Campaign Against Antisemitism
These protests in Jewish communities just before or during the Sabbath (apparently this is the only time that these groups want to protest) should never have been allowed in the first place. After a period in which the Swiss Cottage protests were stopped, last week the Met inexplicably decided to allow another one. Pressure from CAA and others should not have been necessary before the @MetPoliceUK reimposed conditions under the Public Order Act. After more than a year and a half of these incessant, futile protests that are fonts of extremism and antisemitism, it is astounding that last week the Met allowed the protesters to return to Swiss Cottage. Now some sanity has been restored, but with vacillation like this, it is no wonder that the Met’s Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, commands the confidence of just 8% of British Jews.
Metropolitan Police
The Met has intervened to block a protest in Swiss Cottage this Friday to prevent further serious disruption to the life of the community. Officers have imposed Public Order Act conditions meaning it may not take place in Swiss Cottage or the surrounding area.
