Violent COUNCILLORS try to stifle ‘Free Palestine’ calls in Chorley
Remember when these people flooded into London last October to demonstrate against Israel’s genocide in Gaza? If they were violent, they could have turned our capital city into a replica of that ruined Palestinian enclave. But they didn’t because they were peaceful. It is the politicians who denigrate them that are violent.
Violence is always the resort of the ruling class.
In the clip below – taken at a council meeting in Chorley, we can see and hear members of the public calling for action to support the people of Gaza, and Palestine in general. In response, one councillor shouts, “This is Chorley, not Gaza!” and tries to physically throw the (female) main speaker out of the room.
From there, the meeting descends into chaos as those present react to what has happened.
This Writer can only agree with the observation of Another Angry Voice:
The media keep telling us that overwhelmingly peaceful Palestine protesters are a "violent mob" while they studiously ignore the overt violence of politicians who want to shut them up and shove them out of public spaces.pic.twitter.com/4Abob0wUqt

The will of the people is that the UK should do everything it can to end the Gaza genocide – but the will of the political class is that our money should be used to ensure it continues to its conclusion.
Those of us who do not accept that are also participants in the conflict, right here in the UK.
WE ARE ALL IN GAZA NOW.
