"Police attack Gaza demonstration in London.
Riot police trap protestors in Hyde Park underpass."
So (according to Socialist Unity - the stopwar site has been hacked, by the Zionist Entity no doubt) sayeth the Stop The War Coalition, or whatever they're now called. George Galloway was apparently most upset.
Doesn't look like that from this video, of Her Majesty's Finest retreating from a band of doubtless peace-loving sons of the Prophet the Saturday before last.
How quickly history moves. Before 9/11 and despite the Rushdie affair, radical Islamists in the UK were a curio, presented as a comedy act by people like Louis Theroux and Jon Ronson.
So I drove Omar into town by a route that avoided Soho. We passed a poster advertising the Spice Girls' debut album.
"Such a very stupid thing," mumbled Omar. "Spicy Girls."
"What will become of the Spice Girls when Britain is transformed into an Islamic nation?" I asked.
"They will be arrested immediately," he replied. "They will not even be existing in an Islamic state. OK. We can go on. Turn right at the lights."
Even after 9/11 and 7/7 there was a police escort for people carrying banners saying 'Butcher those who insult Islam'.
Now we seem to have moved into a new phase.

UPDATE - via JuliaM, this police blog (with more video) on the demo a week later.
As usual we had been told that our role was to facilitate the lawful demonstration and that we were effectively 'community Policing' unless the situation changed and things became violent. Crucially, we were told that despite the fact that nearly every march relating to the Gaza/Israel situation had experienced violence, this was not sufficient evidence to suggest that THIS march would become violent. As such, because the senior officers are so afraid of offending the wrong people, we were NOT in possession of riot helmets or shields which were left on the carriers, although we all were in our protective gear and coveralls under the yellow jackets. We were wearing our normal everyday beat helmets and to say some were not happy about that would be a slight understatement.You won't be too amazed to learn that it doesn't end well.

Valentine's Day will be the 20th Anniversary of Khomeni's fatwa upon Salman Rushdie's. See Christoper Hitchens in this month's Vanity Fair for a fine article on said topic.

That's true, some of that attitude has persisted beyond 9/11 too, with programmes like "Don't Panic, I'm Islamic".
Laban, that’s the way of the future, it would seem. Unarmed British police officers running for their lives from a rioting mob espousing a foreign religion. I wonder how many of them are UK citizens? Of those who aren’t UK citizens how many are here illegally (and should be removed) and how many are here on some sort of temporary visa which can (and should) be withdrawn?
What I would have liked to have seen is the police meet force with force and baton these scum into submission then deal with them for the offence of riot (twelve or more persons using violence with a common purpose) and all non UK citizens to be removed. If this took 25,000 cops from half the forces in the country then so be it.
I am sure the majority of British people form Shetland to Cornwall would feel the same.
As it is nothing will happen and the incident will be glossed over by the media for fear of “offending” someone…I wonder who?
As a society we have lost our backbone, our sense of self worth and resolve. We won’t punish criminals in case the crooks don’t like it…we won’t deport foreign criminals in case they don’t like it…
These people rioting in our streets know they have the upper hand. They view tolerance as weakness and will exploit that weakness like any predator or bully.
We better get a grip quickly or this country will be lost forever.
Here's a police blogger account of a similar demo march. The telling qiuote is: "As such, because the senior officers are so afraid of offending the wrong people, we were NOT in possession of riot helmets or shields which were left on the carriers, although we all were in our protective gear and coveralls under the yellow jackets. We were wearing our normal everyday beat helmets and to say some were not happy about that would be a slight understatement."
I'm only half joking, but I think they should start thinking about having a line of pigs on leashes. But before that, dogs, surely. A friend used to come to Birmingham and stay with another friend in Balsall Heath - very high Muslim population. He brought with him his highly trained sheepdog, who didn't require a lead because he responded instantly to all commands. I went out for a walk with him a couple of times. The brown people scattered in panic as the dog approached and those who could dodged back into their houses. This was a small dog. A big fierce one, albeit with a muzzle would be even more effective.
Of those who aren’t UK citizens how many are here illegally (and should be removed) and how many are here on some sort of temporary visa which can (and should) be withdrawn?
Those aren't the ones that bother me. It's the "British" ones, the legal residents and passport holders, or the rats born in the stable that bother me.
They both bother me but we can, and must, get rid of the foreign criminals and agitators first. Then we must turn our attention to the “home grown” (loosest possible term) rioters.
Run rabbit run rabbit run run run,
Here comes the fascist with his gun gun gun,
Jew, copper, infidel its all the same to him,
So run rabbit run rabbit run run run
Fuck this
We need leadership
I don't care who it is anymore or how it is done
Go BNP
Come on Prince Hal!!!!!!
These are the most contemptible scum on earth, provided they are stood up to
"Is there no virtue extant?", as Sir John Falstaff put it(Henry IV)
Actually, Shakespeare's portrayal nothwithstanding, he was no mean leader and soldier himself. At the Battle of the "Herrings" his tactical position was not promising, but he broke out of his wagon laager and routed the Frogs with a finely judged counterattack
This is what we need!
Let us make Tyburn Tree fruitful once again and hang dhimmis in batches! "Cry cockles" - the sound of the dangling hanged, let traitors and dhimmis suffer accordingly.
But of course, not illiberally
