Pro-Palestinian protests: Thousand demonstrate across UK

Tens of thousands of pro Palestinian protesters have taken to the streets in London and other cities around the UK for the fourth week in a row.

Oxford Circus was brought to a standstill as part of the crowd staged a sit-in. Earlier the UK’s Chief Rabbi warned against the rise of “hateful extremism” and claimed the line was in danger of becoming blurred between demonstrators and those who “support the brutal terrorism of Hamas”.
