UK: Huge crowds of Muslims defy lockdowns to celebrate Pakistan Independence Day, attack police

Aug 19, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

This is yet another indication of the fact that all over the West, police and other authorities have become slaves to identity politics, fearing above all things being called “racist” and “Islamophobic.”

In Manchester, the Independence Day Parade was organized by the Consulate General of Pakistan, who has no regard for British law. Meanwhile, in the face of all this, Boris Johnson appears to be in hiding.

Non-Muslim Britons are expected to obey UK rules and laws, while Muslims disobey British laws and lockdown measures without suffering any consequences at all.

“UK: Huge Crowds Ignore Lockdowns to Celebrate Pakistan Independence Day, Attack Police,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, August 17, 2020:

Huge crowds defied lockdowns and attacked police officers to celebrate Pakistan Independence Day on English streets on Friday and Saturday.

Deputy Chief Constable Ian Pilling, of Greater Manchester Police (GMP), said the behaviour of the revellers was “beyond comprehension”, adding: “I can honestly say that, in 30 years of policing, I have never seen anything quite as outrageous as this behaviour.”

Viral videos of illegal street party’s in city’s famous ‘Curry Mile’ — named for the many South Asian restaurants it hosts — shows closely-packed, largely maskless and male-dominated crowds climbing on cars and street fixtures, dancing to traditional instruments and waving Pakistani flags.

There is also footage of crowds surrounding police constables attempting to bring the situation under control, jostling officers and jeering “f*** the police” and ultimately driving them off the street.

“The last thing we need is large gatherings such as this, as well as unacceptable attacks on officers attending the scene,” said Deputy Chief Constable Pilling, likely referring to the fact that Manchester has been put into a local lockdown by the central government due to its disproportionate rate of coronavirus infections.

“People behaving in this way are contributing to an already difficult situation,” Pilling added.

Such illegal celebrations were not just confined to areas of Manchester, however, with the Evening Standard sharing footage of a large gathering in Sadiq Khan’s London.

“I am fed up of people who think social distancing and wearing face coverings do not apply to them when it’s something they want to do,” commented a frustrated Kam Rai, deputy leader of the local council, which had pleaded with people to mark the event at home….

    Well if many of these people contract the COVID-19 virus they should be denied NHS resources as they brought this on their own heads by breaking the law by meeting as they did. Why should decent law abiding taxpayers pay for their criminal idiocy. Send them all back to Pakistan

      Many people who need cancer treatment are on hold until this virus is under control. This behaviour is delaying that time. These bloody Pakis should be told to disperse or be shot. We had the Riot Act once .I wonder what happened to it.

      Yes and they should be deported to their islamic countries. I don´t like muslims in our streets

    We need only respond with “Nonislamophobia” every time they say “Islamophobia”. That will shut them up – for they fear us revealing their dirty little secrets:
    World Domination,
    Dhimmi,
    Hijra,
    Murder,
    Rape,
    Robbery,
    Slavery,
    and on and on and on….

    As much as I love Jihad Watch, and as much as I wish I could afford to donate more frequently (I support many different sites) I have to object to the notion that UK government somehow fears being called “racist”. This is the same UK government that had no problem deporting Black Caribbean people from the so called Winrush generation who had been in the UK for 50-years and more. And in virtually every European country you will find that a disproportionate number of Black people in prisons and jails. Germany most recently refused to pay reparations to Namibia where they did a dry run for the Holocaust. Yet the same German government spends billions on illegal and undocumented people from Syria, Iraq, etc. The fear of being called “racist” canard has to stop. These countries are virtue signalling by trying to feign racial tolerance while they participate in bombing the countries of the very people they allegedly “fear” being called racist for. They bombed and destroyed Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc. If they were afraid of being called racist they would not participate in bombing and destroying the countries of origins of the very people they allegedly fear being called racist for.

      Nonetheless, opposing Jihad terror really *is* so often falsely characterized as “racist”.

    • Jayell says

      As I understand it, the problem with the ‘Windrush’ people was that a lot of them didn’t formally apply for permanent residency/naturalisation (or whatever the correct term is) where necessary, and therefore remained liable to deportation in various circumstances. The fault was therefore with them or their advisers. The British Government was consequently not being ‘racist’ in removing some of these people in certain situations but was just following correct procedures. T

      he other point in question is the reality of the much vaunted ‘contribution’ that the ‘Windrush Generation’ made to the life of the UK, and opinion here differs widely according to whether you’re hearing the current official politically-correct Establishment line or reports from people on the ground at the time who actually had to work in the situation. Court reports that I recall appearing in newspapers of the period, which frequently ended with references to the culprit being ‘recommended for deportation’, clearly didn’t paint such a rosy picture of the situation, and current crime statistics.in London alone suggest that things actually haven’t improved at all.

    What the hell is there to celebrate about Pakistan? Really, anyone, name some achievements (N.B., borrowing or stealing nuclear secrets from the West doesn’t count nor does duping Western nations to send aid to this pathetic excuse for a nation). Yes, I mean REAL achievements.

      Exactly. If Pakistan is so great why do none of these Muslims want to live there.

    “No arrests were made except that for an observer of the celebration because he tweeted – I didn’t think Muslims were allowed to drink. He was charged with failure to let Muslims do whatever the hell they want” Didn’t happen but it’s not unrealistic.

      Because Pakistan is a sh%thole country.They come here to live off our welfare and produce more children for the future take over.Its just a matter if time now.Future British governments can only ‘manage’ the takeover as peacefully as possible.Its all about ‘keeping the electorate’ in the dark untill its too late.Cowards the lot of them.

    In Manchester they fined the organiser of a back garden party £100 for breaking Covid 19 rules, £100 is a an insult to the rest of us.
    Will they fine the organiser of this event? No, Muslims as per sharia law get preferential treatment.

  14. Idol and Icon says

    This is typical of the Muslim community in Britain, animalistic behaviour, flouting the law, ignorant ranting, etc. etc. I myself have had to call the police a number of times because of Muslims defying social distancing, attempting to gather round a barbeque, yelling, shouting, and kissing each other. God they are vile. Absolutely nauseating.

    Fellow Americans this is coming to a neighborhood near you through our open border policies. Our liberal politicians are sucking at the tit of middle eastern muslim/islamic leaders. You simply can not allow your enemies to enter your country and live among you and expect to survive. Islam is the enemy of free people and Christians, NEVER forget that fact.

    This “celebration” is nothing but an assertion of their islamic supremacy. There is nothing to celebrate about
