    If you want to know who's calling the shots, look at who you can't criticise. Every one of our political parties has a 'Friends of Israel' group that wields incredible power within the governmental sphere. AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) wields even greater power over the US government. Israel, by any measure is committing genocide and war crimes against the Palestinians. As the head of the UN said about the October 7 attack, 'It didn't happen in a vacuum'. Occupiers have no right to self defence and the response to the Oct 7 attacks goes way beyond selfe defence. People are waking up, esecially the youth.

    The first speaker likes counting. Well here are some figures for him. According to the 2021 Census only about 278,000 people (0.4%) identified as being of the Jewish faith in the whole of Great Britain. As with other faiths not all of them are necessarily practicing their religion. The census recorded about 140,000 people who identified with the Jewish faith live in North London, approx half of the total Jewish population of the entire country. The population of London is about 8.5 million. (0.16% of London pop.) The remaining 138,000 are spread throughout the populations of Scotland ,England and Wales which, excluding London, would amount to about 57 million people. (0.25%) According to the 2021 Census in Scotland approx 6,000 people identified as being of the Jewish faith in a population of 5.5 million ( 0.1% )and most of those live in either Glasgow or Edinburgh. There are only 3 Synagogues in Scotland, 2 in Glasgow and 1 in Edinburgh. While I deplore discrimination and one incident is one too many, I find it difficult to identify the widespread anti semitism which is claimed exists. Outside certain London boroughs you would need to search very hard to find a person of the Jewish faith to discriminate against.

    The current recommendations on dealing with the pro-Palestine marches is led by none other than former Labour Friends of Israel chairman Lord Walney - no conflict of interest there, then. This government has done its best to paint the peace protesters as antisemitic hate marchers and Hamas supporters. Nothing could be further from the truth, but they persist with their divisive narrative in the interests of one party only - that of Israel. If one thing has become clear in the past 8 months it’s the bare-faced lies that this government (and the incoming government) are willing to spread in their efforts to prop up an extremist apartheid regime that claims to represent and defend Jews. It does not! Jews are not responsible for the crimes of Israel, and to suggest they are complicit is nothing less than classic antisemitism.

This is Leicester right? You can park in Leicester wherever you want that’s four wheels two wheels one wheel all over the road everybody does it now everybody literally, I’m on a mobility scooter. I’ve been pushed as good into the road. I’ve seen kids walking round cars as they’re on the path I’ve seen people risking the loss just across the road just they can’t get down it all cause it’s example the second one, if you wanna know how serious this is right, has been changed The law has been changed for criminals who are shoplifters in Leicester if you could shoplifting in Leicester long as you don’t Nick over £10 worth you will not get prosecuted you will not get fine you will not get arrested. You not even get stopped if you going out to the shop all the time just the shopkeepers that can’t do it. They’re not allowed to. It has to be security. What does it where is the catcher? Is good And what they do is they let you go so that is too laws which I’m not just saying it’s adults doing this now it’s kids as well my daughter my my daughter my sister kids doing it all the time kids and kids normal so if you could teach kids to go along shopping list for the dad kids and all sorts real things to list it eventually Leicester prosecuting are gonna grow up they can do what they want that’s where social and behaviour to all breaking down everywhere and that’s what’s happening
