How have we come to a state where the police confront someone for being overtly Jewish?

Now more importantly I need to plan my outfit for when I ‘go for a walk’ on Saturday. How about this hoodie? https://www.judaicawebstore.co.uk/no-to-antisemitism-unisex-hoodie

And yet more victim blaming from people who don’t want to acknowledge the uncomfortable fact that the marches are antisemitic.

Still no comments on two tier policing… why is that?

I've watched the video in its entirety. That jewish man ignored the rules, was deliberately walking into the crowd in the wrong direction, provoking members of the crowd, and antagonising them. His reasons for walking into the crowd was because he "wanted to get to the other side." However, when the police officer offered to walk him another direction to get to the other side safely, he refused and became combative.

His name's Gideon Falter and he's been known to do this at many protests. Brings his bodyguards with him and provokes and antagonises pro-Palestinian demonstrators.

I'm not one for taking sides, but this was transparent. Sky News even posted it.

"Here's video of GF before he crossed the road at Aldwych to assault the police officer."

So numerous posts have seen the long video and none of us saw him assault a police officer.

Do you want to either point out the time in the video this " assault "
Is supposed to have taken place or simply admit that you just made this shit up?

"Ultimately he achieved his goal - if his goal was to undermine UK democracy and make UK Jews feel more uncomfortable - I agree."

And how exactly did he undermine UK democracy?

These tin foil hat conspiracy theorist posts are very tiresome.

Why would he want to make Jewish people uncomfortable?

I did, but I didn't see him assault a police officer.

Ultimately he achieved his goal - if his goal was to undermine UK democracy and make UK Jews feel more uncomfortable - I agree.

yawn… we’re going round in the same boring circles again. Ultimately he achieved his goal and sometimes the end justifies the means.
But no one on here seems to want to talk about how clear it is that we have two tier policing after Saturday and the St George’s March. How strange.

Maybe there is more than one bad actor around.

It was a great choice of words, because it was an honest choice of words.

It might have offended people, but the real problem there is the marchers who might attack the visibly Jewish person, isn't it?

Except I certainly wouldn’t want to cross the road through a demonstration of men who hate women, and I wouldn’t try to push past a police officer who was trying to stop an escalation.
I think everyone will agree it was a very poor choice of words, obviously.

13 minutes of what? Talking to a police officer? Assault?

@Becky776 UK law has quite a low bar for assault, especially of a police officer. May be different where you are. 13+ mins of argybargy is enough over here.

GF didn’t assault a police officer, it’s off the scale victim blaming and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
CAA (and other Jewish organisations) have been raising concerns about the marches and antisemitism for 6months and been gaslight and ignored. It’s taken GF, at considerable personal and reputational risk, provoking a reaction from the police to get this taken seriously and it’s worked. The Met’s been told by PM to ‘police not manage’ and the Met had a meeting with leaders of several well respected Jewish organisations on London.
What he’s done is really brave, he’s stood up for his community.

Watch the long video

When did he assault a police officer?

Here's video of GF before he crossed the road at Aldwych to assault the police officer. To those who know the area, how did he cross the march the 1st/xth time?

Never trust Twitter, never trust something with multiple edits.

If the message is too good to be true, it is probably propaganda,

Darn it! This is why I never trust Twitter, it was posted as a pic from London event.

The Sikh man and his horse were celebrating St George's Day in Plymouth.

I don't think these men were on the Tommy Robinson march.

TR only got arrested because GF demanded it.

Worth a google.

Given how much Tommy Robinson wanted to join the March against antisemitism in November (where he got arrested), I’m sure GF would have been fine had he turned up looking ‘openly Jewish’.
This Sikh man and his horse seem to be having a lovely time https://twitter.com/OliLondonTV/status/1782767815151218924

You're saying that the marches are as obviously dangerous as a rampaging horse?

Thank goodness that GF was not taking a walk today. "No officer I want to walk in front of that galloping horse so that everyone can see the issue".

Or yesterday...imagine your own bias thingy...
