I recently listened to a briefing by Deputy Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor from the Metropolitan police that took place remotely.
He said that people in London were very anxious after the Hamas attack in Israel last Saturday.
Because of this, he stated that the police had implemented a very important plan to help and protect neighborhoods throughout the city.
Over 1000 officers have been assigned to this job.
The police office, called the Met, says that a lot of people are going to be at the protests in support of Palestine in London tomorrow.
Taylor said that while people can protest, they can’t encourage or cause violence.
He said that the law is very clear about flags and banners. Anyone who waves a flag supporting Hamas or other banned groups will be arrested.
He said if someone has or holds a Palestinian flag alone, it is not against the law. However, if they do other things along with it, they might be breaking the law.
