A SATURDAY IN LONDON
Powerline ^ | 26 October 2024 | John Hindeerraker

We are in London, and spent the morning touring Parliament. When we emerged from the Palace of Westminster, a demonstration was in progress in Parliament Square. There were Union Jacks and St. George’s Crosses everywhere. There were a few Israeli flags, too, and we saw at least one Trump sign. I filmed this short video:

News coverage of the protest was rather breathless:

Thousands of Tommy Robinson supporters packed central London as a sea of massed protesters saw the capital’s streets bubbling with rage.

We didn’t see any rage. The mood of the pro-U.K. protest was festive and cheerful. There were screens on which videos were shown, and apparently a band had played earlier. Tommy Robinson himself was not present. He organized the rally but was arrested yesterday and incarcerated. So he appeared by video; I think he was on the screen while we were watching.

What liars.

They're reporting what they wish it were, not what it really was.

What hate filled and hateful people.

It would seem that Tommy Robinson has been arrested more times than your average drug dealer in CA. One wants a free society and the other is a criminal, just like here these days.
