  1. “Is the Met favouring Tommy Robinson over the peaceful Nakba marchers?”

    “Let us be precise about what has happened here. The Met gave the political heart of London to a far-right movement whose supporters chanted ‘send them home’. It applied hate speech conditions to a Palestinian commemoration that has never once produced a hate-speech arrest.

    That is not neutrality. It is a choice. And choices like this do not merely fail democracy. They make unmistakably clear whose democratic rights are being upheld and whose are being curtailed”

  2. "A government that charges musicians with terror offences for allegedly unfurling a Hezbollah flag at a gig and a police force that rounds up pensioners by the hundred for holding placards saying “I support #PalestineAction” are not trustworthy guardians of freedom of expression."

  3. “I’M EX-POLICE. BANNING PALESTINE MARCHES IS WRONG”

    “Senior police now claim that the marches have driven the rise in antisemitism, without explaining how protests that include Jewish groups can be deemed to be terrorising the same community it is asked to keep safe.

    [..]

    Correlation is not causation. To prove the marches – rather than an external conflict – drive antisemitism, the Met would need offence-level data linking specific demonstrations to specific incidents.

    That data has not been published, if it even exists.”

  4. BBC News criticized Green Party leader Zack Polanski for expecting better standards from the Met police when apprehending the man who stabbed three British citizens.

    But BBC News did NOT show that the Met officers kicked the mentally ill man in the head five times, when he was already immobilized and down on the ground after they had tasered him.

    And of course BBC News did not ever mention that 2 hours before he stabbed two Jewish men, he had stabbed a Muslim man.

  5. "#GreenParty leader @ZackPolanski has reignited his explosive row with the head of the #MetPolice, accusing him of interference during an election campaign. A defiant Mr Polanski said he was still concerned – and that the police should not be above scrutiny."

  7. @holdenweb Criticism of the only #Jewish #political #Party #leader in the UK by a non-Jewish one on the grounds of alleged #antisemitism & illegitimate #criticism of the #MetPolice is absurd & invalid. @thegreenparty aren't stupid & neither is @ZackPolanski. They know, & he knows, just exactly what Keir #Starmer is about - & it STINKS!

  8. MET POLICE LABEL GOLDERS GREEN STABBING TERROR INCIDENT AMID WAVES OF VIOLENCE

    Back on 22 April, the Guardian reported that Palantir was in talks with the Met police to supply AI tools for use in criminal investigations. The talks sparked concerns within the force itself over allowing the shady tech company access to sensitive data”

    This is a *very* sinister development & one that imo is leading us down the path to full-blown Palantir-enabled fascism!

    You only need to check out what’s going down in TrumpLand (see below), building upon lessons learned during the #PalestinianGenocide (viz #Lavender & #WheresDaddy), to envision the road the #MetPolice are taking us down!!!

  16. "Some of the women – including some from Russia and eastern Europe – were brought to the UK after the Metropolitan police decided not to investigate Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 allegation that she had been a victim of international trafficking to London, the BBC said. Giuffre was one of Epstein’s most high-profile accusers, alleging the convicted child sex offender abused and trafficked her."

    “Leicestershire Police signed its contract with Palantir back in October 2024, for an eye-watering £818,750. It was the first UK police force to sign a deal with the US-based firm. The East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU), an organised crime and counter-terrorism grouping, also had a hand in the agreement”

  18. "#Palantir, whose software is used by Donald Trump’s ICE immigration enforcement programme and the Israeli military, demonstrated its systems to senior officers in the intelligence division at the UK’s largest police force last month. The talks have created internal concerns about allowing a controversial US company to process highly sensitive intelligence data relating to crimes, such as victims’ personal information."

Every #black person they're harassing on the streets, & every #pensioner they're #arresting for supporting #PalestineAction & opposing #Israeli #genocide in #Gaza is a #burglar or #mugger they're NOT arresting.
