Extraordinary if true. The police better have a really cast-iron reason for doing so - it's somewhat hard to imagine what that would be, in the case of a former UK ambassador. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray

I know nothing about this guy, but in this tweet, its pretty clear why: https://twitter.com/CraigMurrayOrg/status/171333500612114051...

"If that is a crime, send me back to jail."

Well, yes, its been made pretty clear [1] that, this is indeed a crime in the UK. Now whether that is right or wrong, is for a million other people to argue about, but it is a crime.

And, in the replies, many were quick to tag police and cpsuk to let them know.

I think Craig is someone who knows very clearly how power works, and that true evil is systematic and does not appreciate the limelight, yet he bravely persists.

Yikes. That’s not exactly a great look.

>Asked whether he condemned Londoners waving flags in support of Hamas, he added: “Waving the flag of Hamas is against the law. Hamas is proscribed and the police are making sure that they enforce the law.

The flag of Palestine ≠ the flag of Hamas.

Hamas is not the Palestinian people, and the Palestinian people are not Hamas.

>“There’s obviously a distinction with the right to freedom of protest and so forth, but nobody likes to see people scared as a consequence of the actions of others.”

Must be nice to be able to so easily bat away the rights and freedoms which underpin free societies.
