• The Metropolitan Police has been blasted after telling protesters in Trafalgar Square to stop waving Israeli flags because it is a 'heritage site' - despite the square playing host to several pro-Palestine rallies in recent weeks.

  In a video shared online by the campaign group Eye on Antisemitism, the officer can be heard telling a protester to take the flag 'off the wall' in front of the National Gallery before he is then challenged by someone filming the exchange.

  During the two-minute clip, the Met constable says: 'You're not meant to be here because this is a protected heritage site, so you need a licence to be here, to do what you're doing.

• 'You didn't have one in the first place and we've been nice enough to let you be here, alright?'

  The person filming claims during the clip that the officer 'got jittery' after someone shouted 'Free Palestine' - and points out that the square has been the site of many pro-Palestine rallies in the last two months.
