"People must be free to display flags if that is their wish"
- Andy Burnham, 13 October 2023
So, what did Manchester look like in those days? 1/7
A horror show. Just one day after the Hamas atrocities, this rabble assembled to "support the Palestinian resistance". The massacre was "inspiring", you see. 2/7
Then the first of the hate marches that plague Manchester to this day. The banner? "Glory to Palestinian freedom fighters." The chants? For terrorists. And hatred of Israel, a "terror state". 3/7
"Manchester supports Palestinian resistance" and the "river to the sea" cry for Israel's annihilation.
When Israel hadn't even counted its dead. And we had all seen the unspeakable horrors on our screens. 4/7
A call to the 8 October hate march. The atrocities are hailed. "A heroic move", "brave fighters", and "our duty here to express our unconditional support to the resistance". 5/7
They were ecstatic. The Socialist Workers Party shouted "Rejoice!" when the atrocities occurred.
Creepy Quakers were keen to welcome them. 6/7
And then a call to the next hate march on 14 October 2023.
These ghouls abuse Manchester to this day. The worthies just look away and say nothing.
I don't know about you, but this record strikes me as, oh, just a little bit, well, "contentious". 7/7
