By Andrew Hough, and Andy Bloxham 02 Sep 2011
Up to 30 pro-Palestinian demonstrators were ejected from the Royal Albert Hall after attempting to drown out the orchestra. They shouted anti-Israel statements throughout the concert, leading to clashes with members of the audience who wanted to hear the music. Witnesses reported seeing a fight break out.
Different groups of protesters stood up to chant at the start of each of the four pieces of the evening, meaning that fresh people had to be ejected each time. Radio 3 broadcast the first piece, which lasted about seven minutes, including the protests.
When the protesters started again at the start of the second, the broadcast was halted and a recording of a different orchestra playing the same music was played instead.

Classic Alinsky. By chance were these muzzies ‘community organized’ in south Chicago by a man named Hussein?
AGREED
The same tactics as the nazi brown shirts—disrupt everything and prevent any opposing view
from being heard.
uh that was the 1972 Munich Olympics. The 1968 Olympics were in Mexico City.

How quickly we forget.
Now they know how many a-holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
