Four individuals were taken into custody after images of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto Windsor Castle, where King Charles is scheduled to host the US president during his state visit to the UK.

According to a police statement, the four adults were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications following an “unauthorised projection” at Windsor Castle, which authorities labelled a “public stunt.”

I was on the antiracist demonstration against Far Right Tommy Robinson from start to finish – including the police kettle on Whitehall. Some thoughts:

1. There were not millions on the TR demo. He is, and always has been, a pocket-sized Pinocchio.

2. The turnout was higher than the police figure of 100k. It was the size of a big Palestine solidarity demo – around 250–300k.

3. It was, without doubt, the biggest Far Right demonstration in British history.

4. I’ve been saying for weeks it would be. Robinson has been doing the podcast circuit to build it, and of course it’s been backed by the richest man on the planet.

5. Tommy Robinson works for the interests of the super-rich. Musk wants a divided Britain, as do the super-rich broadly, so they can keep getting away with profiting from gross inequality.

6. Musk doesn’t care about free speech – Tesla is the only major American car manufacturer whose workers aren’t represented by a union – but then, fascists don’t like unions.

7. Nor do Robinson and many of his supporters, who sought to target antiracists exercising their free speech at the other end of Whitehall.

8. The violence from Robinson’s street thugs was significant: openly clashing with police, throwing bottles and flares, and more.

9. There should have been far more than nine arrests. Of course, Robinson’s supporters aren’t pensioners with Palestine signs – so the mass of those guilty of violent disorder live to fight another day.

The bottom line is this: we have to turn the tide on the Far Right radicalisation happening in Britain.

And with foreign billionaires backing them, it is not going to be easy.

We will have to do things differently, and be different, to mobilise the antiracist majority in Britain.

But doing nothing is not an option.

Nearly 5 hours after the protest began and Parliament Square is jam packed with protestors opposing genocide and the Palestine Action ban.

The people will not stand for our government enabling crimes against humanity, and labelling those who opposite it as 'terrorists'.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.

This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.

No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

Terrorism:
- spraying paint on RAF planes

Not terrorism:
- shooting children in the head
- creating largest cohort of child amputees in the world
- leaving babies to die in ICU beds
- starving an entire population
- bombing hospitals and universities
- assassinating journalists

[Franck Magennis 🍉 @FranckMagennis]

Starmer’s cabinet: morally weak, spineless wretches.

@Pal_action: cool and brave af. They humiliated the RAF using scooters and red paint, highlighting Britain’s participation in the genocide of Palestinians.

When it’s all over, and Palestine is free, PA will be seen as heroes.

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

The front of the march has arrived at Downing Street. We demand our government #StopArmingIsrael 🇵🇸

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Just remember: the world could have stopped the genocide in Gaza.

We will not stop campaigning until our government finally wakes up, ends its complicity in crimes against humanity, and stops arming Israel.

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

Keir Starmer - don't look away!!!
Over 42 000 people have sent our emergency action to @Keir_Starmer telling him to take action - stop arming Israel, stop Israel's attempt to erase Palestinians from the north of Gaza. Fill his inbox with our demands - follow the link here to send: https://t.co/mFFI9EWRrl

“I was a teacher. When I lined children up for dinner - black, white, Jewish, Muslim - do you know what they did? Hold hands. Our children show us the type of future we all want to see. Let’s stand up to the racists, and build a society fit for all our children.”
