The Metropolitan Police will distribute leaflets at the upcoming pro-Palestinian march in London, outlining language restrictions for protesters. In response to criticism, the Met aims to prevent extremist views by clarifying unacceptable language, warning against racist, terrorist-supporting, or celebratory expressions. With 1,500 officers deployed, the force emphasizes a new approach, directly informing protesters about speech limits. Protection of war memorials and prevention of breakaway protests are priorities. The move precedes a major antisemitism march on Sunday, where right-wing activist Tommy Robinson is expected. "Mutual aid" officers from other forces will support operations.
