The Metropolitan Police has come under scrutiny following a pro-Palestine march in central London today. Footage captured by a person named Emily and shared on social media reveals a tense exchange between two women and two police officers regarding a swastika displayed by another individual during the event.

In the video, one of the women repeatedly questions whether the swastika is anti-Semitic. One of the officers appears to downplay its significance, while the other casually sips from a cup of tea or coffee. The discussion then shifts to Section 5 of the Public Order Act, with the officer emphasising the need to consider the context. He acknowledges that the swastika was associated with the Nazi party during their reign.
