When there is a risk of extremists using the cover of a pro-Palestinian march to invoke “jihad” at the weekend, the pendulum swings back towards those who ask whether police powers are adequate.One Met officer put the matter in robust terms, posting on X, formerly Twitter: “I must have missed the bit in law class where the police can ban gatherings the Prime Minister finds disrespectful.”
If ever proof were needed that policing a protest is a delicate task, the coming days will provide it in abundance.Vernon Bogdanor
