LBC host takes aim at anyone at pro-Palestine march with brutal two words

LBC presenter Shelagh Fogarty had a harsh two-word response to anyone involved in pro-Palestine marches after the attack on a Manchester synagogue yesterday (October 2). The radio presenter was taking a call about the "juvenile" behaviour of protesters who have been blocking train stations up and down the country to get their message across.

But with two brutal words, she told them to "grow up". Shelagh said: "What I've seen is a lot of almost juvenile, teenage foot-stamping type of behaviour. The people who are in Liverpool Street Station or up in Waverley Station in Edinburgh yesterday, out they come for their big jamboree, they get their big flags out and go out shouting anti-Israel slogans again, getting in the way of people going about their business, and they love it!

"They love their chants, they love to shout, 'Free, free Palestine', they love to shout 'From the river to the sea', they love to shout, 'Globalise the Intifada', they love to wear their keffiyeh, they love to cover their faces."

She went on: "And I just think, grow up! Grow up. They act as though they're the only people who care about the Gazans. Where have you been in the last week and a half, or weeks since we've had the ceasefire deal put on the table?"

Her caller echoed: "Shelagh, it's ignorance... They might not be anti-Semites, I'm not saying they're all anti-Semites, but it's ignorance."

Pre-organised protests went ahead in Manchester yesterday just hours after the terror attack on the Jewish community, at the city's Piccadilly Station - around three miles away from the scene of the attack in Crumpsall.

Protesters also gathered in London outside Downing Street following a protest in Parliament Square.
