(LBC) The area with the highest Muslim population of any local authority in the UK is to take down Palestinian flags after receiving hundreds of complaints.
Tower Hamlets’ mayor has announced the council will begin the process of removing Palestinian flags flying above their buildings.
It is revealed that since October 2023, the council has received 300 complaints about flags, graffiti, and stickers which relate to the Gaza conflict.
Lutfur Rahman said it was a “difficult decision” to remove the flags, which he claims “are being used to unfairly attack the people of the borough and further the Islamophobic narrative.”
Initially, the London council decided not to remove the flags to not “destabilise community cohesion.”
