Marches should be all standing protests not marching through streets.

[ShockingBritain]

The hate marches should be moved to standing protests only.

Hate marches linked to rise in antisemitism. Antisemitism is rife in the UK and in political parties). It's now deemed a national emergency with severe warning of a threat in next 6 months to Jewish community.

Easier to contain and control those present, that want to cause trouble or break the law.

Save millions policing, compared to moving protests, where officers are required along the route, and more planning involved.

People can still use their right to protest.

Will prevent marches going through areas (Jewish areas) which cause increased fear.

Easier to avoid the marchers if you aren't interested in the cause. Saves having to ensure screaming 'globalise the intifada', 'free Palestine' etc being shouted or screamed at you, as you attempt to pass.

The marches in the UK do not change the lives of ordinary people in Gaza.

"Antisemitism at universities, particularly in the UK and Europe, has reached critically high levels, with a 117% increase in incidents reported on UK campuses recently, leading to normalization of anti-Jewish harassment and a climate of fear. A 2026 report found 49% of students heard pro-Hamas chants, and 23% witnessed targeted abuse, prompting urgent demands for better protection and tougher action against hate."

No.

That’s only 6%. There isn’t much to be gained in going after the votes of 6% (who won’t all agree) and ignoring 94%.

Just want to point out there is no real “ceasefire” in Gaza, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed since that supposed “ceasefire”, many of them children. Refugee camps still being targeted, including a tent that was being used as a temporary school.

Sorry didn’t want to derail, it’s just you mentioned the ceasefire, and I think it’s important that people understand children are still being killed.

It feels like the current trend is to attack UK Jewish people, online, in person, at university, at work, everywhere.

Jewish people in the UK are not responsible for Gaza. A mantra that should be added to the chanting on the marches to show they don't wish to increase hatred or incite aggression and its really 'just' about peace. You won't ever hear that though.

Jewish people in the UK are not responsible for Gaza.

Wholeheartedly agree.

No march should be allowed to take place unless and until the organisers are able to provide proof of insurance to compensate for all possible damages caused.

This needs repeating everywhere, including on the marches.

Jewish people in the UK are not responsible for Gaza.

No they are not. But many people attend Pro Palestine marches to express their support for an oppressed people who are being bombed and starved by the Israeli government, not the Jewish people of the UK.

This.

How about we only allow walking protests for the causes you agree with OP?

So? i think the Gaza marches have to stop because of issues around them.

And in general i think the ability to protest is a very basic and unquestionable right in a democratic society. And for sure i insist we keep that.

But individual Jewish people are not the Jewish government and attacking them is an antisemitic act.

The pro Palestinian marches should now be static in a park somewhere.
They are basically hate marches.

How about standing protests for all causes.

The police can monitor more easily for trouble, it costs less to police and doesn't mean going through Jewish areas causing fear (they are nothing to do with Gaza), other people not involved or interested in any particular cause doesn't have to have their life disrupted.

Can protesters not protest in standing protests?

You can’t stop people peacefully walking along public thoroughfares.
We live in a democracy. This is the sort of thing the Chinese or Russian governments would suggest, to enable them to ‘control’ free speech.

Many Jewish people are on the marches.

It comes across as if you want to ban protests.

A standing protest somewhere out of sight is not much use

How many times a day can that guy tweet about how antisemitism is not real? He needs to get a hobby.

"How many times a day can that guy tweet about how antisemitism is not real? He needs to get a hobby."

He's not said that antisemitism is not real . He's just pointing out that many Jewish people are on what people like you term the so called "hate" marches.* *

In between complaining about how much attention antisemitism is getting and many accusations of antisemitism are smears.

Maybe it's you that needs the hobby. Do you not believe that many Jews attend these marches?

Why do I need to get a hobby?

Yes there are some Jewish people on the marches, as has been pointed out a million times by a million people. There are also some openly antisemitic people on those marches.

There could be a few but definitely not enough to deter these Jewish people.

Good for them. I'm sure they're some random Hamas supporter is using them to make a political point on twitter.
