I completely disagree. (As for Suella, she can do one, btw.) I disagree that "protests don't work". People should get up off their asses, and off social media (bar the filming and uploading!) A LOT MORE OFTEN. If nothing else, it is beneficial for their health, and certainly for their sense of social connection, having a day's march with like-minded people.
It depends by what you mean by "work". If you mean that goverment would change its policy: well, there were even bigger anti-war marches in 2003, and it didn't: but this just proves to you, the LONGstanding degree of out-of-touchness of the political class! The PEOPLE didn't want that war: but Bliar went ahead with it for his own interests. The whole debacle exposed Blair as a war criminal. That was the importance of it.
The VAST majority of UK people don't support Israel. The political class might, but they are wrong and out of touch. They should make like Ireland and Scotland: voice disapproval and start thinking about expelling the ambassador.
I don't know why you are going on about "mass debate" Professor: because this is a "representative" democracy (ha ha) and therefore that is the one thing that voters cannot do. Next best thing: demonstrations. (And seeing as the stupid Tories don't even have room for rapists in their prisons, I wouldn't worry too hard that people are going to be banged up for waving Palestinan flags, whatever Suella says.)
