NCP leader Andy Brooks joined demonstrators in Whitehall demanding an end to British military aid to the fascist regime in Kiev last weekend while Scottish anti-fascists made similar demands in a protest in the heart of Glasgow.
The pickets were organised by the International Ukraine Anti-Fascist Solidarity campaign to call for an end to British arms supplies to the illegitimate Zelensky regime in Kiev and against British demands for Storm Shadow missile strikes deep into Russia.
The London protest opposite the Prime Minister’s official residence in Downing Street came under sustained abuse from two Zelensky supporters for almost an hour. One of them, who said he was Portuguese, said he visited Kiev last month where he has friends but didn’t see a single Nazi, then he claimed to be an anarchist. They were crazed fanatics, just like the Zionists who attack the pro-Palestinian marchers. But many passers-by came to give us support including the maverick campaigner Piers Corbyn, the brother of the former Labour leader, who then joined the picket along with his friends who had just left a local Palestine solidarity event.
The world is now facing the possibility of two major regional wars: one in Europe, a possible Russia-NATO nuclear war, and another which could engulf the entire Middle East as a result of Israel’s relentless aggression. Both Ukraine and Israel have the support of Britain and the United States, who have designed the enemies of Ukraine and Israel “terrorists”.
Both of these are result of years of aggression and expansion by NATO member states, through their puppet government and Nazi battalions in Ukraine, and through Israel, the war machine they have armed and financed in the heart of the Arab world.
The British government and ‘free’ media have not told people in Britain that Storm Shadow missile strikes from Ukraine have to be programmed by British military personnel on the ground in Ukraine, making British armed forces de facto at war with Russia. They have not told people in Britain that the only thing stopping Britain from the madness of “going it alone” with missile strikes on Russia is that they need permission from the Americans, who control the satellite data and software used by Storm Shadow missile.
Every day we hear condemnation of alleged civilian victims of Russian attacks in Ukraine, but for ten years we’ve heard nothing about civilians being killed in Eastern Ukraine by Ukrainian forces.
Britain and the USA have refused to officially condemn the genocide against civilians in Gaza, and for ten years have almost completely ignored the thousands of victims, of the bombing, starvation and disease in Yemen. Now they are silent about the deaths of hundreds of civilians in Lebanon and have declared the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah a success against “terrorism”. But there have been to open doors and red carpet welcomes for Palestinian or Yemeni refugees!
