00:00The words and chants used, especially in protests, matter and they have real-world consequences.
00:12We have consistently been advised by CPS that many of the phrases causing concern to Jewish
00:16communities don't meet prosecution thresholds. However, now, in the escalating threat context,
00:23we will recalibrate our operational actions to be more assertive. We know communities
00:28are concerned about placards and chants, such as Globalised Intifada, and those using it
00:33at future protests or in a targeted way should expect the Met or Greater Manchester Police
00:39to take immediate action. Violence acts have taken place. The context has changed. Words
00:45have meanings. Words have consequences. We will act decisively. We will make arrests.
