And then we say, look, these things happened, and we're met with, prove it. We point to reports in the Daily Fail and GB News, to be told that these are biassed rags and may be discounted as probably making the whole thing up. We point to eyewitness accounts on Twitter and other social media, and we're asked how we know all these people all describing the same thing (often with video) aren't making it all up. It's a "tweety" and it's a deliberate lie, of course.
Only if it's reported by the trans-cult's pet outlets will the blindly loyal trans supporters even consider for one second that it might actually be true, but these outlets will not report it.
I am prepared to accept that media such as the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, the Telegraph and GB news have a right wing bias when it comes to opinions, to commentary, in their editorial slant, and in their selection of which stories to cover or publish. However, I am NOT prepared to accept that such bias invalidates their reliability when it comes to verifiable facts they publish, e.g., actual verifiable video footage, actual verifiable photographs and actual verifiable Police statements.
In the case in point, the Police reported they arrested three people.
Meanwhile, a counter-protest organised by Trans Kids Deserve Better was held in Victoria Embankment Gardens. Three individuals have since been arrested, one on suspicion of criminal damage and two others for breaching Public Order Act conditions put in place by the Met Police.
... The
Metropolitan Police are name-checked here (for the benefit of
@Thermal that is the London Police and NOT the Edinburgh police, who are known as
Police Scotland). If any of this was untrue, the Metropolitan Police would call out GB News for giving false information, and their left wing rivals over at the Guardian or the BBC would jump at the chance to tell the world what liars
'tHoSe DeSpIcAbLe RiGhT wInG rAgS' are.
Additionally, refuting a claim about the factuality of a right wing source is NOT, repeat NOT achieved by demanding authentication from an obvious left wing source. In this case, independent sources such as photographs from unbiased photo-journalists
*1, and actual video of the arrests taking place was more than enough to verify the source as accurate
*1 For those who don't know (and that will be most reading this) it is a very serious breach of professional ethics for a photojournalist to intentionally misrepresent or mis-caption the content and subject of a photograph they have taken. Its is even worse if they subsequently have it published with a false caption or citation, or if they register it with an image licensor such as Alamy, Getty Images or Newscom.
Doing so will almost certanly end their ability to register image content and licence to others.
