“…. Hezbollah T-Shirts, Nasrallah T-Shirts, Khomeini T-Shirts. These people marched proudly through the streets of London. Someone had a placard that read ‘ We are all Hezbollah’. … Support for radical Islamic extremists. Maybe 350 people in total, maybe slightly more. The demographic was clearly one sided.
