The Met Police are facing accusations of double standards after arresting a man in London for calling Hamas terrorists, while failing to intervene when nearby protesters celebrated Houthi terror attacks in the Red Sea. The Mail has more.
As thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators marched through the capital, a counter-protester carrying a “Hamas is Terrorist” banner was wrestled to the ground by four Met officers and handcuffed.
Shocking footage showed one of the arresting officers ripping the sign out of the Iranian man’s hands and screwing it up.
As he was held down, Niyak Ghorbani, 38, shouted: “Shame on you… I wrote down Hamas is a terrorist organisation… but they arrested me.”
Last night, IT professional Mr. Ghorbani, an exiled Iranian, told the Mail on Sunday: “I think the police are totally wrong. It is a total double standard. It is one rule for the Palestinian protesters and another for me. It is hypocrisy.”
Onlookers criticised the heavy-handed treatment of Mr. Ghorbani compared to the softly-softly approach towards those glorifying Houthi terror attacks on British ships.
A man with a megaphone repeatedly screamed, “Yemen, Yemen, do us proud” while a crowd chanted in response, “Turn another ship around.”
Last week, three sailors were killed on their ship by missiles launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen. The Houthis say the attacks are in support of the Palestinians.
Tory MP Sir Iain Duncan Smith last night reacted to Mr. Ghorbani’s treatment by saying: “I will be demanding a full inquiry with a public apology from the police. This Iranian man has done nothing wrong at all.”

Plod are basically out of control and are effectively making up the law as they see fit. This cannot continue. Yesterday also saw the arrest of Tommy Robinson for having the nerve to be out celebrating his twelve year old daughter’s birthday – vid posted earlier by Mogwai.
Once again if No10 wanted to stop this it could but clearly the Hindu poodle is under orders to allow these actions. Fishy is very much a guilty party in all this.
A single man peacefully displaying a poster which simply confirms government protocols on Hamas is breaking the law how exactly? And the terrorist sympathisers who attack this brave young man and attempt to do him injury are not even cautioned let alone arrested. Britain’s finest eh?
But if the intention is to stimulate unrest and mistrust in institutions, all going as planned it seems.
Absolutely.
“Hindu poodle”!! PMSL…..
Actually, due to the amount of footage of this incident posted online it was easy enough for people to identify the nutter that instigated the assault on Niyak. Bet he wishes he’d worn his tea towel now. His mate seems to have also been identified in the comments section;
”Abdul Madi an employee of Pinnacle Wealth is allegedly the person seen assaulting @GhorbaniiNiyak
in London yesterday.
His profile has been taken down from his company’s site.”

In past times when decency and standards of behaviour mattered this Madi thug would be in receipt of the wagging finger on his next day at work. In today’s climate of course it is a raging certainty that he will have his race card polished and ready to go as soon as he hears his boss announce…
“Madi, I’d like a word. In my office.”
You cannot polish a turd. Madi in a suit is still a third world islamist conducting himself as a, well, as a third world islamist in Londonistan.
Ticket back.
“it was easy enough for people to identify the nutter that instigated the assault on Niyak.”
I look forward to the Met announcing that a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
This is what we need more of for these entitled scummy crims who think they’re above the law. Justice served Indian style. Pretty sure there’d be a lot less shoplifting if staff fought back and had zero tolerance, like this guy;

Terrific post Mogs. That will be one “converted” shoplifter.
Wonderful! All piss and vinegar until the whupping starts, then he suddenly cares. I’m glad he capitulates and then got several more licks just to drive home the point. Nobody else is likely to try that place.
I think it was a proportionate (and funny) response, but concerned if Plod try to prosecute the shopkeepers, which would be a travesty. A fine line between chastisement and ABH.
Yep, don’t mess with Mr Singh!
I like how the guy behind the counter was warning them against it then did a full 180. 
Well what do these scumbags expect will happen? Shopkeepers going to just sit back and watch their goods be leisurely stolen in the time it takes for the police to show up? I’m all for being proactive and sending a message that’s more effective than a few hours spent in a cell.

‘facing accusations of double standards’ ?
Eh?
We’re long past that.
An Islamist mayor who heads a wokist police stasi.
Allo allo allo.
What’s appenin ere.
We ave to be politicly crrect young fella mi lad.
That means allowin the baddies to ave their say.
An we can’t be seen to be opposin em!
So please allow us to put these cuffs on.
And ere’s the back of our nice van.
…
Oh what he’s a foreign who recognises police brutality? Oops, come on lads we’ve messed this one up
Nuffin to see ere, move along, move along!
Appalling double standards by the utterly woke and useless Plod.
Recall their response to anti-lockdown protests and the vigil, for Sarah Everard – wading in, batons flailing.
Say something nasty on social media, or make some stickers the elite don’t like and they’ll be down on you like a ton of bricks.
Anti-Semitic marches? OK
Been burgled? Tough luck.
Muslim grooming gangs? Nothing to see here.
I despair.
Spot on. Criticise a mentally ill retard tranny and off to Belmarsh. Rape a dozen white girls…nothing. Support Muslim terrorists publicly, or wave your bait and tackle at the no pride low IQ parade…nothing. Protest against Muzz terror or the Rona fascism, off to prison esp if you are white.
No wonder, really…..
The Mayor of London was given a direct mandate for policing in London in 2011, as part of the Police and Social Responsibility Act. As such, the Mayor is responsible for setting the strategic direction of policing in London through the Police and Crime Plan.
A number of powers are devolved to MOPAC, which is led by the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Sophie Linden. This includes the delivery of efficient and effective Met policing, management of resources and expenditure (MOPAC is the functional body of the Greater London Assembly that sets the policing budget, holds the Commissioner to account and in partnership discusses progress against the Police & Crime Plan, assesses the strategic budget position and key risks to delivery).
The new London Policing Board, is a new element to the Met’s governance structures.
The London Assembly also has a role in providing the formal check and balance on policing in London. The assembly’s Police and Crime Committee is charged with examining the work of MOPAC and matters of policing interest in London, and in doing so publicly scrutinises the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime on a regular basis, alongside the Commissioner.
Post consultation with the Commissioner, the Deputy Mayor recommends to the Mayor an annual policing budget for the Met.
Linden’s entire career has been spent in politics. From 1992 to 1997, she was a researcher for David Blunkett MP. Following the Labour victory at the 1997 general election, she became a Special Adviser to Blunkett when he was Secretary of State for Education and Employment. She was in the role from 1997 to 2001, following Blunkett as Special Adviser when he was appointed Home Secretary.
Linden moved to become a Labour councillor within the London Borough of Hackney, for the Dalston Ward, from 4 May 2006 to 10 June 2016. During this period, she worked for Bell Pottinger political communications, and unsuccessfully sought selection as Labour’s Prospective parliamentary candidate for Hampstead and Kilburn prior to the 2015 general election.
In 2016, she was appointed by the new Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, to be the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime.
‘When William was our king declared
To ease the nation’s grievance,
With this new wind about I steered,
And swore to him allegiance;
Old principles I did revoke,
Set conscience at a distance;
Passive obedience was a joke,
A jest was non-resistance.
And this is law, I will maintain,
Until my dying day, Sir,
That whatsoever king shall reign,
I’ll be the Vicar of Bray, Sir.’
Good work. Thanks.
Gotta love the wording of this: A man was arrested and, after CCTV footage had been reviewed, de-arrested as if this would somehow neutralize the original event.
Our polices are cowards and a disgrace.
These latest shenanigans are adding to the feeling of a steady growing seething anger in the ,as yet, silent majority of the British public that’s only just under the surface! This feeling applies to most of the downtrodden western populations who are quite rightly feeling ignored.
History shows us these bottled up emotions lead to public unrest, Tptb will reap what they have sowed!
O/T How has Khan avoided criticism for the Forest Gate police station fire?
It was a new building, under 20 years old I would guess. Did it not have fire detection or sprinklers?
Khan is not only responsible for the police but also the fire brigade.
