"Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." 9/11 is an event that will be remembered in history although the year might be forgotten [2001]. 7/7 train and bus bombing in London 2005 by Islamist terrorists killed 52 on their way to and from work. 7th October 2023 the date when 1,200 music attendees and civilians were murdered in Israel and 250 hostages taken into Gaza.
Apart from the number 7 being a statistical oddity a distinguishing feature of the above is that the events of two years ago are being celebrated by an assortment of evil, ignorant hateful people from unashamedly nazi inspired ex professors and MPs and clandestine colleagues of similar opinions, luvvies who consider their celebrity status elevates their opinions to those of righteousness and students who have had their minds invaded by the aforementioned educationalists and encouraged almost daily by visual media of the traditional and current on line form. Student demonstrations lauding the terrorist activities of October 7th are taking place in
London; An “Inter-University March” is scheduled, departing from King’s College near the Strand, passing LSE, UCL, SOAS, finishing at other campuses including Queen Mary University, London
Glasgow — Protests are slated at Strathclyde University and University of Glasgow.
Edinburgh — Events are due to take place at the University of Edinburgh.
Leeds — A protest is expected on the Leeds campus.
Additionally, universities across other UK cities (e.g. Sheffield) have planned events. They are described as "protests". The victim terminology of the current era has been infused with a hatred of Jews which has been held in suspended animation for 80 years and which has been fostered in a form to infiltrate those who are easily influenced by puppet masters using Roubles and Rials to pull the strings of opinion formers in the western world. And yet within the last few days government figures, including Keir Starmer our plastic prime minister, repeat like hypnotised rabbits that they can do nothing to prevent such hate mongering which was influential in the synagogue killings last week on Yom Kippur the date on which in 1973 Egypt chose to wage yet another war of aggression against the State of Israel following their failures in 1948 and 1967 to eradicate Jews from the river to the sea.
Starmer with as much eloquence as he can summon, an effort in itself, has stated in reference to today`s anticipated events that those involved have a "total loss of empathy and humanity". He goes on to describe their activities as "unBritish" and concludes "we will not be silent or indifferent to hatred aimed at anyone in our society".
And back he goes to Downing Street to wash his hands telling all who will listen that in our free society he can do nothing to prevent these openly antisemitic demonstrations of supposed solidarity with people who rejoice in the death of Jews. Those far higher up the tree of legal knowledge than I could ever aspire have made it clear that he is talking nonsense and that a British government has all the legislation it needs to put a stop to these deliverers of hate.
Under the Public Order Act police may impose conditions on processions or assemblies (time, place, route, maximum numbers) to prevent serious public disorder, criminal damage, disruption, etc. Those conditions must be necessary and proportionate. A Commissioner or Chief Constable can prohibit a protest in a certain area for up to 3 months with the Home Secretary’s agreement.
The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 strengthened police powers in relation to protests including more scope for conditions, seizure of items used to cause disruption and powers to direct persons away from certain areas. It introduced or reinforced offences relating to ‘locking on’, serious disruption, and non-compliance with conditions.
Under the Terrorism Act 2000 / Proscription powers; if a protest is directly linked to a proscribed terrorist organization (or its support) then existing counter-terrorism law can be invoked. Under the Terrorism Act 2000 “proscribed organisations or groups” are banned; membership, encouragement, support, displaying symbols, or even public expression in favor of them are criminalised. The UK government proscribed the group “Palestine Action” under these powers. Once an organisation is proscribed public support (speech, display, banners, logos) may attract arrest and prosecution.
With injunctions / civil orders / banning orders a government (or local authority / police) might seek court injunctions (civil remedies) to prevent particular gatherings or assemblies, especially if they anticipate breach of public order, incitement to violence or other unlawful acts.
The proposed “Public Order Bill” (in the policy / debate stage) includes ideas of “banning orders” on individuals (preventing them attending protests) though such measures are controversial and raise strong civil liberties objections.
There are many arguments against imposing a ban on situations I have indicated but the essence of this post is that there are ways to ban or control the proposed demonstrations. The government is unwilling to admit that these avenues are available to it. Like so much that has been heard from number 10 since 4/7/24 words bear little connection to reality or action needed. All that can be hoped for today and the days ahead is that there can be some effective opposition to the deadly undercurrent of antisemitism in this country which is being exploited by an inglorious combination of Islamists, Marxists and Fascists. This poisonous brew is being fanned daily and sometimes even hourly by a fetid combo of academics, luvvies and various media outlets financed by those who would dearly love to see the cohesion of this society fall apart. That must not happen. The canary in the coalmine is having difficulty finding its voice.
