More than 30 Palestinian flags have been removed from lamp posts on the A11 in the London borough of Tower Hamlets. Transport for London took down the flags after members of the public expressed concerns to police on social media. TfL and Tower Hamlets Council say they must keep the road network free of unauthorised objects. The Metropolitan Police says that flying the Palestinian flag does not alone constitute a criminal offence, but that there are some situations where their presence could be seen as intimidation.
