The extent to which protests against the Ukraine war haven't happened in the UK has been quite surprising, considering that the UK has no obvious interests in the Ukraine and that country is not a member of NATO.
Yet our current crop of weasel-worded politicians of all major parties, who haven't even made a show of trying to negotiate a peace deal, have supported piling in with £billions munitions howitzers missiles "training" and tanks - all in the name of defending "freedom" from "mad bad Vlad" despite the fact he poses no obvious threat to the UK.
But maybe we can see the first stirrings of serious dissent appearing - welcome dissent if it opens up the real arguments on both sides of the issue to public debate.
So kudos to Rebel News for covering this event, and nul points to the intrepid unbiased BBC et al who were conspicuous by their absence.
This devastating proxy war could spark a nuclear conflict, and UK support for it is ever more likely to prompt Russian retaliation against us without having any appreciable effect on the outcome.
To say nothing of what our taxes are really funding in one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.
This debate is most certainly not a trivial matter that can be safely ignored, even if that is the most earnest wish of our government.
