It's worth stating that historically these right-wing culture protests have been a bit more violent in nature than most protests are. I'm not suggesting that everyone in the protest is violent, but there's enough mob mentality that makes me (someone who lives in London) uncomfortable.

Sure, but there's a difference between surveillance after a crime vs before.

    Depends how you interpret "aligned with" and "Islam". They "left" has formed alliances with Islamist extremists so i think the "aligned with" bit is accurate. The "Islam" is inaccurate and conflates Islamism with Islam. Most British Muslims are not extremist nutcases, and there are plenty on the "right" too - numerous Conservatives, some in Reform (e.g. Zia Yusuf), etc.

        > 46% of British Muslims openly admit support for Hamas Your link says 25% hold a favourable view of Hamas. This is lower than the percentage that have an unfavourable view. As your link says "substantial minorities holding views directly hostile to the liberal democratic order" which confirms my claim that most British Muslims do not. "with younger British Muslims more radical than their parents rather than less" Which IMO is a problem - and a direct result of multiple bad policies. That entire article is heavily biased. For example: "British Hindus and Sikhs rank among the most economically successful and socially integrated minorities in the country. Polling consistently shows low antisemitism, near-zero sympathy for Islamic extremism" Hindus and Sikhs are have no sympathy of Islamic extremism? How astonishing! it is full of unfounded claims and assumptions too: "Parallel social structures have emerged in cities and towns across the country, with Sharia councils operating outside the British legal system". That is nonsense. You might as well accuse Jews and Catholics of the same: e.g. through operating their own marriage tribunals. "The Pew Research Forum’s mid-range projection has the Muslim share of the British population reaching 17.2 percent by 2050 under continued high-migration assumptions." So they get 17.2% under an extreme set of assumptions.
