Another day, another protest.

Is this a functioning country or a students’ union? Sometimes, it’s hard to tell.

Now, I don’t have any allegience in respect of this Israel-Hamas dust-up. It’s all tragic, but I don’t really give a toss.

And let’s be honest, who really does?

But what is this pro-Palestinian protest going to achieve other than to serve as a lightning rod for aggro and counter-protests and to cost innocent people time and money? I can’t imagine Benjamin Netanyahu will be tuning in to Sky News and being influenced by a gang of piss-stained crusties screaming soundbites.

Pointless.

The same old scabby waifs and strays who kicked off about trannies, gays, BLM, women, fossil fuels, fracking, and the Ukraine tada, tada, tada, will be crawling out from under their respective stones for a rant, a punch-up, and potent shot of self-actualisation.

It makes them feel alive.

We know that terrorists aim to scare people and disrupt society. That’s the objective of protests too – to steer disinterested parties into conflating their resulting sense of inconvenience with whomever is in the cross-hairs – and for the so-called activists to personally get a phat buzz from it.

If that weren’t the case, the pro-Palestinian lobby and every other band of sweat-stained shitkickers would just set up a website and use mailing lists to make their case.

You could not however ban protests – that would be the start of a slippery slope into autocracy.

Well, maybe not. We are arguably already underway on that jolly. On the other side of the current conflict, we’ve already seen action being taken against folk who use the words from the river to the sea.

Bear in mind that you can now get your collar felt for declaring that a woman retrieving a big ol’ cock from her own panties is not really a woman, we already need to tread carefully.

You couldn’t make it up.

Pretty soon, some insufferable flid will be spinning ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ as antisemitic rhetoric.

Lamentably, hope does not currently spring eternal on turd island – common sense winning the day and people deciding not to get involved is probably a bridge too far for the sane minority who remain.

You cannot realistically expect the spanner rent-a-mob to relinquish their slacktivism – it’s all the poor souls have got.

Fuckwittery in this country has now become injected into street DNA by years of poor education and a general sense of hopelessness, not to mention cement-cut scag.

And let’s not forget that hijacking causes is a favoured ‘route one’ to oodles of virtue-signalling feelgood fuel for the demo demons.

Frustratingly, Sue Ellen Braverman has piped up, which has not advanced any cause – apart from her own among the swivel-eyes loons of the proto-fascist fringes. If she promoted Christmas, we’d all vote to can it.

In her defence, she has put the boot into the terminally useless police, who will probably be too busy spit-roasting intoxicated women to worry about the hordes of screeching Universal Credit claimants pissing on the Cenotaph.

But restrictions on protest locations surely makes sense? Not to cater for any sentimental claptrap, but to allot a space for the rabble to shuffle in and cry their hearts out where it won’t unwarrentedly impinge on the lives of others.

The fake activist cabal would never buy that, because disorder and intimidation is what it’s all about.

Quod erat demonstrandum.
