Original Note:
Gross misinformation. The MET has not banned the protest. Further, the BBC is not the issue: the protest would gather next to the Central Synagogue of London, potentially exacerbating the risk of conflicts. Protests outside the BBC routinely happened in the past. https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-uses-powers-to-prevent-protest-gathering-close-to-london-synagogue-492451 https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/palestine-protest-blocked-synagogue-london-police/ https://www.thetimes.com/uk/law/article/gaza-protesters-set-to-clash-with-police-over-march-near-synagogue-26rkdz58x https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/gaza-protest-palestine-solidarity-campaign-bbc-central-synagogue-b1203809.html
