The two minute silence on the saturday won't be recorded at the cenotaph. There is no ceremony at the cenotaph on Saturday to record. If it's recorded anywhere it will be at the National Arboretum where a service will be broadcast for the armed services.

That makes sense.

I'm sure some wags will post a video on X/Facebook from the Cenotaph for the same time by way of contrast Wink

Hmm... they're going nowhere near the Cenotaph you say Thinking

Police brace for largest pro-Palestinian protest and impose Cenotaph exclusion zone

Suggestions of counter-protests and “football hooligans” defending the Cenotaph seem to have persuaded The Met to shield it themselves. Suella was right.

The best thing for the nation this weekend might be for the pro-Palestinian crowd to show their true colours and trash the place watched by our ineffective police force. It might open some eyes.

Why haven't the people who're organising events on Saturday the 11th been told that there aren't any events on Saturday the 11th? Rolling Eyes

Also curious, no one in the press mentions what else is going on in London on the 11th...

And typically there are no public parades on the 11th if its not a Sunday, just a two minute silence. The parades happen on the Sunday.


It looked like a carnival today.

Pretty sure the Lord mayor's.parade predates the first world War by a couple of hundred years.

100 arrests so far of the patriots who turned up to 'protect' the cenotaph.

Is this the point where it appropriate for me to start a chorus of 'you're not singing any more'?

Patriots my arse! The ‘Muslamic Raygun’ lot played right into the Establishment’s hands. Now it’ll be even more difficult to express even moderate views without being branded ‘Far Right’. Absolute idiots.

However, that one-sided arrest rate when no one was injured and nothing was damaged seems astounding. We’ve seen far worse behaviour treated more leniently. This might also precipitate Suella Braverman’s departure, the only Tory with a backbone.

But according to the BBC,

Quote:
Metropolitan Police … have detained a breakaway group of around 150 people from the pro-Palestinian demonstration.

The group in Grosvenor Place in Belgravia were firing fireworks and many are wearing face coverings, the force says in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The Met is using the word detained in its statement, but this may not be the same as being arrested. BBC News is asking the Met for more information.

There was only one group shown live on sky news attacking the police just by the cenotaph just before the 2 minute silence this morning.

I believe most of the arrests were for nothing to do with the protest. Stuff like carrying knives and other offensive weapons, drunk and disorderly and posession of class As. Easy win for the cops, simple case to prove, no political arguments involved.

Which reminds me of the old saying "Only commit one crime at a time.".

Robinson has been active in far-right politics for many years. He was a member of the neo-fascist and white nationalist British National Party (BNP) from 2004 to 2005. For a short time in 2012, he was joint vice-chairman of the far-right British Freedom Party (BFP). Robinson led the EDL from 2009 until 8 October 2013.

So you don't know. Given Romania fought side-by-side with the Germans in WWII I'd have thought it would have been an easy task for you. How disappointing.

And it's a poor attempt at trolling to quote wikipedia on anything even slightly political Rolling Eyes
