British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, in a recent speech, warned of the dangers posed by Islamist and far-right 'extremists' to British democracy, urging police to adopt a tougher stance on protests since the Israel-Hamas war. This speech comes in the wake of George Galloway's victory in the Rochdale by-election, which Sunak described as 'alarming'. Galloway, known for his pro-Palestinian stance and stating 'I despise the Prime Minister', hit back at Sunak, criticizing the Prime Minister's approach and questioning the government's support for Israel amidst ongoing Gaza protests. Sunak's comments have sparked a wide range of reactions, from support for his call to protect democracy to criticisms of his attempt to silence dissent and intimidate Muslim communities and their allies. Amidst this, pro-Palestine protests continue across England and Wales, with demonstrators voicing their opposition to Sunak's remarks and demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, supported by 66% of the British public.
