Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has said his officers cannot "enforce taste and decency" after concerns were raised over officers allowed 'jihad' chants at a pro-Palestine protest. It comes after the Metropolitan Police said it was told about clips showing a man at a Hizb ut-Tahrir protest chanting "jihad" during a campaign in London on Saturday. The Home Secretary Suella Braverman confronted Mr Rowley on Monday about why officers allowed the chants to go ahead.
" Police said specialist officers had reviewed clips of a man chanting "jihad, jihad" and signs and banners that referred to Muslim armies but said it did not identify any offences.It added that "jihad" has "a number of meanings" while "there are varying interpretations" of what "Muslim armies" can refer to.
