I missed the Ipswich match last night, I was watching Leeds doing to Boro what they did at Portman Road. I honestly thought we weren't playing until Saturday.
If this sorry event leads to the banning of certain protests or ridiculously heavy fines (or imprisonment) for filming or taking photos of police behaviour (which happened recently in France) it would be another sorry loss of our freedoms.
What is does prove is that is that the person doing the subtitles isn't very good.
Mr Falter clearly says "What is wrong with that?" but the subtitles say What is wrong with THEM?"
And whilst the protester makes a throat cutting gesture, there is no audio (or subtitling) of the protester's words.
He could be saying that he'd seen Falter doing the gesture.
Either way, I have my doubts that either the protester or Mr Falter gestured such a thing. The protester doesn't have the facial expression to accompany such a threatening action and it appears the police were watching Mr Falter quite closely.
"As an aside, back in the day, did people ridicule and/or dive into the history and motives of climate protestors and BLM activists, etc…and try and discredit them that way,….anyhoo…"
Certainly the Police were guilty of very clumsy (and unacceptable) language but no heavy handedness as far as I could see from the long version of Mr Falter's interaction with the Police. I think enormous tolerance and restraint were on display on this occasion. All of which suggests to me that they were fully aware of who they were dealing with and the potential for problems, but they still managed to give Mr Falter a juicy story.
Falter says "On Saturday 27th April — the next anti-Israel march — we are asking you, Jewish or not, to stand up for the tolerance and decency of which this country is so rightly proud, simply by going for a walk. For those who want to walk together on the 27th, we will suggest a time and location where people can meet, which we will post on our social media accounts on the 26th."
I suggest he and his supporters join the Jewish bloc in the video above. That would be an enormous stride towards reducing antisemitism in London.
I'd love a match day thread. Leicester's one for WBA is an absolute treasure as it tracks the emotions of the fans in real time. There's a case for the matchday chatroom serving the same purpose but they don't seem to be saved despite being a great source of fish puns.
When you were in the demonstrations you mention, did you or anyone accompanying you record individuals marching with you and then publish any misdemeanours online, contact the press, misrepresent the protests you were joining and criticise the police for not doing their job as you considered it should be done?
