100,000 join the 34th central London march for Palestine. The resilience of protest

In Uncategorized on February 2, 2026 by kmflett

100,000 people marched in central London for Palestine on Saturday 31st January. It was the 34th march since October 2023.

On the same day despite a ceasefire allegedly being in force Israeli forces killed 32 Palestinians something they presumably regard as a business as usual activity.

There have been bigger marches for Palestine and while size is important the key thing is that the protests have continued.

The Labour Government would very much prefer that they did not and have done a range of things short of an absolute ban to deter them. That includes re-routing marches, banning words and image which are not liked and any number of petty restrictions imposed by the Metropolitan Police.

The resilience of protesters and protest organisers is likely to be unprecedented in recent British history. I’m currently researching that point so its a work in progress as is protesting in support of the Palestinians

    It seems it’s no longer possible to simply ‘like’ your blogs. When I try I get a message telling me the link has expired, as with this one, a mere hour after you posted it. ???
