Trolling street protesters is good fun. Walking up the street and the Revolutionary Communist Party have set up a stand. One of the members calls out to me and my girlfriend, "hey guys, are you interested in communism?"

I shout back "absolutely not!" without breaking stride. Even he laughed at that.

A few hours later we go to McDonald's. When we're leaving, a bunch of pro-Palestine protesters wearing ghoulish costumes have congregated outside, shaming all the people who enter or exit in light of McDonald's support for Israel (?). One of them calls out to us "you don't have to do this again!" I replied "but I will!"

Some of them can be quite funny. A bearded guy, niqabi wife in to, had some kind of breakdown on the street in front of me yesterday and started shouting at random shoppers. “FORTY THREE THOUSAND DEAD AND YOU’RE SHOPPING”, he screamed several times, as if concern for Gaza should make buying clothes or groceries impossible, then his wife tapped him on the arm and he recomposed himself.

In your case the protestors may well have been communists. We have them too, but they hold their rallies relatively infrequently. It’s more Muslim people who have PDS.
