British Home Secretary Suella Braverman accused the London Metropolitan Police of bias as pro-Palestine protests gained momentum this week. The unexpected allegation came amid growing calls for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to fire the divisive politician. Similar agitations have been held in London and other British metropolises every weekend since the war began more than a month ago.
“Sadly, there is a perception that superior police officers play preferences when it comes to protesters Right-wing and nationalist protesters who engage in aggression are rightly met with a stern response yet pro-Palestinian masses displaying almost identical behaviour are largely ignored, even when breaking the law. I have spoken to serving and former police officers who have noted this hypocrisy,” Suella Braverman wrote in an article for ‘ The Times ’.
The assertion comes mere hours after Sunak said on Wednesday that the United Kingdom government accepted their “ right to peacefully protest”. He would previously criticised the planned protests on Remembrance weekend as “ provocative and disrespectful”.
“Right-wing and nationalist protesters who engage in aggression are rightly met with a stern response yet pro-Palestinian mass displaying almost identical behaviour are largely ignored, even when breaking the law, “Suella Braverman countered.
“The content was not agreed with Number ten,” a spokesperson for Sunak told journalists on Thursday.
Downing Street – the Prime Minister’s office is now investigating how Suella Braverman’s comments were published without its consent. An AFP report specified to people familiar with the matter claims that the speech was sent to Sunak’s office. However, changes requested by the Prime Minister’s team were not implemented.
According to other individual people familiar with the matter, the speech was sent to Sunak’s office, which requested and asked for changes that were not made.
Suella Braverman had also courted debate earlier this week after contending that some people were homeless as a “stay of living”.
