Pro-Palestinian Protests in UK "Stirred Up by Iranian and Hamas Network"

(Telegraph-UK) Charles Hymas - Pro-Palestinian protests in the UK have been stirred up by a "sophisticated" Iranian and Hamas network operating within Britain, Robin Simcox, the head of the Commission for Countering Extremism at the Home Office, will warn on Thursday. He will warn that the thousands of protesters who have come out onto the streets following the Hamas terror attacks on Israel did not appear out of nowhere.

But her calls within Government for it to be proscribed have been resisted by the Foreign Office.
