Looks like both the Policing Minister and Junior Minister are not happy about the Met claiming there were no threatening signs at last weekends' protests.
'Officers from the London force told Dame Diana Johnson, the policing minister, that no threatening signs were on display at Saturday’s demonstration in Parliament Square. This led her to insist in interviews that there was no evidence the law had been broken.
In fact, several were visible, including two with hangmen and slogans such as “the only good terf is a ---- one”, implying gender-critical feminists should die.
Another urged opponents to perform a “DIY lobotomy” on themselves, while one appeared to show bullet holes alongside the message: “I will make you listen.”
Chris Philp, the shadow policing minister, described the Met’s “misleading” briefing as “deeply alarming” and added that any suggestion of unequal treatment of protesters risked fuelling accusations of “two-tier policing.”
He said: “It is deeply alarming that the Met Police provided misleading information both to the Government and journalists. The Police are quick to jump on certain protesters, they should be just as vigilant about these ones, or we risk two-tier policing.
“Threats of violence towards women by pro-trans protesters are completely unacceptable, and the perpetrators should be identified and prosecuted.”'
As is widely known, Jo Grady of the UCU shared a picture of one of the 'hangman' signs herself on X.
