Keir Starmer, who is still Prime Minister, who was once a human rights lawyer, has opined that some marches, ones that he does not like, may need to be banned. Its not exactly a new thing for a Labour Government to do but it is unusual.
The best way to react of course is to join a march.
I joined the Cardiff TUC May Day rally and march on Saturday. It was well attended with a range of union and campaign banners. Since internationalism is a key focus of the labour movement Palestine was evident in respect of banners and speeches. Starmer will be relieved that I didn’t hear any phrases spoken that he does not like.
The march was led off by a brass band and the weather was fine. Its election time but while the left was present, the CP, SP and SWP, there was no official sign of Labour, Plaid or the Greens although of course individual members may have been present.
Keepin on Keepin on with protests is the best way to deal with Starmer’s latest authoritarian lurch.
