In the scorching heat of Birmingham, the green spaces of Sparkhill Park were transformed into a stage for one of the most pointed protests yet against the UK government's stance on Gaza.
As with all Palestine Solidarity demonstrations, chants of "Free Palestine" rang through the crowd here. What started as a protest for justice in Gaza and Palestine has evolved into a broader call for political renewal across the UK.
Organized by the activist independent movement, the march brought together anti-Zionist figures, artists, and, activists, declaring that those in power don't represent them.
We have a Prime Minister who, on open, live TV, said that Palestinians should be starved of water, electricity and food, and then just put that down the under the carpet. This is a show of strength. This is a show of defiance.

As public dissatisfaction with the main political party spirals, more people are turning to new parties that are positioning themselves as genuine alternatives.
On Palestinian Liberation, the Workers Party of Britain has introduced this solution.
I'm forming a one state Palestine campaign, and I invite everyone to join it. I have fought for the liberation of Palestine for 50 years, half a century, not for a Bantustan, not for a local authority in Palestine, but for Palestine to be free from the river to the sea; one state where Muslims, Christians and Jews live as equal citizens, one with the other.
George Galloway, Politician (more...)
