Epic Fail: UK Anti-Trump Protest Hoping For 250K Draws Dismal Crowd
Tammy Bruce ^ | 06-04-2019 | Shifra

Jeremy Corbyn, leader of Britain’s Labour Party, is a known anti-Semite, having called Hamas and Hezbollah his “friends,” laying a wreath at the cemetery where Muslim terrorists who murdered Israeli athletes in Munich in 1972 are buried, and regularly compares Israel to Nazi Germany.

He also wrote the foreword to the reissued JA Hobson’s 1902 work, “Imperialism: A Study,” in which the author, a Jew-hating racist, blamed the world’s problems on “a small group of international financiers, chiefly German in origin and Jewish in race,” going on to say that the stock exchange, the press and even the liquor trade was “in the hands of Jews.” Corbyn praised the book as a “great tome,” “very powerful,” “brilliant,” and “correct and prescient.”

A million could show up and it would still be a dismal crowd.

Good.

The few never-Trumpers can’t figure it out.

The Liberals are upset that someone punctured the Trump baby balloon. They call it an act of violence.

“They said 75,000 protesters braved wet weather to assemble in Parliament Square at the heart of London.

Photographs of a lackluster turnout suggested even that number was an exaggeration and still far from the 250,000 organizers claimed attended a similar protest against Trump last year.”

DoughtyOne :" Why the biggest protest in years 250,000 (-245,000)."

When your opinion of the United States comes from the only US TV station broadcast in Europe,
CNN (Commie/Clinton News Network) distorts not only the President, but also the American culture,
what else can you expect from a jingo press (?),
and the European people who don't even know that they are being lied to ?

That’s true, but did you hear about the large rally with tens of thousands of people in it, with the people at the mic over there claiming to be Deplorables from the United Kingdom?

Must have been over 100,000 people easily, and they were chanting. “we love Trump”.

Check this out. (terrible video quality, but at least you can see it / hear it)

True. These are the most depressing people on the planet.

Funny how they have to have a faction for each pompous self appointed savior of the world...even though the agendas of each group are for all practical purposes the same.

They could practically have one group for each attendee! Communists must have members whose full-time job is to come up with new names for front groups. One from the list that jumped out at me is the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), which was a Soviet front in the Cold War. Palestine Solidary Campaign dates from the 1982 Lebanon War. Global Justice Now emerged around 1970 from church groups promoting third-world aid. Stop the War Coalition was set up after 9/11 (well before Iraq, tellingly enough), and has worked with CND since at least 2003, along with the Muslim Association of Britain. Stand Up To Racism is a creature of Unite Against Fascism, founded in 2003 and accused of being a Socialist Workers Party front, and linked to the Muslim Council of Britain. Another Europe Is Possible is anti-Brexit. Labour Against Racism and Fascism is a new group launched by the Labour Party to oppose Tommy Robinson's popularity.

I should add, Stop The War Coalition was initially chaired by a prominent Socialist Workers Party member, Lindsey German.

Background on the Socialist Workers Party element in the above groups: Respect Party. I am sure you will remember George Galloway.
