Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
Those two missing camera films should contain the start of the violent interaction. What we are left with shows one of the security guards running towards the protestors carrying a hammer and a whip. And we have the physical evidence where the injury on the face of one of the protestors appears to have been made by a hammer. The same protestor has a large round bruise on his torso from a blow from a sledge hammer. Which when we next see that same security guard, on the videos made available, he is carrying.
How this fracas started is vitally important for the UK's government proscription of the group. They are desperate to portray the protestors as having violent intent. However the same group made a number of attacks on the manufacturing of arms and other materials destined for Israel's genocidal army but to this point never hurt anyone.
What the missing footage likely shows is that the protestors where violently assaulted by the guards and by the police that subsequently arrived and that they had a fight or flight reaction.
They have made it worse and worse by doubling down each time they get blocked punishing OAPs for wearing a T Shirt supporting the group. Its now got to the stage multiple senior members of the sitting government need to resign over this, not just the PM if they can't make this stick.
