Woman shouts 'this is a terrorist flag' at three men with Palestinian flag in Bakerloo Station

A woman was filmed shouting at pro-Palestine protesters holding a Palestinian flag. In the shocking video filmed at Bakerloo Station yesterday (October 15) the woman repeatedly shouts ‘terrorist, this is a terrorist flag’ at the man holding a Palestine flag, before yelling ‘Pakistan’.

She was corrected by other travellers who told her that Pakistan’s and Palestine’s flags are completely different. The Palestine flag is of vertical black, white and green stripes, with a red chevron on the left, while Pakistan’s flag is dark green white a white crescent moon and star on it.

The woman also appears to hit the man with her bag but then accuses one of the men of "touching" her, which is contested by the person filming the incident. The video came on the same day that thousands of pro-Palestine protesters took to the streets of London, beginning at the BBC's Marylebone headquarters, before making their way down Whitehall to the gates of Downing Street.

Seven arrests were made with over 1,000 officers deployed. The protest was in light of the ‘dire’ situation in Gaza which risks being 'pushed into abyss', despite Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying the ‘targeted’ airstrikes being ‘only the beginning’.

There has been shocking violence in the Middle East over the last week after Hamas raided Israel and Israeli homes, killing 1,300 and wounding 3,000. Israel’s response killed 1,900 Palestinians, and injured over 7,700.

As Israel prepares itself for a ground offensive, it has told 1.1million Gazans to evacuate to the south. The BBC reports that the evacuation would require 18,334 60-seater coaches.

There are three exits out of Gaza, the Erez crossing in the north, the Kerem Shalom goods crossing in the south-east, and the Rafah crossing to Egypt, in the south.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

-

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
