Met Police officers have been accused of 'two-tier policing' after allegedly threatening to charge two men for waving the Israeli flag at Palestine Action's protest yesterday.

Hundreds of protesters gathered at Trafalgar Square in response to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's plan to add the group to the government's list of proscribed terrorist organisations.

The decision came after members last week broke into RAF Brize Norton and damaged two military planes and other 'violent' action - including one incident where two police officers were assaulted with a sledgehammer.

At Palestine Action's protest on Monday, two Jewish men who waved an Israeli flag in counter-protest to the group said police forced them onto a double decker bus.

Trainee barrister Isaac Grand, 22, accused the Met of 'two-tier policing' after they escorted him away whilst protesters chanted 'Zionist scum' at him.
