      Are you asking how protest works in general? The place doesn’t matter much. Do you want them to protest in gaza? They can’t go there

      Good question, popular opinion demonstrated against Apartheid and collective punishment gets democratic governments to enforce sanctions, and put economic pressure on the violating country. This is how south african apartheid ended, through slow economic and sanction pressure.

      With a lot of effort, we can hope to make London as bad as Gaza?

          Nope, just keep bringing in another 500K-600K per year, of illegal immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries, and they’ll take care of it…
