The Metropolitan police commissioner has hit back at criticism of his force’s decision not to makes arrests after shouts of “jihad” at an anti-Israel protest, saying the police cannot enforce “taste and decency” and laws should be changed if politicians want tougher action taken.
Mark Rowley was speaking after meeting home secretary on Monday, with Suella Braverman asking why police did not arrest those responsible for chanting “jihad” at a rally of the Islamist Hizb ut-Tahrir group on Saturday.
