The arrest of a British man expressing discontent regarding the display of Palestinian flags on Bethnal Green Road in London has ignited fresh concerns about the lack of free speech in the United Kingdom, a nation swerving towards even more limits on civil liberties.
On Tuesday, October 31, the unnamed individual was apprehended by Metropolitan Police officers, who were subsequently captured on film escorting him to a police vehicle.
This man has been arrested for saying “why are they over here etc… we let them into our country etc” when making a video about Palestinian flags flying in London.

But no action was taken against repeated calls for Jihad on our streets.
