More than 400 people were arrested at a pro-Palestine protest in central London today, held in defiance of calls to cancel the demonstration following the terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester.

Elderly people, relatives of Holocaust survivors, and those with disabilities were among the 492 arrested in Trafalgar Square, as protesters voiced their support for banned terror group Palestine Action.

“The final arrest total for today’s public order policing operation in central London is 492. 488 of the arrests were for supporting a proscribed organisation,” Met Police said.

“The remainder were for being drunk and disorderly, common assault, a public order offence and being wanted for an unrelated matter. The youngest person arrested was 18, the oldest was 89.

“297 remain in custody, the rest have been bailed.”

“More than 400 people were arrested”

Yes! I”m tired of arrests of one or two in the USA flashpoint cities. HUNDREDS should be arrested at every riot (NOT “demonstrations”). And keep them locked up for two or three years awaiting trials.

Antifa is now a “proscribed organization” in the USA. It’s way past time we arrest HUNDREDS of the vermin and ship them to GITMO.

I guess age, heredity, and disability aren’t related to rational thought and morality.

Did the police then arrest themselves for Islamophobia?
