Because it was felt that his presence there, and he was told that he was openly jewish, it was felt that his presence there could lead to a breach of the peace. The police have apologised twice for the handling of this event. The first time they apologised and said that in their defence they said that it was difficult to police in the circumstances and theyd had a new trend of people protesting alongside the pro palestinian protests, trying to make their views heard, this was a provocation.

Sadiq khan, the mayor of london, has also been speaking out today and he said the handling by police of this incident had been insensitive. But he also acknowledged that the police have a very difficultjob to do
