In that sense, I am sympathetic to dealing with non-violent ideology and extremism; I just do not know how to do it in the law. But I do want to know who the police are talking to, which mosques and which churches—we do not want to be sectarian, so let us have them all. The public need to know. I know that the Met’s counterterrorism command engages broadly with communities, apart from anything else seeking out advice on ideologies, including religious ideologies, perhaps with some grotesque results. Who can forget when the Metropolitan Police posted on social media in October 2023 about the true meaning of jihad in the middle of a demonstration by Hizb ut-Tahrir, which was referencing liberating Palestine and Muslim armies on the streets of London?
