Victory Drive In London 25 January 2025

Yes, you read that right. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign are leading a Victory Drive in London tomorrow using cars, quad bikes and superbikes. I can't link the poster advertising this but have no reason to believe it is untrue. First question, how is a so-called genocide suddenly a victory? In whose mind  are the innumerable deaths of Palestinians and the destruction of Gaza a victory? Of course it could  be one, now that $$$ will be handed to Hamas to rebuild their arsenal and their tunnel city.Second question, how is it legal for a proscribed terror group, with which the PSC is aligned,to drive through London celebrating a victory?Third question, how is our gracious Mayor, the Met Police and our PM going to protect Londoners and the millions of visitors likely to be in central London tomorrow? It is no longer just Jewish Londoners who are afraid of terrorist sympathisers. And, make no mistake, those of you who have been on the countless marches, you have been hoodwinked. But get in your car or on your quad bike/superbike tomorrow by all means.

Ms Grant''Why are British people accepting this?'I don't think they do.Of course it is only my gut feel but I believe the vast majority have little sympathy or support for the Palestinian 'cause' and probably have never heard of the leftist and racist groups that organise mass demonstrations on its behalf.There used to be a TV quiz show 'Family Fortunes' where two families were told "One hundred people were asked ....." and they had to guess what the majority views were.I would imagine if told "One hundred people were asked what comes to mind when you hear of a pro-Palastine march", the answer would be terrorism, illegal immigration and a waste of police time.

Mr CarterI am sure you are not a Hamas supporter as this is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK and supporting them might cause you to receive 'a knock on the door'.I would just say that on balance it seems to me you are far more sympathetic and supportive of the Palestinians than you are of the citizens of Israel.Have I gained the wrong impression ?

'We cannot imagine what these poor girls have gone through'.See new thread I posted this morning.

"all you Hamas supporters".Who are these supposed Hamas supporters here? Perhaps you'd care to explain, because it looks to me like a particularly unpleasant smear.

Whether a Victory Drive actually takes place or not it seems that the stupidity of Stop The War, PSC, Muslim Association of Great Britain etc know no bounds. They are protesting their right to 'Defend Their Right To Protest' in East London this afternoon. This is laughable when they have been  allowed free reign for the past 16 months but they state (sorry can't link) that 'As our growing movement in solidarity with the Palestinian people is experiencing renewed attacks, join us' for a public meeting to hear how we push back .....'Why are British people accepting this?

No problem Robert. The way these terrorists  release of hostages is shocking in the very least and the Red Cross don't appear able to prevent it. Hope all you Hamas supporters are proud.

Sorry for possibly hijacking this thread but just watching 4 young female Israeli soldiers possibly being released today in front of a baying Hamas crowd in Gaza.  These 4 young girls are only 19 and the others 20 when they were captured on October 7th.  We cannot imagine what these poor girls have gone through.

Hope you're right but I don't put anything past Hamas supporters. I saw the 'advertising' poster via a journalist friend.

I just spoke to a friend who would actually know about this stuff and he said there is no such thing planned or if there is there's no way it's planned by The Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

https://palestinecampaign.org/Certainly nothing listed on their website. Can you get a photo of the poster?
