the BEST leaders of ALL religions try to teach their followers. Only with such common humane action will the horrors of terrorism, warfare, and cruelty be eliminated.

There are no civilians in Gaza - they are all Hamas. One falls and 2 others take his place - men, women, children.
Do not fall for the Hamas propaganda line that there are ‘innocents’ in Gaza. Some of the worst atrocities during the October massacre were committed by women and children, cheering and dancing in their glee at killing Jews.
They smoked too much weed or fried their brains with drugs when they were younger, so they’re unable to grow up out of their idiot younger ideals into maturity
