Two-tier policing ‘ignore’ chants supporting Houthis and arrest man for ‘telling the truth’ claims Farage
Another Saturday and yet another March in central London. Huge numbers of people once again turning out, it is extraordinary that we’ve had all this talk over the course of the last few days.
Michael Gove is keen to appoint a new tsar to deal with Islamophobia because that it seems to be the major problem as far as the government’s concerned. Much talk about prejudice against Muslims, and yet almost no talk in Westminster about prejudice going the other way.
I met people over the weekend saying, ‘well, if they want to protect the Muslim community, what about us? Who is going to protect us?’
We had the mob in the street effectively supporting the Houthis an organisation who are a terrorist organisation prescribed in America. Not yet here for reasons I don’t quite understand.
And they’re saying please turn more ships around. That means send more rockets, send more missiles, kill more merchant seamen. Now put the boot on the other foot. And I’ve looked at the case of Nayak Gorban. He is an Iranian dissident, very against the Islamist regime that has been there for the last 40 years.
He was out on the London streets holding up a sign. Yes, I accept that it may well have been provocative to many of the marchers, but the sign simply said Hamas are terrorists.
Yes, they are because they are prescribed by the British government. They are recognised as a terrorist organisation.
For his trouble of standing up with a sign saying something that was actually factually correct, he found himself abused by many of the marchers and then pounced upon by up to half a dozen police officers.
Up to half a dozen police officers wrestled him to the ground and he was arrested. Arrested for holding up a sign that told the truth.
Some of the scenes are really quite extraordinary. In fact, I find it hard to believe this is even happening in a country that is our own.
But that is what is going on. Yes, it was provocative. I accept that. I get that. But for the police to ignore chants encouraging the Houthis to send missiles against merchant vessels and this guy gets gets literally pushed to the ground and arrested.
He was later on de-arrested, in mitigation there was a post put up on X formerly Twitter which said: “A video has been posted alleging officers arresting a man for having an anti-Hamas placard.
“This isn’t accurate. He was arrested after an altercation was ongoing and officers intervened to prevent a breach of the peace. He was arrested for assault.”
Well, one man against 200,000 maybe he was. Officers then fully reviewed the footage and he was later de-arrested.
The arrest was not made in relation to the placard. Well, you can believe what you want to believe, but an interview was done by an undercover journalist with Gorban shortly afterwards.
The journalist asked: “Why have you been arrested?” The man replied: “Because I write it down. Hamas is terrorist organisation. That’s it. “
Well, I’ve given you all sides of the argument there, including a community note. But let me ask you, do you think we now have two-tier policing in this country? Because you know what I do. And with every week that goes by I fear it gets worse. Do we have two-tier policing?
