“Let us be precise about what has happened here. The Met gave the political heart of London to a far-right movement whose supporters chanted ‘send them home’. It applied hate speech conditions to a Palestinian commemoration that has never once produced a hate-speech arrest.

That is not neutrality. It is a choice. And choices like this do not merely fail democracy. They make unmistakably clear whose democratic rights are being upheld and whose are being curtailed”
