Continuing pro-Palestine protests were branded ‘dishonourable’ by the Home Secretary today following the Manchester synagogue terror attack.
Shabana Mahmood also said she was ‘very disappointed’ by the ‘un-British’ demonstrations which took place last night in the wake of the attacks.
The Metropolitan Police said a protest from Defend Our Juries in Trafalgar Square in London tomorrow should not go ahead – but the group vowed to still hold it.
Another march by the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign is scheduled for October 11 and is expected to end outside the gates of Downing Street.
Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said there were no powers at present for the Government or police to bar a protest.
He told BBC Radio 4 that he was against a ‘general override’ to ban a march or protest based on ‘vague interests of national security’, but added that there could be a case for a ban if the counter-terrorist burden on the police is ‘so great’.
But what do you think – should the Government ban planned pro-Palestine marches in the wake of the attack? Vote in the Daily Mail’s latest poll below.
In yesterday’s poll, Daily Mail readers were asked: ‘Is Britain doing enough to protect its Jewish population?’ Out of 22,000 votes, 90 per cent said ‘no’ and 10 per cent said ‘yes’.
