Months after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, RMT leader Eddie Dempsey urges people to back "the anti-fascist resistance", that is, Putin's militias, against "the far right regime in Kyiv" and NATO.

His ribbon has become a symbol of Putin's aggression, worn by Putin himself. 1/6
The meeting was organised by "Solidarity with the Antifascist Resistance in Ukraine" (SARU), a grouping of some of the nastiest of the UK far left.

This cartoon by the antisemite Latuff, posted on their Facebook account, sums SARU up: the Ukrainian Nazi snake versus Lenin. 2/6
In fact, Dempsey was so keen on SARU that he went to the launch meeting, where he lashed out at the "EU/US/British backed fascist Kiev junta" and called for "the neutralisation of British involvement in NATO military operations in Ukraine". 3/6

Alex Gordon, now the RMT's President, was on board too. Here he is, wearing his own Putinist ribbon, demonstrating with SARU outside the Ukrainian embassy in London, with an RMT banner for a backdrop. 4/6
See Gordon spell it out.

"Unequivocal support for the antifascist resistance in Ukraine."

Don't buy the "lies" of the BBC, Channel 4, and the papers about Ukraine.

What is to be done? "You have to polarise the argument." For Moscow, mind. 5/6
Steve Hedley, a sort of RMT thug's thug, was also enthusiastic. Backing Putin's vile crimes was an important cause for the RMT.

People who adore the RMT now remind me of the old line on real fascists, with a twist. "At least they make the trains not run at all." 6/6

Husam Zomlot, the man Labour now hugs, on 8 October 2023. Any condemnation of Hamas? No!

See what followed. 1/6 Image
Blame Israel! He stuck to this shifty position in the following weeks. 2/6 Image
13 October 2023. A supportive visit from Kamel Hawwash, then the Director of the "Palestine Solidarity Campaign", the Tory MP Crispin Blunt, and the Labour MP Andy Slaughter.

Blunt is no longer an MP. Slaughter is. He joined yesterday's ceremony. He cultivates extremists... 3/6

I think some may not fully appreciate what the Green Party has become. I would recommend this chilling article.

Mothin Ali is a nasty extremist who supports Hamas. That is *why* he has risen in the party.

Leading a persecution campaign against a rabbi sums him up. 1/9 Image
It was vicious and abominable.

The backdrop was the foul Israel hatred movement in Leeds, which stages hate marches for terrorists every weekend. This was no one off.

And Ali is very fond of that movement. As are Leeds Greens, always found on the "intifada!" hate marches. 2/9x Image
Any regrets? No, of course not. He was just a wee bit "clumsy", you see. 3/9 Image

The far left knows very well that when things go badly wrong it is the fault of those devious people at MI5.

Could it even be this guy? Image
Or this one? He's very fishy. Image
This one's stellar record is looking a bit different today, isn't it. Hmm!

Find the mole! Image

This is the fake human rights group Amnesty's level these days. Alexei Sayle embarks on a childish and foul-mouthed rant about "the f*****g Zionists". "Fake antisemitism." Hate marches are not hate marches. Holocaust memory abuse.

The creepy audience likes it. 1/7
They went on to titter about how awful Yvette Cooper is and how wonderful "Palestine Action" supporters are. The usual "ooh, pensioners and priests" palaver, when we can all see the protests have been horrid racist rallies for terrorists. Yes, they like attacks on the RAF. 2/7 Image
The humourless "comedian" Jen Brister also chose juvenile foul language. See her rant about people enjoying a McDonald's. Her boycott targets are favoured by the loopiest "BDS" creeps. 3/7

London, 18 January 2025. The "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" deliberately defies police orders not to march up Whitehall. Nasty scuffles ensue. 77 were arrested on the day.

What did senior Labour figures have to say about this abuse of the capital?

Nothing at all. 1/8
Know what they were ignoring. The usual chants for racist terrorists bent on genocide for the Jews, directed here at counter-protesters.

"Watch your back!"

Just up the road from Prime Minister Starmer's home.

Key march leaders were later charged with public order offences. 2/8
"Zionist scum!"

Abuse for the police. "Go to hell!" "Shut the f**k up!" "You're finished!" They struggled to regain control from the mob.

"We will march!", when the police had repeatedly told them it was not allowed. 3/8

This is sickening and offensive.

Burgon strongly supports the "Palestine Solidarity Campaign". It has abused Leeds every weekend for almost two years now with some of the nastiest hate marches ever seen in the UK.

Burgon has nothing to say about that. Nothing at all. 1/4
What "inspires" the Leeds creeps? The 7 October Hamas atrocities. 2/4
The hate marchers have a long record of arrests and convictions for racist offences, including assault.

One of their favourite rage chants: "We don't want no Zionists here!" Note the Holocaust memory abuse.

What would Burgon say about a "no Muslims here!" rabble? 3/4
