YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Hundreds of protesters waving Palestinian flags gathered in Trafalgar Square to protest the government's plans to ban the group under anti-terror laws.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper confirmed the decision to ban Palestine Action on Monday, which will make it illegal to be a member of the group.

Many have criticised the drastic measure, claiming it violates the right to protest and free speech.

The protest, which started relatively peacefully, quickly turned chaotic when police stormed into the crowd and detained a number of protesters, after one of them allegedly pushed a police officer.

The Cross Question panel get into an impassioned debate over the Home Secretary's decision.

The panel from left to right: Zoe Gardner, Tobias Ellwood, Simon Marks, Baroness Luciana Berger, Robert Colvile.
