When minor trouble at a pro #Palestinian march in October led to 10 or so arrests #DailyExpress newspapers called for 'hate mob' to be banned. When 'nationalists' with the #England flag fought with Police yesterday at a #StGeorgesDay march there is no similar call or coverage.
'What seems on the surface to have been a reasonable request to accommodate an act of spiritual significance required by the Muslim faith, has once more been cast as an issue of security.'

So far the British Media has published 959 articles referencing #GideonFalter & the Metropolitan Police.
Just, ONE of those articles mentions Falter is vice chairman at the Jewish National Fund (JNF UK) described as 'a charity complicit with ethnic cleansing' in Palestine
Excellent journalism and interviewing from Mishal Husain on BBC Radio 4 of the former Home Secretary.
More journalists should challenge the framing of the pro-Palestinian marches as hate marches and infested with antisemitism
