Apart from Starmer, other Labour front-benchers plus Rayner turned up. The Home Secretary was there and looked absolutely unphased. Remember, in her address yesterday, she never mentioned antisemitism.
Not only was yesterday evil stuff, it was an indictment of the government that has failed to deal with antisemitism in a definitive way. Stopping any marches that fuel antisemitism; educating whities on these demos who wear the Palestinian shawl but have absolutely no sense of history or proportion or an understanding of how they stoke antisemitism.
Will the government's focus still be on a definition of the word "Islamophobia"? As far as I am concerned there is no Islamophobia.

I’ll begin by stating that yesterday was horrific evil scenes (because it would appear that to some if you don’t explicitly state this you’re supporting the action)
I think your thinking regarding Islamophobia is way off. From what I could find there were 6000 reported incidents of Islamophobia reported in 2024 vs iirc 3800 (ish) reported incidents of antisemitism
To suggest Islamophobia isn’t an issue with Islamophobia is ridiculous but alas completely expected from you.
