Subject: Urgent Call for Accountability and Action: Addressing Discrimination and Disorder in London


To: Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, and James Cleverly, Home Secretary


From: Bénédict Tarot Freeman,

Video Production News


Dear Mayor Khan and Home Secretary Cleverly,


I write to you today with a profound sense of urgency and concern regarding two critical issues plaguing our city: discrimination within the Metropolitan Police Service and the erosion of law and order amidst ongoing protests.


The recent incident involving Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, has brought to light a disturbing pattern of discrimination and prejudice within our law enforcement agencies, particularly under the leadership of Sir Mark Rowley.


Mr. Falter's targeted harassment based solely on his Jewish identity during a pro-Palestine march is an affront to the values of equality and justice that our society holds dear. The feeble attempt at apology from the Metropolitan Police, marked by victim-blaming and an utter lack of accountability, only exacerbates the gravity of the situation.


Sir Mark Rowley's failure to address the surge in antisemitic crimes and uphold the basic principles of equality underscores a systemic issue that demands immediate action. It is imperative that he resigns or be removed from his position to restore faith in our law enforcement agencies and ensure the safety of all citizens, regardless of their background.


Simultaneously, we must address the ongoing chaos and disorder stemming from the pro-Palestine protests that have persisted for six months unchecked. These protests have devolved into scenes of lawlessness and intimidation, with the Metropolitan Police failing to assert control or enforce the law effectively. The erosion of law and order not only undermines public safety but also threatens the very fabric of our society.


If the Metropolitan Police cannot manage these protests and prevent them from infringing upon the rights and freedoms of law-abiding citizens to go about their daily business uninpeaded, serious questions must be raised about their ability to fulfill their duty to the public. The consequences of allowing this chaos to continue are too grave to ignore.

Mayor Khan, Home Secretary Cleverly, the time for decisive action is now. We cannot afford to allow discrimination and disorder to prevail in our streets. It is imperative that we hold those in power accountable and restore faith in our justice system.


Additionally as staunch supporters of maintaining & holding the Police's Thin Blue Line, Video Production News emphasizes the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that law enforcement agencies have the necessary resources and support to carry out their duties effectively. The integrity of our justice system and the safety of our communities depend on it.


Mayor Khan, Home Secretary Cleverly, the time for decisive action is now. We cannot afford to allow discrimination and disorder to prevail in our streets. It is imperative that we hold those in power accountable and expeditiously restore faith in our justice system.


Yours Faithfully.
