This is the most extraordinary and unpleasant interaction between a not-very-bright Met officer and a British citizen.
This British citizen has just left his synagogue and is trying to go home.
In his way is a Palestinian supporting demonstration with various banners with anti-Jewish slogans.
The policeman tells the British citizen that if he continues to try to cross the road he will be arrested for potentially upsetting the demonstrators.
Mr Falter said: “I was identifiable as a Jew but was otherwise like any other Londoner.
I was not part of any demonstration and was not wearing any stickers or carrying any signs, flags or the like.
“I was exercising my right to walk around my home city as a Jewish Londoner. A year ago, that would not have been controversial. But now, it is.
“Despite being told repeatedly that London is safe for Jews when these marches are taking place, my interactions with police officers last Saturday show that the Met believes that being openly Jewish will antagonise the anti-Israel marchers and that Jews need protection, which the police cannot guarantee."
The Dame has commented about lousy Met leadership: this is an example. It makes one ashamed to be British.
