This is not an accurate description of events at all.
I was part of a delegation of speakers, who wished to peacefully carry and lay flowers in memory of children in Gaza who had been killed.
This was facilitated by the police. We did not force our way through.
When we reached Trafalgar Square, we informed police that we would go no further, lay down flowers and disperse.
At that point, the Chief Steward, Chris Nineham was arrested. We then turned back and dispersed.
I urge the police to release all bodycam footage and retract its misleading account of events.
On her left lapel she’s wearing a TfL baby on board badge clearly signifying that she’s pregnant, yet they handle her aggressively. Remember when we saw scenes like these on the news reporting on Russia or China? We never thought it happen here.

Fuck off right wingers moaning about the state of NHS. You watched Tories decimate it. You watched them give £Bs in Tory VIP Lane contracts to their mates. You watched them deliver £100ms useless PPE. You watched them buy yachts & stash £Ms abroad. Now you have a problem?
Keir Starmer has given the green light to the police to go after Jeremy Corbyn.
We are in very dangerous waters now.
The police, the Labour Government and #BBC working hand in hand to shut down pro-Palestinian support.
Welcome to the Starmer fascist state.

i pray for a ceasefire but a ceasefire does not free Palestine. israel violates ceasefires. we must fight for a liberated Palestine from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea and anything less is inadequate and shameful.
