Home secretary calls pro-Palestine protests after Manchester attack 'un-British'

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has told the BBC she was "disappointed" pro-Palestinian protests went ahead on Thursday in the wake of the terror attack that killed two men outside a synagogue in Manchester.

"I do think that carrying on in this way does feel un-British, it feels wrong," she said of protests planned for this week.

Demonstrators in central London protested the Israeli navy halting a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza outside of Downing Street on Thursday evening.
