Last Sunday in Speakers’ Corner there were about 100 cyclists who suddenly descended on the area. They were all decked out in identical attire, which had obviously been mass-ordered and mass-produced and paid for by someone or some group. The tee shirts said THE BIG RIDE PALESTINE. They came cycling to the corner where everyone debates and then they stopped and started chanting “From the river to the sea.” This is essentially a call for the genocide of the Jewish people. There happened to be one Jewish man trapped in among them, and I ran to his aid and filmed as many of them as I could. He was gracious enough, once he had calmed down, to allow me to buy him a cold drink and have a chat.
Joshua Winston – Hi Joseph, I’m Joshua. What did we just witness in Speakers’ Corner?
Joseph – About 100 cyclists just rode through with tee shirts saying, “End the siege on Gaza,” and chanting “Free Palestine.” What are you freeing it from? Essentially, they want a state that is Palestinian in nature but they want to get the Jews out of there. They want a Jew-free country. This is what Abbas has said on many occasions. That’s what these cyclists are supporting. Ending the siege on Gaza is supporting Hamas, essentially.
JW – What colour were the majority of those cyclists today?
Joseph – White.
JW – And they were all branded with the same outfits; someone’s funding them. The most disturbing thing for me is that they were chanting “From the river to the sea.” Can you explain what that means for our readers?
Joseph – There’s the moderate pro-Palestinians and there are there are the extreme ones. The moderate ones understand that the Israeli boundaries must remain. And “From the river to the sea” is saying “wipe all Jews off the map.” It’s codeword for kill all Jews. Do you think a Jew should have no right to self-determination?
JW – The worrying thing for me about those cyclists is that the whole of the park seemed to be on their side. Not one person, besides myself, came to your aid, and I placed my body between anyone who looked to me like they might want to get physical.
Joseph – (laughs) Well, Speakers’ Corner belongs predominantly to a certain group of people.
JW – I’ll say it – Muslims.
Joseph – Yes, so I wasn’t surprised, but I would not let something like that pass me by, no matter how many numbers there were. If you don’t say anything, then the protestors win, and I was really not ready for it. It came from nowhere. I’m normally a shy guy, but I was overwhelmed with an adrenaline rush. Did they have permission to do that? I have no idea.
JW – The park has very specific cycle lanes. They were not using them and they drove through no-cycling zones. I’ll go back and show the police my footage.
Joseph – And the police are nowhere to be seen. That was a totally inappropriate occurrence. I don’t even live here. I’m on holiday from the States, and for me to come back here and witness such casual violence is unsettling. There’s no war going on in Gaza just now, they’re sending over flaming balloons to our kindergartens and dropping bombs on us.
JW – What upsets you the most about this?
Joseph – I don’t care about Hamas, what upsets me the most that there are seemingly normal people walking through this city with no idea what Jews are living under in Israel, and yet they’re spouting such hatred towards us.
JW – The anti-Semitism in the UK just now is rife. It’s a pity you had to come back after two years in order to be met with contempt and hatred.
Joseph – Those cyclists in their expensive outfits and fancy bikes have no idea of what life in Israel is like. They’re informed by selective news outlets from the comforts of their couches, and then they’ll decide to have a day out and protest about something on which they know nothing.
———-
It should be noted that I went back to the park after I had conducted my interview and I spoke with police officers, who said that I shouldn’t expect anything to be done about it, not even for one person to get a ticket for cycling in a non-cycling lane, even although the park laws stipulate a £50 fine. Makes me wonder whose side the cops are on.
PRCS says
Were police there at the time?
Diane Harvey says
“Makes me wonder whose side the cops are on.”
Wonder no more. They’re on the side of the Muslims.
Rita says
@ Diane Harvey: not “on the side of the Muslims”, but UNDER the Muslims, in more ways than one.
J D S says
So right Rita, so right!
Baucent says
100 Guardian reading liberals. But put it in perspective, 20,000 people marched to Free Tommy. The tide of change is not with the Left.
Susan B says
Baucent, thanks for that huge ray of hope. Brainwashed people are starting to make me physically ill. If you were to ask these idiots what their protest was about, they would recite the propaganda nonsense of MSM verbatim. To be a sheep requires no critical thinking. Sadly sheep in large numbers can be dangerous.
gravenimage says
Yes–heartening, Baucent.
Westman says
“Makes me wonder whose side the cops are on.”
When a nation becomes socialistic, the police are on the side of least work. The tendency of the political leaders to avoid conflict, to retain influence and votes, is an open invitation to minimal enforcement.
Why would police risk political backlash and poverty if their paycheck is threatened by rigorous enforcement?
Carol the 1st says
Laws, values and integrity don’t seem to carry the same heft that riots, property damage, and losing your job do. Some say fear of rioting was why O.J. Simpson wasn’t convicted. Authorities (or better yet, Karma) did seem to be waiting for him later down the road however
mortimer says
The duplicitous Labour Party in UK is behaving like the Communist Party of the USSR under Stalin in which anti-Semitism became acceptable and remained so long after Stalin’s death.
The KGB actually began the anti-Israel movement in order to ingratiate the Communists with racist Muslim Arabs and undermine their cosiness with the US. It appears the Labour Party in UK is taking a similar strategy with Muslims to divide and rule, even though they actually despise Islam if you got them alone and they admitted the truth.
J D S says
Still trying to post and still having problems..Apparently the WEbsite us still having problems..Hope they get it fixed soon.
J D S says
Sometimes go through and sometimes they don’t..I am posting directly from JW site not from my email.
Westman says
This “Akismet” (see page bottom) seems to be a new addition and another entity that collects identifying information. Let’s hope their server doesn’t get hacked. We seem to have reverted to a previous system where comments are delayed until after “spam” processing and more duplicate comments are getting through.
Maybe they put Windows 10 on the server and there was an update? (joke, not serious)
gravenimage says
Actually, our recent problems here were likely started by an update on the server.
StellaSaidSo says
Likewise. Hit & miss. Sometimes works, sometimes not. Required to sign in every time. Very tedious.
mortimer says
They chant ‘We are all Palestinians!’ However, if they believed that, they would go to Gaza and the West Bank and they would find out the locals disagree and consider them meddlesome outsiders. Every year leftish women are seen going to the Pally areas in Israel where they come under the tutelage of a powerful local tough. They then commence a concubine relationship and end up being passed around as a party favor. Finally, they are traumatized and return to England or America with totally shattered illusions.
These Leftards are COMPLETE KNOW-NOTHINGS in the matter of the Jewish homeland. They are tools of their leaders who are merely using this issue to gain votes and actually couldn’t care less about who owns or operates Israel so long as the Labour Party gets votes.
Chanah says
Need to print up signs that say “Jew-free is right for me”, hand them out, and take photos. Show them for what they are. Although for some reason, no one minded when Muslims chanted “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas”. No shame in Britain. Oh, wait, maybe they like they idea of Muslims doing what they are too spineless to do!
Larry says
Uniforms at a political event?
Highly illegal in the UK, has been since Mosely and the last lot of fascists way back in the 1930s.
Of course, no cop in the UK is going to do a thing about it.
Michael Warden says
The leaders of Britain First were arrested couple of years back for “wearing political iniforms”. Beanie hats with Britain First on them.
gravenimage says
Good grief.
FYI says
Leftardism;such a tragic disease..it seems to break out more frequently these days in public with the intellectually challenged and the stupid.Like those professional retards,the antifa fascists,they simply love the gear,dressing up for the Great Mission.
“We are all palestinians”.Clearly,some of these sad creatures need to be sectioned.
Actually…”We are all retarded now”
Note:-
The “palestinians” are a made-up people just like the mythical land of “palestine”:an islamic fantasy faery land.
The Jews have a LEGITIMATE right to Israel:the “palestinians” don’t.
The God of Moses explains it in the Book of the Joel 3;the land of Israel was ALWAYS going to be used by the actual God for the re-establishment of Israel:for the Jews.
Jews understand that.Christians {should} also see that.
moslems,with their antisemitic,antichristian {koran 9:30} god of hate, of course,don’t.
These cylcists may as well have this slogan written on their outfits…..
THE BIG RIDE TO….. NARNIA
“We are all Narnians now”
{BTW if they are all “palestinians” now ,perhaps they won’t mind apologizing and atoning for the endless terrorist atrocities committed by these peace-loving “palestinians”.
“We are all Yasser Arafat”
Predictably,the police are too lazy and blind to do anything:what a thundering disgrace!}
Carol the 1st says
A Summary of NARNIA shows there’s an “evil, white Witch there, who oppresses the people and magically creates an everlasting winter”. So I guess that’s us? Yasser Arafat seemed to better suit the role (and he got very rich from it).
Someone asked Daniel Pipes about the relationship of Arafat and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and he replied:
“From the forthcoming study, Icon of Evil, by David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann: “Arafat’s mother was the daughter of the mufti’s first cousin.” By my reckoning, they are first cousins, twice removed. The two first met at a family gathering in Cairo in 1946, at which time al-Husseini took on the role of ARAFAT’S MENTOR.”
Carol the 1st says
Looks like the Grand Mufti now had a new protege to entertain him and replace Hitler and the SS.
Rarely says
It seems that there was nothing for the police to do other than waste time trying to track down some cyclists who were off the approved path and ticket them. Big deal. What else did they do that was illegal?
Every time a group starts chanting something I disagree with I have to understand that it is what we call “Freedom of Speech”. Otherwise I’d go crazy.
Hari Singh says
The Muslims control Speaker’s Corner” thru threats of violence and shouting down speakers, especially Christian speakers.The Dhimmi police force does nothing to protect free speech, why should they, they are the same people who arrested Tommy Robinson.
Chanting “From the river to the sea” is saying “wipe all Jews off the map.” It’s codeword for kill all Jews. It’s the third Phase Anti-Semetic rationalization;
First Era Anti Semitism “From the river to the sea” is saying “wipe all Jews off the map.” It’s codeword for kill all Jews Jews are bad because of their religion-they killed christ.[the Apostles Creed say Pontius Pilate]
Second Era Anti Semitism-the Jews are a pernicious race, a poison to society and will never stop their evil.
Third Era Anti Semitism Jews think they are a people and have a right to self-determination, so their nation state must be destroyed with them in it, Allah and his prophet mandate the destruction of the Jews.
In all phases anti-semitism is international.
Goal of all phases Destroy the Jews

The Big Ride, Palestine: Jew-Hating Bikers At Speakers’ Corner
……………….
Useful idiots at best; advocates of Jewish genocide at worst. *Ugh*.
IanB says
London is home to thousands of young, white, middle-class Guardian reading leftards with no capability for critical thinking but only for bleating PC propaganda. They have been brainwashed as such in school, college, university and in many cases also by Common Purpose. Fortunately, many young people of greater intelligence and gumption have a greater awareness of political realities and have escaped the mind and soul destroying neo-Marxist indoctrination.
62 years ago my father took me to Speakers Corner to demonstrate to me the value of free speech. He would be appalled by this latest incident as am I.
Brother Charles says
ORGANISED , ?
No police around ,
cyclist in no cycle zones ,
all wearing same uniform,
