To think Michael Gove wasn’t just out for a stroll through Victoria station last night

[Everythingnotsavedwillbelost73]

So Michael Gove just ‘happened’ to be strolling through Victoria station last night right through the middle of a pro- palestine sit in 🙄 How fucking stupid do they think people are?

Deflects nicely from Suella & right wing Tommy Robinson mob doesn’t it. The palestine March was mostly peaceful given the huge numbers but you always get a few dickheads on any March. The right wing mob however we’re fighting with police at the cenotaph. The state of this country.

I somewhat concerned that Nadine thinks she is sensible.

Nadine's in full revenge mode

Interestingly ‘staged’ has been trending on Twitter- mainly about Gove.

There are also some ghouls on Twitter who think kids in Gaza are staging their injuries - Twitter is a cesspit to be fair.

You’ve read WAY more into that than was ever intended! Badenock is right on the far right edge of the Tory party. I find her and her views completely abhorrent. I’m surprised anyone who shares her beliefs has many friends too.

Obviously completely out of order to intimidate anyone in this way, especially when someone is targeted because of the political position they hold.

But I do think that Gove didn’t end up there entirely by accident. Not sure if this has been mentioned earlier in this thread but it’s not the first time that cameras have been present as Gove has been surrounded by a mob. It happened in October 2021 with Covid protesters (Google it if you want to see how remarkably similar it was then compared to now).

It’s not a suprise, it’s well known that he WAS married to Sarah Vine. They are divorced.

Those saying he deserved it - Do you also agree: - short skirt = asking for it? , two men holding hands = well what do you expect?, Muslim women wearing burka = they're provoking us??? Or is it just politicians? Campaigners against left wing policies in the Red Wall towns ? Doorstep left wing campaigners in right wing neighbourhoods? All deserve it? Or is it just people you personally don't like who get attacked who are asking for it and so deserve it? (And you appear to enjoy it?).
So what would your world look like for those who didn't agree??

Badenock is right on the far right edge of the Tory party.
The tories like her. They don't like Mr Sunak because he's not right wing enough, and the same was true of Mrs May.

Sunak won't sack Braverman, because she's a loose cannon.

It's a shame if we can't see these people's views and policies without also seeing their sex, race or colour.

And yet they chose to do it on Armistice day 🙄

I don't think there is a formula published about how long it takes 300k people to complete a 3 mile protest march but I imagine it takes a while. I knew Gove was there in daylight but didn't know the exact time. It seems there was also a sit in protest at Victoria much like there was at Liverpool st a week or two ago.

Gove probably also had a small hand held device connected to the internet with him so could have got up to date information on the state of the area before and during his car journey.

(And, knowing you from Brexit threads, I don't believe you first read about Gove being in Victoria in the Guardian .)

So Israel says free hostages and then ceasefire.
Hamas say ceasefire then hostages free.

The difference between the two is if Hamas free the hostages how do they know Israel will keep it's word. If Israel start the ceasefire and hostages aren't freed they just start bombing again.

I can see why Hamas want the ceasefire first.

So what would be your plan to stop Hamas?? What would you do if you were Israel? What about OUR dead children? Our raped women? They are innocent too, no life is lesser than another. But I don’t see you crying over Jews.

Nothing to do with her being a WOC, I do not care for her politics, nor those of Gove, Braverman, Dorries, Johnson, Sunak, Shapps, Patel, Hunt, Barclay, and the majority of the current iteration of the Tory party.

He’s not married to her anymore and hasn’t been for quite a while.I would like to kerp Mumsnet a politics free site.

I thought that they had divorced.

Surely, if it was deliberate, Braverman would have done it herself.
😂

I bet you would 🙄 Get real

Top politicians are briefed on security. His team would have been told, due to his status, he should not be in the middle of the protest but hey ho.

Anyway it worked. We’re talking about him and not Suella’s stormtroopers seig heiling next to the cenotaph.

I will pass your kind and thoughtful remarks on to them.

Or the one with the megaphone ranting about a seventh century massacre of Jewish people "Muhammed's army will return".

You don't know me very well then - most of my info on the Brexit threads initially came from the Guardian, the Independent and the BBC - I then researched further elsewhere.

Not any more he isn’t, they are divorced.

That should be past tense. They are divorced.

Saw a funny comment on social media:

’my grandfather fought in WW2 , and if he was still alive would have agreed with everything Suella has said. Mind you, he was in the SS’!
