Chanting jihad on the streets of London is 'completely reprehensible', immigration minister Robert Jenrick has told Sky News - as he confirmed terror arrests have been made in the UK since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
Speaking to Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips today, Mr Jenrick said 'we want to make sure that the police do everything that they can to protect British Jews'. The Metropolitan Police has faced criticism after finding no offence was committed when a man was filmed chanting 'jihad, jihad' at a protest in London.
It is inciting terrorist violence and it needs to be tackled with the full force of the law. 'Ultimately, it's an operational matter for the police and the CPS whether to press charges.' He added: 'There have been arrests under terrorist legislation. And we want to do everything that we can to protect British Jews. 'But this is a broader question beyond just legality, it also is a question about values.
