Not what I expected to see in Whitechapel this morning

We went to Whitechapel for a look round today for something I am working on that might be an article in the days to come.

We could see people, obvious Muslims and the borgoise yoghurt knitting useful idiots who have been entranced by numerous left wing groups, all masterminded by Socialist Worker (other than The Communist League who we saw in Trafalgar Square last week supporting Israel and Ukraine’s right to independent and existence) making their way and gathering in Altab Ali Park. Altab Ali Park is really the churchyard of St Mary Matfelon, the ancient Parish from which the white walled 14th century church gave the hamlet of Whitechapel its name. The church wasn’t rebuilt after it was destroyed by enemy action in 1940. The park was renamed in the 1970s.

Now I am home I looked up the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign to find that this  week Jihaderday is to be a day of “local action”. There doesn’t seem to be much exchange of information betwwen the various groups. The group I observed mustering (London – East)were intending to march east up Whitechapel High Street to Mile End. The  London – Hackney group were expected to muster 45 minutes earlier at Hackney Town Hall ready to march to the branch of Barclays Bank in Whitechapel.  If they all left on time I expect they met, merged and then parted again at the crossroads with Cambridge Heath Road and Sidney Street. If you take the high road and I take the low road….

I wasn’t inclind to watch them march or rant so we started to make our way back to the station.

Coming towards us was the contingent from Neturei Karta.  I think our valued reader and commentator Paul Martin Freeman is on to something when he says that there are no women in the sect;  “New members magically appear out of their hats fully formed … It’s quite something to behold!” They pop out small – then grow a little each year until they are allocated their own hat and beard.
