Prime Minister Rishi Sunak took up the refrain, calling for greater police powers against what he described as "mob rule" that was supposedly "replacing democratic rule".
Separately, he insinuated that this so-called "mob" – those troubled by the killing of at least 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza over the past five months – may not "belong here", in Britain.'
They're the ones who don't 'belong' here. The protests are an expression of the real 'british values' that politicians are always banging on about, usually incorrectly. Now they're worried normal people will recognise in greater numbers that it's our so-called representatives who are the indecent, morally suspect individuals we're always being warned about. Good - they should be worried. If they can't accept being held accountable for actively supporting a genocide through legitimate democratic processes then they invite - and are ultimately responsible for - the measures people are forced to take instead. Perhaps a one-way ticket to Rwanda would be appropriate?? (Pretty harsh on the Rwandans admittedly.)
jeers,
