He said that the UK is in 'serious danger' if police are allowed to support Hamas sympathisers against law-abiding protesters such as him. They also waved Palestine flags and carried banners which read 'Stop the war on Gaza', '30,000 dead' and 'Ceasefire now' as they set off from Hyde Park Corner. Dressed in a brown coat, green leopard print top and scarf, she was among the front-runners at the protest

Ms Church said she joined the pro-Palestine protest to 'show solidarity with the people of Palestine for all that they are suffering through'. 'There's been singing there's been drumming, yes, there's been emotion, but in the majority that emotion has been love, has been compassion because that's why we're all here.

But the singer later said she would 'do it again 100 times' and denied being anti-Semitic, criticising Israel for creating 'hell on Earth' with its concentrated military bombardment campaign in Gaza since October. The route ran along Vauxhall Bridge Road and over Vauxhall Bridge itself before proceeding along Nine Elms Lane and stopping outside the US Embassy near Battersea Power Station

Robin Simcox, the Home Office's independent advisor on extremism accused the Government for letting extremists go 'unchallenged for too long'.

He said he that many are 'extremely disturbed by the weekly marches through the centre of London' which all feature 'extremely disturbing slogans' and antisemitic signs'. They have required 35,464 officer shifts, and more than 5,200 officer rest days to be cancelled in order to manage the disruptions, police said on Friday.

Writing in the Telegraph, Mr Simcox said Britain has a 'permissive environment for radicalisation developing that needs urgently addressing'.The counter-extremism tsar said Downing Street now had a chance to take charge of the situation while championing 'respect for the rule of law, civility, and decency' - which he said had been in 'short supply' since October 7.

During Saturday's protest there will also be a counter protest led by Itai Galmudy, however he is only expecting 50-100 people maximum to attend as 'people are afraid and not everybody's willing to take the risk'.Pro-Palestine protests have cost the Met Police £32.2 million so far as thousands more marchers are set to take to London streets this weekend.
